Thoughts on Manhattanville?

D and I toured M’ville a couple of months ago and I posted a review in the “college visit” section.

The campus is rather stark (enter into a huge parking lot, lots of utilitarian bldgs, shares athletic fields w/ neighboring boarding school) except for the attractive castle-like admin building. The weekend we visited, the school was deserted except for non-traditional students enrolled in Saturday classes.

Also, while M’ville is only a short drive from SUNY-Purchase, the schools most certainly are not “across the street” from each other. This is significant because (1) there are no sidewalks, so walking between the schools would not be advisable and (2) despite the fact that the schools are nearby, there is no shuttle service nor is there any other evidence of collaboration between the two. M’ville does, however, offer shuttle service to White Plains and to NYC.
