Jesse - 10/28/2019

I am pleasantly surprised with the university. The professors have been incredibly skilled and down to earth with a genuine passion for each student to succeed. They make themselves available and teach the subject matter with great skill. The campus location may be the most beautiful place possible for a university, the view is truly a treasure. There are beautiful resting spots and chairs to sit and enjoy the peaceful aura. The only negative thing I have found is the facilities are a little older and unkept. I smelled mold in the student center and the one building reminds me of an old high school built in the 1940s. There is no proper football/soccer field to play games of that nature.

Marymount California University has a phenomenal view. It was love at first sight. The class sizes are great, which makes it perfect if you don't understand what's being taught. You could contact the professors and they'll assist you. There's also tutoring opportunity's. The environment around campus is a nice calm and suttle scene.

Wency - 05/21/2018

My overall rating for this school is a 4. The campus itself is very nice, has an amazing view of Catalina Island, which overall gives the campus a nice aesthetic. The professors are always willing to help you when needed, you can either call, text, email or talk​ during office hours.

Marymount has a great science department; however, there are a lot of problems with Marymount and if it weren't for the science department and the professors in this department, I would not be at Marymount. The class sizes are small so it is very one on one with professors which is really nice.

College is an enriching experience because you get to meet so many different people from different places with different experiences. I would tell myself to be open to new thoughts and experiences. I would also tell myself to keep my priorities in check and to not lose myself and my values amidst all the typical college partying and other activities. I would tell my high school self to not be nervous about the transition, but to be optimistic and excited. I would tell myself to stay strong and always persevere.

    SUPPORT. One of the best qualities, unlike any other school that has guaranteed it's students "the free will to achieve and carve their futures". Students here have been given a second chance, coming from different backgrounds of all kinds, their applications here are more than an analytical overview only fit for standards. The best phrase to put my school is a lending arm, its faculty and students all our present only for one sole purpose... to become part of the dreams' the students have aspired to make a reality. I feel that my school ,actually,has kept its word.

  10. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    When I first started, Marymount called themselves the "Marymount Miracle". I didn't know what this was but I had actually witnessed this in my sister's experience here.

I witnessed her transformation and I knew with the right help I too could be successful. I just completed my first semester and with their help I also had the best academic year of my life.
