Monmouth University Top Questions

Above all else, they know when to have fun and when to get to work.

Classmates are diverse, very nice, and very helpful; Monmouth is a perfect-sized school that you feel welcome at.

The student body tends to be the children of fairly well-off metropolitan NY families. Even so, most kids can find a good degree of comfort at Monmouth. Most students are welcoming and supportive and friendships made at Monmouth go on for a lifetime. There are cliques to be sure but nothing out of the ordinary for most college campuses. Historically students have had less interest about the world beyond the East Coast of the United States but that appears to have changes a great deal in the last 10 years. There is now more of a international outreach and MU's Institute for Global Understanding has energized undergrads.

My classmates varied from some of my very closest friends to this day to friendly acquaintances.

My classmates seem earger to learn and enjoy themselves in and ou of the class room.

My class mates are diverse and come rom all types of backrounds. Most are from around the state of New Jersery and wanted to get out of their perents house to get the college experience but not go to far from home. Everyone is very friendly , outgoing, social, and willing to help. Eveyone here is focused on their futrue and gettign a good career. Their are lost of social events in which students gather to have a good time. I have met people at Monmouth that I will network with the most of my life.

Fun

My classmates are focused, ethnically diverse, kind, helpful, rather small in numbers due to small classroom sizes, driven, motivated, group of people who never hesitate to ask questions and advance their learning by way of research and personal commitment.

Wonderful, all the students are very friendly as well as the teachers too. The classroom sizes are perfect to were you can make new friends and the teacher still knows everyones name.

The majority of Monmouth students are white, middle class. While there is representation from some minorities, it's not extremely noticable. The majority of students are from North Jersey/New York and fit the typical "guido" stereotype. While a lot of the students are casual around campus, there are several who treat each day like a fashion show. I think that most of the student body at Monmouth is liberal, and there are different political events throughout the year, however, few people attend. Greek Life is prevelent. I think that students from the immediate local area (such as myself) would tend to feel uncomfortable there. It's a little strange for a Jersey Shore local to feel as though they've been thrust into Staten Island...

Most students are from New Jersey and most have money, being as Monmouth is a private school. The atmosphere is very casual though; most kids wear sweatshirts and sweatpants to class. There's a whole array of people and its always interesting to see who is hanging out with who. Most people are really nice and friendly, especially your first year because everyone just wants to meet everyone and make friends. I met a lot of amazing people my first year, and was still meeting new people until the last day of school so its really not an issue to find people who you like to hang out with.

I dont think anyone would feel out of place at monmouth. There is something weird though, a select group of people tend to get VERY dressed up for class, and not like business dressed like heels and a dress. I on the other hand end up going in sweats sometimes. I think that many different types of people become friends from going to any school including Monmouth. Most students that come to Monmouth I feel like are from usually NJ and a lot of times within like 1/2 hr to 1 hr away. I think anyone can feel comfortable at Monmouth. And not everyone that comes here comes from Money. There are a handful of people that come here because their parents work here and they are able to attend for free.

Get into Greek Life or a sport very important at Monmouth

Most of the students are from New Jersey and the tri-state area. There are a few students from California and different countries too. The school is a private school so it is expensive to attend, but scholarships and financial aid help to bring different socioeconomic and finacial backgrounds to the school. The school is not known for being diverse (esp. compared to a school like Rutgers), but they are trying to make it more diverse. Everyone can fit in at Monmouth and there are various clubs and activities that accomodate different races, ethnicities, religious views, and sexual orientations. Everyone seems to get along around campus.

There is a good blend of people at monmouth. No one really dresses up for class. Its pretty laid back. The dining halls food is bangin.

Monmouth's student body is wonderful. Everyone is so outgoing and well-rounded. I made so my unbelievible friends this past year its amazing. I feel that these are all friends that i'm going to kepp for the rest of my life.

Walked onto monmouth campus day 1 freshman year. first question i was asked "so what sport do oyu play?" (im black, so I get that alot but have learned to deal with it). Yea, I think Monmouth Campus can be a little bit racist. It's so separated at monmouth. It's athletes (and even that is broken down further--football players; black and white then it's baseball- then don't seem to like blacks too much then it's track-where everyone gets along just fine, then it's sorority girls (and even they can't stand each other-- d phi e doesn't like theta phi alpha because one claims to be hotter than the other) it's ridiculous and the fraternity boys, they're guys, they all seem to get along pretty well, then it's the social outcasts, black kids sit together spanish kids sit together, then it's everyone else. Why does any of this matter? I don't know.

Students often dress up for class. Many students are from NJ.

The student body is primarily located throughout NJ
