The Monmouth College campus provides a charming and comfortable living and
learning environment that is both ideal and idyllic as a traditional
college setting. Often admired for the beauty of its trees and pleasant
spaces, the campus is surrounded by a handsome residential area just a
short distance from the town center. It is a walking campus where no
building is far from any other and where members of the College quickly
come to recognize familiar faces as they meet on campus walks and
congregate for College occasions. For students in some institutions, the undergraduate years mean only
taking courses.
In contrast, Monmouth’s students find
that education extends beyond the classroom, reaching into faculty homes,
residence halls and dining room, embracing a broad range of co-curricular
activities. Lectures, concerts and performances by visitors are planned to
compliment the academic program. The College newspaper and other
publications, the campus radio station, religious services, music groups
and the theater provide opportunities for students to develop their
talents and to enrich the College’s life. Many members of the College find
challenge and learning opportunities in the athletic programs, both
intramural and intercollegiate. A prominent focus of campus interest is
the student government, which is responsible for a broad range of
activities. In all of these there are opportunities for learning, for
leadership and for interaction with faculty members.
