Coming from a rural community, I loved the small-town atmosphere. It was easy to get to know people and the professors all really care not only about whether you get a quality, faith-based education, but also about your growth as an individual. I made lifelong friends and learned more about my faith and serving God. I have never regretted my decision to attend MVNU!
Mount Vernon Nazarene University (MVNU) is one of the best colleges to transfer into as a high school student thanks to the wonderful staff and faculty and students already there who make people feel welcome and feel at home. MVNU is a very small, community based university so therefore it is easy to get to know someone fast and there is a lot of support for someone to be there. Academically, MVNU challenged me in ways my high school education could not and it has transformed me into a smarter and quicker learner, writer, speaker, and thinker. MVNU also has taught me over 1 semester how to be self-reliant and independent as an adult which is a great lesson to have in life. They do not call this school "life-changing" for nothing!
Overall MVNU is not a bad school. I like almost all of the professors, they want you to succeed. They handle roommate issues awful. If you want to move rooms you have to talk to the RA AND the RD and they dont want to move you. They would rather sit down and have a big group therapy session and pray about it instead! Some people just are not compatible! Chapel is required and you get charged a hefty fine if you decide not to go. The food is awful. I understand that no college food is going to be great, but I opened up the bag of bagels and there was mold everywhere on them. There is nothing to do on campus on the weekends because everyone goes home. Freshman have a curfew of midnight. Opposite genders in the dorms is only two times a week from 8-12 and the door must be open to 90 degrees, lights on, no blankets, no laying down, need to be a good distance apart. You have a dress code (no leggings or short shorts).
