The class size is normally less than 25, and I even have one class with only 4 other people. It's really close and fun, and makes learning really easy.

I have made so many friends just by getting involved, and when you are involved you find so much to do you normally aren't bored at all.

It is still pretty expensive to pay for school, but they do have scholarships to apply for. I suggest applying for as many as you can. I know I got a litttle lazy with my applications, and now I am quite literally paying for it.

Get in touch with a professor or the department head for any majors you are interested in. Most of them will be glad to talk to you about the major. I know I was given contact information for both the art department and psychology department because I was debating which I wanted to major in or if I wanted to double major.

Don't mind being in a small town (most of the stores shut down around 8-10)
those who want to be involved
those who want a close relationship with their professors (at least those in your major anyway)

The classes sizes are small so you get more one on one interaction with the teachers.

The people here are great, easy to make friends, but the down side is there is not so much stuff to do in Monmouth, it is kind of small.

The school is great and is inexpensive if you get grants and scholarships that you qualify for. Good price for a great education!

Monmouth College is one of the most welcoming colleges I know of. There are so many clubs and organizations you can join, and since there's a relatively small student body you can become very close to your classmates quickly. Also, the professors are all very friendly and personable and I've never been afraid to email them and ask them questions about a class.

You definitely shouldn't overlook Monmouth College, like a lot of people do, just because it's a small school. Since it's a private liberal arts college I promise you will get just as good of an education as you would in a larger urban college. In fact you might get a better one since you're able to talk to your professors and get to know them one on one!

The workload at Monmouth College is about the same as it is at other colleges, from what I've compared with my friends. Most students take 4 or 5 classes a semester, which is awesome because it allows us to focus on those classes without being overwhelmed. We do get a substantial amount of homework, but if you buckle down and get rid of distractions it's completely doable.

I absolutely love the dorm life at college! I've become so close to my hall mates and I really feel like we're all a big family already! We do lots of things together, like ice cream night, tie-dye parties and we have a bowling trip planned. It's like a sleepover all the time!

The food in the caf is actually really delicioius, which I found surprising. There's different options every day so we don't get bored, and there's always healthy/vegetarian foods for those of us who don't really feel like a burger or an enchilada or whatever else they have that particular day.

There are so many organizations and clubs around campus that you literally have no reason to be bored EVER. We have everything from a Disney Club, to Relay for Life, to a Garden Club. There's something for everyone, and if you want to start a new club it's so easy!

I feel like you are definitely getting your money's worth when you come to Monmouth College. You are getting such a broad education that will give you skills that will help you in any future job you choose. But you are also able to focus on your major and specialize in that through courses you choose throughout your 4 years here.

We have a tradition called Scots Day where the bagpipers for our college run through all the dorm hallways, waking people up with their instruments. It sounds terrible but is actually a ton of fun!

Monmouth College is perfect for students who like to get one-on-one time with their instructors and are serious about actually learning the material, not just memorizing it.

There are so many clubs and organizations. There's literally always something going on!

The Greeks on campus are so different from what I expected. I thought they would be like the Hollywood version: snobby and preppy. But everyone is really so nice and welcoming!

I never really feel insecure while I'm on campus, which says a lot. I'm a girl, and we've been taught since we were young to always be on alert, but I never feel threatened by anyone here.

Monmouth College is the best school I am attending. The reason why is because the other students are very friendly and the campus is small. The professor can actually help you out in one on one with any work I am having trouble with.

Have a open mind.

The classes are sometimes hard and usually they are fun!

The dorms are good and provide everything.

The food is excellent!

I go out with my friends and also go the gym.

I give Monmouth College a perfect score. The professors are willing to help you in any way they can. Everyone on campus has an amazing attitude.

Monmouth is what college is meant to be. It is an amazing learning environment.

Students in class are willing to help and there is a lot of hands on homework and labs. Instead of listening to lecture all day, professors try to get all students involved in class.

I love dorm life. All the dorm buildings are cleaned almost every day. You also form a bond with your neighbors.

There are plenty of food options. Monmouth college has the best food options that I have had over all colleges that I have visited.

There is always something to do on the weekends. Also student life brings in guest entertainment and guest speakers.

Majority of the student body is involvent in a club or an organization.

There is security constantly walking around campus. Security also offers a driving service if you feel unsafe walking around campus.

Monmouth is a prestigious liberal arts college in the MidWest. Many graduates go on to have jobs in competitive and well-paying fields.

