PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE APPLYING TO THIS SCHOOLI attended the biology program as a transfer student and it was the worst mistake of my life. Marymount Manhattan puts up this facade that their small class size sets them apart from any other college in the city. Let me be clear: this school has more downfalls than advantages. This school requires their students to take general education courses as a freshman and then again at junior and senior levels. I was a biology major taking dance, film and painting during my junior year. Just another ploy to make more money.I was told by an advisor that I would have to graduate a year late to take one single class in spring semester that was only offered every other year. If a class is mandatory for graduation, it should be offered every year. The shortage of staff to teach classes sets an automatic disadvantage for students. How can they expect a student to return to one of the most expensive cities in the world to take one single class?The adjunct faculty is laughable. I took a painting class and had to buy everything out of pocket. I do not come from money as most students at this school and was told by my professor that my brushes were too cheap. The courses from this college are impossible to transfer as they are considered a joke at even community colleges.As a freshman my friend failed her first biology exam. Normal, not everyone is able to adjust to a college style exam right away. She immediately went to see her professor about improving her grade and she was told to change her major and her aspirations to go into medicine over her first ever college exam. Is that pushing your students to be successful?Maybe the BFA programs are better, but I have only heard negative aspects about them as well. The majority of my anatomy class was failing and nothing was done by the staff to improve lessons regardless of the countless complaints by students.The graduation rate is laughable. The advisor and bursar offices are laughable. They are quick to take your money for a transcript but never send it out. There is so much more to say about this college but it cannot be done in a single review.Please do your due diligence before committing to this school. Countless people can tell you the many other options in the city you can choose from.

I transferred here from a big state school and after taking a gap year. As a marketing major in a primarily performing arts focused school, I sometimes feel like not enough attention is given to the business department, but the small class sizes and very focused attention given to each student in the school makes Marymount, in my eyes, a very great institution. This school has been very good to me and I have met a lot of awesome people and am currently working with the career offices to secure an awesome internship for the summer. The individualized attention that each student gets here is only awarded to this who strive for it, and unfortunately there students at Marymount who dont really try and attempt to get over on the faculty because its a private school. But if your looking for a small school in the center of NYC, I highly recommend Marymount.

This is a fantastic school for anyone with passion in the arts. Welcoming, fun, beautiful, fantastic professors. Transferred here from hunter, best decision of my life thus far. So grateful to attend such a university. Small classes so you get the education you deserve.

From the moment you walk into Marymount Manhattan College, you automatically feel at home and like you belong there. My time at this school thus far has been wonderful and I would not trade my experiences here for anything in the world. I highly recommend this school to all.

I received three evening robo-fundraising calls within a week that began with the robo-caller saying not to worry, they were just calling to see how my child is enjoying the school.After that, it became a fundraising pitch.If they want to see how my child is doing, they can ask my child.Three calls, all in the evening, within one week, and with a deceptive script.Marymount Manhattan may be a fine school, but their fundraising tactics are sleazy, and the first one alarmed me a great deal.

The building is relatively clean, and has a starbucks and multiple vending machine in side. Rented out a lot on the weekend to Kaplan and other test prep which can lead to confusion.
