I know and have spoken at length with several non-theater/non-MT student who have successfully graduated from Marymount Manhattan with majors in the social sciences, IR and psych. All have moved on to grad school, and for the most part, all are pleased and positive about the education that received. There are always a few clinker professors on any campus, just like there are always a few clinker students. BUT, these students have reported that they felt they were able to develop positive relationships with professors, who connected them with internships and people in the professions they were interested in.

As far as lack of campus, that’s why many students go to school in NYC. They say that there is a camaraderie in the classroom, and mast student do socialize with each other – either in the dorms, or in their respective apartments. These are independent students, who are happy to be learning life lessons. NYC is expensive, so it’s also common for students to have part-time jobs.

As far as school spirit – it’s there, but it does not revolve around sports or teams. Because of the pervasive arts-focus, school spirit manifests in attendance at various performances, as well as at debates or other activities to support fellow students.
