Colleen - 01/28/2020

The clubs are non existent, nobody stays on Campus over the weekends. There is not a lot to do ever. Stuck up city kids overpopulate the place. They lack a lot of common sense, and the school is super expensive. They don't help you very much money wise. Although, the American Sign Language Program here is AMAZING, and I stay here only for that reason.

Yara - 01/21/2020

Overall, My opinion of madonna university is that it is generally a good school. I have learned quite a bit from my teachers, my issues come with the campus. There is literally nothing to brag about. It feels like a regular high school building. As an atheist student I feel outcasted because somehow even the most scientific lectures turn religious. Also some people on campus can be quite judgmental. I have had a nun come up to me while I was walking with a backpack on ask me if I actually even go to the school...

Mackenzie - 10/15/2019

Madonna University is a clean campus that is centered around education. The nursing program at Madonna University is one of the best in the area. I believe that my education has expanded greatly since I started attending Madonna University. The faculty in the nursing program is outstanding. They truly do care about the success of their students and they are always accessible and available to answer questions. Madonna is a great school with a great opportunity to expand your education.

Jarius - 08/25/2019

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could Step through the doors of time to speak to my high school senior self, I would tell myself some useful advice. First would be to come out of her shell and speak to and get to know her college teachers. It’s much easier to ask questions and receive help from people you know. Also, if a teacher knows you, they may be able to better judge how hard you really are working. Next, I would tell myself to keep up the good work and begin thinking about making my own illustrated books from all of my previous ideas. It’s a good idea to start when you have more time and in high school I had a lot more time than now. I would have also told myself to apply for more than just one University so that I would have a better chance at fulfilling my dream. However, truthfully, I do not have very many regrets.

  12. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    Since I have attended the school for less than a year, I don't know what they are best known for. Some of their strong points in my estimation are the multiplicity of extra curricular programs that appear to be well organized and accomplishing the goals for student growth outside of strictly academic emphasis. Bulletin boards with photographs taken from such programs provide a visual summary of these achievements.
