The education here is awesome. Since the school is kind of small, you get more one on one sessions with your teachers which then helps you out more because you get ask more questions, get the feedback you need right then & there, & if teachers are not available, their are peer tutors, writing labs, & a program that we call Study Slam & that is where some of your teachers come in & give you one on one help as well. They also seduce students to come to Study Slam by buying pizza, ice cream, & soft drinks which not only lets them to be serious while working, but just having more of a good time.

I enjoyed my freshman year here at Menlo because their were always events going on that was keeping you busy. Their are music nights in the student union, carnival events on campus, & the list keeps going on. The Hawaii Club puts on some cool events that a lot of people like to attend. We have the reggae jam session which features a lot of reggae groups from Hawaii & California. And towards the end of school year, the Hawaii Club puts on their
Luau (Hawaiian Party) that brings a lot of attention from other schools, public, & students and staff on campus. I enjoy being here because I feel that I can fit in with everybody here at Menlo.

I'm not sure what Bang for the buck means but I'm kind of thinking that it means the financial part here at Menlo. Menlo is an expensive school here because it is a small school & it is in one of the richest cities in the nation. But the pros for coming to Menlo due to it being so pricey are the education that it offers which I had explained earlier, the school events that are always going on around campus, and also the scholarships they offer you. You can come to Menlo usually all on academic scholarships. They give you a good amount of money for you to come here at Menlo to learn how to come an entrepreneur & own your own business one day.

Some advice that I would offer prospective students if they plan on either applying or attending Menlo, they should really look at what they really want to do because Menlo has connections around Silicon Valley & if you perhaps meet people who know people, you will then start working your way up the rank. I would also recommend that students should apply to some outside scholarships because some students might not get the full academic scholarship & it could be hard to pay for at the start of school.

Menlo is a great school & if you choose to come here, you will have an awesome experience because you are in Northern California & their is a lot to do up here like going up to San Francisco & having a good time up there. There's a lot on the agenda and Menlo is willing to offer students that.

At Menlo, you don't get what you pay for, you get more than what you pay for.

Do not think twice: attend Menlo College. It is not nessesary to declare a major your freshman year, there is plenty of time to decide.

If you consider yourself highly talented in subject matter such as mathematics, you are mistaken. Come take an advanced Math 102 or Statistics course with Professor Loe, a retired Lockheed-Martin aeronautics engineer and we shall see who the talented one is.

The residence halls, with the exception of El Camino, smell of pristine tree:)

Sodexo is the company which caters to Menlo College. Most days, the food selection is phenomenal; their best days consist of an unlimited buffet style of options including a variety of salads, Chicken Parmesan and Alfredo Linguini, Asian style beef with spicy Thai noodles, a hamburger bar or taco station. I strongly commend Sodexo for employing individuals on their staff whom are diagnosed with cognitive disabilities and encourage management to replace employees that display poor attitudes toward Menlo staff and students.

Attend any or all Stanford Parties...
Go to San Francisco by car, bus, Caltrain, taxi or just obtain a free ride with one of the students here during the weekend...
Tavern night is always fun: free alcoholic beverages, exotic juices, sodas, ice cream, food, flirtatious exchanges and KAREOKE!!

Of course! Menlo College is the Stanford quality education without the Stanford price. (most full-time professors posses a Graduate degree from Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, etc.)

In a vast majority of events held on campus, food is never in short supply. Free gourmet pizza and wine may be found at any study event on most Tuesdays from 7-9pm.

Small atmosphere, business oriented, academically competitive, financially content, culturally accepting.

In addition to the abundant selection of clubs already in existence, Menlo College has permitted the procedures for formation of new clubs on campus to be quite simple. The completely unbiased Allocation Board Committee even supplies clubs with funding totaling a generous 400 dollars per semester.

There are reports of Greek Life arriving on campus in the near future, I believe a sorority of some sort.

Menlo's administration has retained the services of a privately held and highly experienced security firm based within the San Francisco Bay Area. The efforts of security guards whilst on duty are chiefly emphasised on repelling strangers from campus property as opposed to addressing in-house security issues--(because there are so few) However, in the event a student has the audacity to commit a vile act of littering, rest assure that our unyielding, five foot two inch Menlo Guards, shall pursue them with a black, spine-chilling MagLite flashlight.

