Monmouth & You

Why did you choose Monmouth?

I knew I wanted to go to a smaller school, and really loved all the classes and extracurriculars Monmouth had to offer.

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

Find somewhere that you think you’d be able to live. You can get so focused on what it can offer as a school you might miss if it is a place you would also want to live for most of the year.

What advice do you have for students who choose Monmouth?

Put yourself out there! It seems really scary, but there’s a great community here and if you try to meet people and try different activities you’ll find where you want to be.
