Why did you choose Monmouth?

My sister went to Monmouth, so I spent a lot of time here thanks to family events and music concerts. I got very familiar with the campus and community; I had my mind made up that I wanted to go here before it was even time to apply. It was just very easy to imagine my future here!

What advice do you have for students searching for a college?

Take everything into consideration! Even if it feels insignificant. You’ll be spending the next few years on that campus, so it’ll be very important to make sure it’s exactly what you want.

What advice do you have for students who choose Monmouth?

Everything will seem overwhelming at first, and you’ll feel exhausted all the time. I cannot stand it when someone tells me “So many people are going through the same thing you are”, but it’s true. It’s cool to ask someone else if they’re having the same issues. Work with one another to sort it out!