I found that the education offered at this institution is superb. The largest class I have been in consisted of no more than 25 students. However, most of my classes consist of 10-15. The smallest class that I have had was of 5 people. Since the classes are so small, speaking to your professors is easy and painless. They provide you with an atmosphere where not only are you free to express your views and opinions, but you can also challenge others' views and opinions. As also, the professors here are the best in their fields. Not only that, but most professors not only teach at Menlo, but they work in the fields that they teach and are very successful.

I love attending Menlo! It is a small school, and it has so many programs for the students. If you are struggling with anything, anything at all, there is a program for it. What's even more amazing is that the programs are free. Every Tuesday you can go to study slam, where professors go to a common area and help you if you need any help. If that isn't enough, the students that attend Menlo are bright, and more often than not you can ask a fellow student for help.

Menlo College is a private small college, as a result it is very pricey. However, they do offer many scholarships. The people that you get to meet, the professors that teach, and the opportunities that this college offers you is well worth the price.

Menlo may be small, and look quiet, but it packs a punch.

Business, people who like one on one attention

You learn so much at this school. By the end of the year you finally realize how much more prepared you are to go out in the real world and start your career.

Although I realize it is known for being a small school, you create so many close bonds with everyone that goes here. As long as you join clubs and other extracurricular activities, it is definitely worth your time to go to this school. Menlo College is awesome!!

This is an expensive, but Menlo College does help us out a lot with scholarships, grants, and jobs on campus that make the payment process through your four years here a lot easier. You are also able to get all the classes you want unlike state or UC colleges that can barely offer you three classes a year.

This school is definitely very accepting of anyone that joins our Menlo community, so if you ever decide to join Menlo College it is very easy to make friends and learn a lot of new things you never knew about yourself before.

If you are interested in the business career I suggest you take a look at Menlo College. We are known for the prestige and acceptance of all major coorporations and businesses that look at our resumes once we leave Menlo College after four years.

No one class at Menlo is taught in the same way, each class is different whether it is a straightforward subject such as math or a diverse subject like the study of anthropology. After finishing off a semester no one student can say that they have the same mindset they had going into the class or that everyday something new was not learned.

Menlo College is an amazing place to be although Menlo College was not my first choice after visiting the school with my parents I knew this was the school that I wanted to attend. The people at Menlo College are very open and friendly there are no outsiders because the school is not just a school but a community family. Besides the school the community around Menlo College is amazing we are in walking distance of downtown Menlo Park and we are close to San Francisco.

I think Menlo College is a bang for your buck yes the school is expensive but the resources that are provided make up for the cost. Through out the school year there are plenty of giveaways of free Menlo gear, free food, free printing, free backpacks, free tutoring, tavern card (free beer 21+ on Thursdays) everything that the school puts one besides the two major dances are free for all students and even the day students get to eat in the cafeteria throughout the year free on certain days. (And all sporting events are free for students)

Get involved with the school and your college experience will be a hundred times better than expected.

Menlo College is very diverse and a good school for all types of students.

I believe since this college has fewer students that you will be able to get one on one help rather than going to a huge university and not getting much help because there are so many students.

College is a great way to meet new people and since this college is kind of small class wise then you would be able to get to know a bunch of new people.

I think it will pay off because you are getting a higher education and you know that you will have a lot of help.

The education here is awesome. The teachers are always willing to help you out with any problems you may have whether it be with school work or personal problems. The faculty is really dedicated to the students and making sure that they are happy. If we are having trouble with school, there are weekly study sessions where professors come to help students and fellow student tutors are able to help each other. There's also free pizza!

Coming from a small private school in Honolulu, Hawaii, I was hesitant to go to a large college. Menlo was a perfect transition for me because Menlo is also a small school, but bigger than my High School. Everyone is very friendly here and there are a lot of Hawaii students which makes it feel a lot like home. The faculty is always around to help you with anything you need. The CalTrain is only a few blocks away so its always easy to get to the Movies or the Mall or even San Francisco!

This is a pretty expensive school, but the education and friends you meet are worth it! Based on your High School GPA, they give you money from the start! So the higher your GPA, the more money you get!

Go to College with an Open Mind! Chances are they are as scared as you are! Be open to new experiences and making new friends! Don't try to attend a college where all your friends will be. The point of college is to move on from High School, so choose a school thats best for YOU, not for your FRIENDS.

Great school for Business/Accounting and Psychology Majors!!
