My D was actually pleasantly surprised by her experience at Mville. She did an overnight and took a couple of classes. She found the students open, intelligent and very friendly. The people at the college were very helpful and supportive. It is a small campus - basically a rectangle. She was a little disappointed by the small number of clubs that the school supported, but loved the international element. Despite the fact that it is a small school, it has made a strong push to attract students from other countries. There are a large number of students from the Dominican Republic, but actually there are a number of students there from around the world. Her areas of interest are Art, Psychology and International Studies. All of there programs are strong at the school. The school takes advantage of its proximity to NY with an event in the city just about every weekend. They also take advantage of their connection with the UN with regular visits and guest lecturers all the time.

All in all, it’s a great small school. If my D stays up north, she’ll probably go there. But she has also been accepted to Tulane and Eckerd and I have a feeling she is headed down south.
