I'm thinking of applying to Monmouth University and wonder what it's like academically and socially. Is it a good place for a balance of both? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Monmouth University is known for its commitment to transforming the lives of its students by providing a real-world, experiential education that prepares them for successful careers and satisfying lives. The small class sizes (with a student-to-faculty ratio of approximately 12:1) and the career-focused curriculum truly helps students build both academic and professional competence.
Monmouth offers more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, with particular strengths in business, education, communication, and nursing. The school has a robust internship program, well-connected to the local business community given its convenient proximity to New York City and Philadelphia.
On the social front, life at Monmouth is quite vibrant. There are over 100 clubs and organizations for students to join, ranging from Greek life to volunteer opportunities, special interest clubs, and sports. With a student enrollment of around 6,200 students, there's a well-balanced active yet intimate feel on campus.
The beautiful seaside campus adds a unique charm to social life at Monmouth. The university is situated just a mile from the Jersey Shore, providing students with an idyllic coastal experience.
Of course, every student’s experience will be unique, and while many find Monmouth to be a good fit, it could also be a good idea for you to visit, if possible, or interact with past and current students to get a more individualized sense of life at the university.