Make sure to take a visit, or two - that was how I ultimately fell in love with Monmouth.

Classes are touch and challenging. They 100% value liberal arts and it shows through their curriculum.

You have to opportunity to move up in living as your progress through college. The dorms are generally well kept and provide for a nice atmosphere.

The cafeteria has a variety of options in buffet style. Times are decent. There are also a number of other places to eat on campus such as a sub shop, chinese, pasta, etc - though it is not generally very healthy, but they are taking measures to ensure that there are healthier options.

Monmouth is a small rural town surrounded by smaller rural towns but there is not shortage of things to do on and off campus and in surrounding towns such as Galesburg and Macomb.

Your money is well spent. You get the college experience and the education is phenomenal.

We have founders day, Homecoming is usual a big one for alumni and football game attendance.

There are a variety of clubs and activities for any interests at all from Big Brothers Big Sisters, to Anime Club, to clubs for political science students/those interested. No shortage of things to get involved in!

Greek life is prominent. I have many friends in sororities and fraternities. Monmouth College was actually the birthplace of 2 Greek sororities.

24 hours and very friendly!

I love the price.
I love the campus, because it is small and beautiful.
I enjoy my teachers and class-mates.

Visit the campus, If you are a hard working student- Monmouth have scholarships for you.

I like my schedule--there are tutors to help you if you need them, they also have all kind of work groups--for support.

I love the dorm life, we have many dorm buildings to fit any-one's preference.

Love the food and dining area- they even have an organic menu- for those who eat healthier.

They have tons of activities, sports, and groups to join.

The tuition is high- but they have tons of scholarships. They even have a Bag-Pipe, scholarship.

They celebrate St Patrick's day- they even have a green Monmouth shirt- among other school colors.

All types- that are serious about their education.

Tons.

They have a great selection--that are tops in their community service activities.

We have our own police-it is a small friendly college.

monmouth college is an intimate, private liberal arts college with a friendly and knowledgeable faculty. although it is located in a rural town, there are plenty of activities available on and off campus if you are willing to look and get involved. monmouth college is really what college was meant to be.

ask as many questions as possible! don't be afraid to ask and inquire about what matters most to you. it is your future and education and it is up to you to make it all count.

the curriculum is challenging but manageable if you stay on top and don't procrastinate.

i personally have not stayed on campus so cannot give an in depth opinion of the dorm life at monmouth college. i have seen the inside of several dormitories and they seem fairly spacious and kept clean and comfortably livable.

i don't eat in the cafeteria daily, but they do have quite a variety of food options for most all types of diets. they have started up implementing locally grown, organic produce from the monmouth college educational garden. there is also an einstein brothers cafe locate on campus that has amazing bagels.

there are tons of campus activities each week on campus. there are also recreational sports, organizations and clubs to join.

monmouth college has financial aid for almost anyone wishing to attend. they are willing to help and work with students to ensure continual attendance at monmouth. monmouth college doesn't want the financial aspect of college to be the reason you don't attend.

there are more clubs and activities than i can list on here. there is almost always something happening on campus each weekend. there are organizations for everyone; from sports and fitness clubs to honor societies and academic clubs.

i am not personally associated with any fraternities or sororities on campus. there are several options for anyone considering joining and the organizations seem to have strong ties between members.

i have never felt unsafe or concerned about my safety on campus. i am not usually on campus at night, but when i have been, i have felt safe.

The teachers are great and you learn a lot.

Monmouth College is truly what college was meant to be.

They provide good financial aid.

Join as many clubs as you can and participate in programs.

Learners, Intellectual,

An amazing and extrodinarily friendly college. The atmosphere is no-nonsense, and everyone is there to learn. The staff is extremely supportive, and will work miracles for you to attend!

Apply early, and make sure the staff knows you by name. The more you put out, the more you receive.

The main mission of Monmouth is Academic excellence. Everything else is a perk, but youre there to learn.

The Mood is pretty normal, and respectful. No rowdy frat parties, or crazy events of destructiveness.

The food is fresh, healthy, and for the major eaters, in quanity. The meal plans cater to most students needs.

The athletics are excellent, theres almost any sport you can think of. The amount of student clubs is extensive, and if you dont find a club you like, you can get permission to make new one!

The Greek life is for those who want a challenging college experience. Theyre geared toward academia and excellence.

The Campus is very safe, and they even post the official police records on the college web site.
