What kind of person should not attend this school?

Andrea

One that is will be looking for a major that Montevallo doesn't offer

Bree'Anna

Montevallo is an liberal arts college, you will potentially see more open-minded, free spirted people walking around the campus. Montevallo is not the place for someone witht he hopes of becoming a lawyer, nor a place for people who are looking for the big college atmosphere. Montevallo is more for a person who is looking for a campus that you have the opportunity to know your professors and most of all classmates on a personal level.

Stephanie

I do not believe that there is a person that should not attend the University of Montevallo. All of the students here are accepting to everyone. The University of Montevallo has clubs, organizations, events for people of all interests. For example, we have a club here for people who love Harry Potter and cats. Anyone will fit in at the University of Montevallo. We have a very well rounded student community.

Mary

A person that is focused on a thriving greek life or any person that is close minded may not be satifisfied in attending school here.

Margaret

A person who is unaccepting of other people's way of life should not attend this school. The University of Montevallo is filled with so many different people who are unique in their own way. People here express themselves through the arts and even through the way they dress. A 'traditional' person who holds traditional values and cannot accept the way others choose to live their lives should not attend this school.

Katherine

There is no exact type of person who should not attend this school. The University of Montevallo is not your traditional four year college, but there are many aspects that will make ay student feel at home. The univeristy offers sororities and fraternities, many options for sports (excluding football), and many academic programs.

Caroline

Anyone that wants a football program or has the need to live in a large city.

Robin

In my experience, any kind of person could attend this school. It doesn't matter where you come from or where you're going. It doesn't matter what your major is, you kind find a place to fit in at this school.

If you get offended easily by the actions or beliefs of others, then Montevallo is not for you because everyone here is unique and expresses their uniqueness.

Joi

If a person is outgoing, likes to go to parties everyday, and must have activities near the school, they should not attend Montevallo

Sara

The only kind of person I would say that shouldn't attend this school is a person who isn't open minded. After all the school is known to be a Liberal Arts school, and that should be a fair warning of the things one will see just from walking across campus. But also when you get a chance to talk to some people you have to able to stand your ground in what you believe, not saying that people aren't respectful of your beliefs but they are more than okay to discuss differences between your belief and theirs.

Lynsey

Someone who wants a super large school should not attend Montevallo.

Maegan

I person who is not open to equality and free rights for all. This school is full of diversity and everyone is open about their beliefs and sexuality. If you are not very open minded, you may feel shocked or out of your comfort range.

Kathryn

Someone who is very closed minded. You will see alot of different types of people and hear opinons different then your own. Everyone is really friendly.

maegen

A person that enjoys very large classes and being extremely independent,but Montevallo accepts everyone for who they are and always welcomes prospective students.

lydia

If you are an opinion less person Montevallo is not for you because they want you do be able to speak your own opinion no matter what it is!

Will

Every person should attend this school because it is an amazing university and accepts anyone who loves to learn and enjoy the college experince and wants to look forward into the future. To answer this question would be the wrong person who would attend this university would be a person whos is always focused on partying and not wanting to learn.

Kelsey

If you don't want to go to a school that has many years of traditions or if you don't want to be involved on campus, you probably shouldn't come Montevallo. If you don't want to get a private school education for a public school price or if you don't want a home-away-from-home feeling, you probably shouldn't come Montevallo. If you don't want to meet the best people, be exposed to diverse cultures, or be taught by the best educators, you definitely shouldn't come the University of Montevallo.

Maria

The University of Montevallo, being Alabama’s only public liberal arts college, prides itself on being very diverse. Having attended Montevallo for my freshman year, I can easily see the diversity on campus. We accept many races, many international students, many students that vary in culture, language, ethnicity, personality, religion, etc. Therefore, this University does not put limits or standards on the type of person that can be allowed into our community. As long as one meets the necessary academic requirements, the type of person that he or she is will be accepted.

SYDNI

Anybody who does not have a very open minded view on life and that can not accept people for who they are should maybe think twice about attenting the University of Montevallo. I say this because while attending school here i have made many new friends because of the very social atmosphere here.

Megan

Everyone should try to attend, this is one of the most accepting schools that I know.

Alison

Students who function best in a structured environment are not likely to succeed here. This college experience taught me a lot about self-management, meaning that I was responsible for getting myself to class and keeping my grades up. I certainly made mistakes, but I feel that I gained valuable insight about myself in doing so. However, anyone who is wary of change or academic freedom would probably be more comfortable at a larger university. This is a liberal arts school, and it remains true to its heritage.

Katie

One should not attend the University of Montevallo if that person wants a big campus atmosphere. Montevallo is a small school and there are not many people there. If one wants a school the size of the University of Alabama or Auburn University, that person should not attend the University of Montevallo.

Jennifer

Some one who gets easily offended. Since it is a liberal arts school, everyone is very different and oppinionated, and some may not like that.

Alexandra

I believe lazy, uninspired people shouldn't attend this school. This is a school for ambitious, creative, and hard-working people who are willing to do what it takes to succeed. The classes are challening, and requires students to put forth maximum effort.

Kimbrell

A very closed minded person would not appreciate how diverse and open this campus is. There are so many different types of people that sometimes it can be overwhelming but in a fresh way. Also if someone hates the outdoors and walking to class. The campus is beautiful and pretty small so everyone walks everywhere.

Cameron

There is no student that should not attend the University of Montevallo. At the University of Montevallo we accept people from all walks of life.

C

I think anyone could attend this school. But I think that students who are not willing to learn should not attend this school.

Stephanie

any person, but mostly an opened minded person.

Shaniese

Anyone can attend this college. It is homely to everyone.
