I want to see how good my professors really are

Just finished my first year at the Mount! I absolutely love it here and can't wait for school to start again this fall!
Overall 4.5
Mount St. Mary's is the best school in the universe. The professors and administration actually care about you. I'm Catholic and there is plenty of opportunities for mass, adoration, bible studies, etc. The best part is the Grotto, in the fall it was my favorite place to study. It's beautiful. Would highly recommend coming here to check it out.

There has never been a day that I regret my choice to come to the Mount. The community aspect of the university really serves as its foundation with a great student population. The professors are accessible outside of class and you really are able to form personal bonds. The campus itself is beautiful and the grotto only makes it more picturesque.

Mount is a great campus. They really care about your education.

I love the Mount. The school is GORGEOUS and the teachers are awesome; I know most of mine personally. I would recommend the Mount if you like nature and don't mind driving a little to get to the shopping areas. Also, because the Mount is a smaller school, you'll always run into familiar faces. I really like this quality but some people hate it.

Love The Mount!!!
Overall 4.1
Lots of events and organizations to get involved with and a welcoming community with them. Not much here if you're a massive party person. Conversely, if you care about your academics, this school is great. A drawback is the location, but the campus itself is beautiful. Overall, great for anyone that wants to go to a small school.

I loved the Mount! Academically, the professors provide doable challenges that really help you learn and grow. There were plenty of student worker jobs, frequent events to go to, and just a really pleasant, personable atmosphere. I worked as an RA/DA, so I'd encourage freshmen to get involved in something they enjoyed where they could make friends.

This school isn’t safe at all anyone can just come here and do what they want at any time, the school offers nothing to do all everyone does is eat, study, drink, smoke, and sleep. There’s no where to go nothing it’s basically a hotel. The only good thing about this place is the teachers are cool but this place is very depressing.
Overall 1.1
Unless you're planning on going to the seminary or having your parents pay for your MBA right out of your BS, there is no reason to go here. If the only reason you choose this school is "it feels right," you will quickly grow out of this sentiment. This school takes itself seriously but is a joke.

Dont be fooled by the orientation and open house you will soon realize its much different when u actually have to be here everyday. Mostly spoiled rich kids ,religion junkies,wanna be "jocks" and the occasional normal kid with a brain.If you're not a preppy kid who loves partying,and drinking til u drop youll probly hate it at some point.

The campus is in the middle of nowhere, there are virtually no clubs and the few I did sign up for I never heard from. There is nothing do on campus, very limited food choices and hours, and since its in the middle of nowhere you cant go anywhere without a car.

I can't even say how much I regret coming here. The undergrad programs are a complete joke. The professors have a chip on their shoulders and lack real world experience.
