Manhattanville College is a wonderful school. I am currently an undergraduate studying here and I am a senior. The campus is gorgeous, especially when the seasons are changing. Fall is definitely my favorite time to be on campus. We have a castle that overlooks the entire campus and is lit up at night for a beautiful view. Everyone on this campus is very friendly and nice to be around. Although we are a small school I still see a new face everyday. Academics at Manhattanville are very important. All of our professors are very approachable and easily reached. They have posted office hours but they are available to meet at other times as well. Some professors give us their cell phone numbers as a better way of contacting them and they trust us enough that we are not going to harass them at all hours of the night because we have their number. Class sizes are small giving us a student to teacher ratio of 14 students to 1 professor. This allows for that one on one time with the professor so you do not feel like a number in the crowd. Professors take the time to learn your names and some even take attendance every class. Campus life at Manhattanville is amazing. There are at least two events going on every weekend and usually one going on every day throughout the week so there is always something to do. Residence Halls on campus are some of the nicest living areas I saw when I was looking for schools myself. They are spacious and comfortable to live in and there is plenty of storage space. Overall, Manhattanville College has exceeded all of my expectations. I could not be happier with choosing this school. I am looking forward to graduating and moving on with my career and seeing the different opportunities that will arise from connections I am making. Although I am excited to graduate I am sad about leaving such a warm and welcoming environment.
