“Especially as a politics major, I know thatQuite BrightPreLaw and Legal
Especially as a politics major, I know that I made the right choice. The school is in close proximity to the Washington, DC area, and is a great place for internships. From the first semester, I have been learning a lot from outstanding professors. When it is all said and done, there is not a doubt in my mind that I will be prepared for whatever I want to do after I graduate. MU is a school I would definitely recommend.

“This school should be more prestigious and wellQuite BrightOther
This school should be more prestigious and well known. There are some outstanding programs here. Marymount is very diverse and I love being a part of that.
The renovations are in the works. I think that the university will eventually become more selective because of the growth that is underway. Good academics. Certain departments are better than others. And I know that firsthand, because I have changed my major. Therefore, I have taken a lot of different kinds of classes here at this university.
I have had some good times and bad here, made great friends, and have also encountered some of the most snobby and close-minded people that I have ever met. (Very diverse school) There are some great faculty members, and overall the professors are very good at what they do. However, some are terrible and I am shocked that they were even able to earn a masters degree.
Don't get me wrong. If you get accepted, you can do great things here. I recommend my school to prospective students. You are not just a number at Marymount. It isn't too hard to become a student leader, peer mentor, MU Ambassador, or start a club. You can do all of those things, actually. And there will be people willing to help you accomplish your goals. Marymount has a great reputation in the area, and if you say that you graduated from this school, your prospective employers will take you seriously.

“Marymount is what you make of it, asQuite BrightEnglish
Marymount is what you make of it, as all colleges are. There are a lot of opportunities for students to participate in activities that they are interested in. It is very easy to get involved. It's a small liberal arts university; some people like that. Some people don't. You can be a big fish in a small pond at this school. One thing that I really like about the academic programs here is that you can often choice a track within your major. For example, within the English major, Marymount offers 4 tracks in writing, literature, dramatic arts, and education. There are similar opportunities within the art major, communications major and the school of business. However, in the school of business, it is not called a "track." It is called a "specialty." At Marymount, it is required that you complete an internship before graduation. I recommend that you start a positive relationship with your adviser early on, and they will help you. Make a relationship with your professors too. They will get to know you- it's a small campus. Love it or hate it, but the environment is warm. You can get a great education here, and build your resume as well.
Props to the new president, Dr. Shank, in his valiant efforts to beautify the campus and starting the Common Ground Campaign. Hopefully the school will become more well known and eventually more prestigious. The school is a hidden gem. Marymount offers many programs that are accredited in high regard within the profession realm. Since, this school will be a Alma mater, I hope that this will pay off, and I can be proud to say that I was an MU Saint in college.
