McDaniel has had a lot of circumstances with students and the community that have challenge the campus, but the college preserved, persevered, and stayed strong! McDaniel truly cares for their students and give the students a lot of opportunities to succeed.
McDaniel College is a private liberal arts college founded in 1867 as Western Maryland College.McDaniel College is nationally recognized for our educational excellence and the transformative nature of our academic program, which is centered around the McDaniel Commitment. In the US news and worldwide reports it's the best value schools in 2022 and best regional university in the North. More to that McDaniel college has a welcoming environment and conducive environment for learning.
McDaniel is a small school, perfect if you are looking for more directed education. Class sizes are a good size and professors usually know your name. The dining options could be better as there is only on hall and a pub that isn’t even open the hours they say. In the dining hall it is basic college food but could be better for the money we pay. Very easy to make friends here especially with the first year seminar class because you start off doing everything with them. The professors are all very friendly and welcoming and care to learn about each student. All faculty is very helpful.
