Mount Mary University Top Questions

Having an overwhelming majority of women of mixed ages and ethnicities in my classes has helped keep the classroom focused on women as a whole and not divided between men and women or by age; this was not the case at any of the other schools I either attended or considered attending. The sense of social justice for all, and the encouragement to pursue it, was not present at any other institution either; social justice is something that impacts everyone, but few give it a second thought, and I enjot being taught more about it at Mount Mary College.

What's unique about Mt. Mary is that it's a small campus. The classroom sizes are perfect to have a one-on-one talk with you professors and be more involved in discussions. Compared to other Universities you won't get that much interaction with your professors during lectures and will have to set up appointments with him. Here at Mt. Mary the teachers are always open to questions whenever.

Class sizes

I chose Mount Mary College mainly because of the atmosphere. I love the small class sizes, I feel that I get to really know my professors. You see the staff around campus and it's very easy to engage with them. I like that Mount Mary is a female based college because of the rich history it has with educating women for one hundred years. As someone who was once afraid college would be too challenging, I found myself at a 4.0 this past semester, due to hardwork and determination, but also the support of my professors.

When considering school I found the small class sizes to be very unique for a college. I had attended UW-Milwaukee prior and the classes were so large that I didn't feel that I was able to recieve the input I desired from my professor. At Mt. Mary I am able to get to know my professor's.

At Mount Mary College they put an emphasis not only on the education but also helping students and prospective students better themselves. They are willing to assist the student in anyway possible and make the student feel as if they are not just another number but a person that the college actually cares about.

Every school has professors who have studied their area of expertise, we have professors who have traveled the world doing Anthropology. Since we are a Catholic college many think that many things are based aroung religion, but actually it has expanded my knowledge of so many things regarding not only different religions, but also my own. Also, because we have a smaller campus, we are lucky in that we have very small class sizes and our discussions are always quite interesting. The Sisters keep us on our toes about things we think they do not know or discuss. Quite funny!

The best thing about Mount Mary is that it is a small school and you get personal help from your teachers. You are not just a name you are actually a person to your professors and they want you to succeed.

I have already recieved an undergraduate degree and am going back to school for nursing. Mount Mary has a special feel to it. You don't feel like a number there you feel like an individual. Professors take the time to learn your name and are always available to students if they need extra help. It truly is a great college.

Everyone was very helpful and nice while I was applying and trying to make my financial situation work. I also really appreciated the free application I got to fill out as a second degree student.
