Marymount College is ideal for those who don't want to get lost in the University/Larger Colleges. I have found that the smaller classrooms allow me to feel more comfortable in seeking further help from my teachers. Their study hall, as been a wonderful place for me to do my homework and research paper's I need to write. Being a new student, I am often not sure of many things, I have made many trips to the Administration Office and everybody I have come in contact with has been kind and helpful. This school really does make you feel like you matter and that you are important. I am enjoying everyday at my new school, I like my roommates and team mates. This school has everything I was seeking for college!

I suppose the best tip I could give to a new student, is to be open to meeting new people and become involved in activities. It's hard to leave our childhood friends behind, but I have found that by attending school functions and events, that I have added more people to my circle of friends. Marymount has wonderful events all year long, get out and meet your fellow students!

I really like the flexible class schedule. What a huge change from High School. When choosing my classes, I kept in mind, that I needed to challenge myself academically, but didn't want to overload myself to where I wouldn't be successful. I feel that I have, with the help of my advisor selecting classes that would help me achieve my future goals and challenge me. I like my teacher's and classes, but will always hate math, it's just not my thing. I have lots of homework, but it's all do-able, which was my goal as a freshman in college.

I really love the residential set-up at Marymount. We live in a community type setting, with a common area to play volleyball, read, eat, etc. Each resident has a full kitchen, so it's easy to save on food, by way of cooking at home. My roommates and I love having family night, where we all sit at the table (yes, the homes are full furnished) and share our days with one another. We have a 24-7 security guard (entry), I feel very safe and I don't worry about bad people wondering through. It's feels like I am living in my first apartment, but with all of the safety nets that I had at home. It's ideal for the freshman student, who hasn't been on their own before. Love it!

The campus food is really good and the variety to pick from is great! I love the salads my self and the fruit. But it's nice to pick up a burger from time to time and enjoy something that isn't so healthy. The dining area is nice and sunny and over looks the ocean, who wouldn't enjoy relaxing during a nice meal in that type of surrounding.

I like being around people, when I am not doing my homework. I often go to the common area and find friends just hanging out and join them in fun conversation. Sometimes, my roommates and I will take a drive to the beach, which is 15 minutes away or go out for dinner at the Redondo Beach Pier (when we have the money to spare).

For me, Marymount provides a well rounded academic environment along with community involvement as well. I love the diversity of the students and the selection of classes available. I really believe, that I am going to school in a place that wants me to succeed. From the classes, to the teachers and staff, to the location of the school, I can say, that Marymount has so much to offer. I am happy with my college selection!

The fact that this campus sits on a bluff overlooking the ocean, makes this campus location breath taking. I look forward each day, going to classes, seeing the ocean and feeling the ocean breeze everyday.

Small town students. I am from a small town and I will say that I was so afraid to attend a huge University. I knew everybody I went to High School with and there is something secure in that. Marymount is small, but has a University type academic setting. I love the smaller classrooms and getting to know my teacher's, just like at home. It's a family setting. I love it!

I am on the soccer team and enjoying that very much. It's hard work, but anything worth doing takes hard work. I am also involved in the Boys & Girls Club Program at Marymount. I want to work with children who have hearing disabilities as a speech therapist, being part of this program allows me to learn more about children while making a difference.

I feel very safe at school, it's in a nice residential area and I often see security on campus as well. I feel very safe at the resident as well. Security is very visible at all times.

Marymount College is a wonderful place to begin the transition into college. It is small, beautiful, and all of the staff are there to help you out. My experience with them so far is incredible, and I cannot wait for it to get better throughout my four years.

Take initiative: your parents are not responsible for you anymore. It shows maturity and self-accomplishment if you do everything yourself. Always ask questions if you need help; don't be afraid.

College is harder than high school. Every day counts, and it is really important to show up and really put all of your energy into your classes.

Marymount offers a dorm apartment complex for students.

Marymount has a very nice cafeteria and dining area that offers really good food everyday.

Marymount has a lot of clubs on campus, and the small student body tends to congregate together and have fun.

Marymount is a very small campus, and puts all of the students first. The student to teacher ratio is 9:1, so the professors really get to know you on a first name basis. It is a private school, so it is more expensive than others, but classes are pretty much guaranteed, and it is worth it in the long run because of the one-on-one experience and the ability to graduate on time.

Students who want the one-on-one experience with the professors. Students who like the small town environment, and like to know everyone.

There are many student clubs on campus that anyone is able to join if they are interested.

The campus is very small, and there are security guards posted around campus as well as in the dorm complex.

What amazed me most about my new college is the welcoming atmosphere. The staff and students were so nice and full of energy and the unity between everyone on campus is great. The size of the campus is small so that there is a small student to professor ratio I believe this will allow me to achieve more knowledge then in an average community college.

choose a school that has small class sizes if you want more one on one help with your learning expereience.

choose a school in good geographic location with favorable weather.

choose a school that matches your career choice

classes are able to challage the students here and it makes it an interesting expereience. also the teachers are so well prepared and always there to help.

from what i've seen the doorm life is very comfortable and energetic everyone knows everybody and it is a very homelike setting

the food is really yummy the cost is reasonable there are delicious meals for 5-7 dollars. we get free inn n out burgers on certain days and free starbucks as well. i love the food there.

we have a shuttle that takes us to the beach and to the movie theaters so transportation isnt an issue we also get 5 dollar disneyland tickets and also of discounts to aquariums and theme parks. we also have moonings where bands play at night during full moons in the court yard for the students

the moonings are interesting i cant wait for my first one. oh and we have a snow day where the staff brings piles of snow to our housing doors

great for nature loving people and for layed back people

there are a number of clubs i met during my campus visit like the GSA or gay straight alliance, peace core and many others there is a diverse number of clubs and they are all very nice

Our homes are in a gated community where no one without a pass can enter so we are safe and we have security 24/7

You really do learn alot. Not only about classes, but also about being a true leader, the environment, and helping out in the community.

There are a lot of activities to do in and out of school. There isn't a moment where you are bored.

This school may be expensive, but as long as you apply for scholarships, FAFSA, and grants then it wouldn't be a problem. There is a lot of help out there and Marymount also offers scholarships as well.

Remember to save money. Be ready to take on new things and do not be afraid to go out there and experience.

Who wants a proper education, who wants a great experience, fun, friendly environment, and great sceneries.
