Mount Vernon Nazarene University Reviews
Rating 3.59 out of 5 568 reviews
Overall, my experience has been decent. The academic side of MVNU is wonderful. The classes are usually small (think under 25 people) and the professors are very passionate and knowledgeable about what they teach. However, it's everything else that is just ok. The dorms are actually pretty nice, but the apartments are not as good. They cram 6 people in an apartment, and they are small. They have little closet space and "dressers" that are just a nightstand with a few plastic tubs. A lot of the wood is scratched and worn, very unappealing. The rules are very strict. They say the campus is Nazarene but everyone is welcome, but I've felt that Nazarene's are favored and everyone must live with Nazarene rules, even if you believe otherwise. Sometimes it feels like a big church camp. If that's your thing, you'll love this school. The only reason I'm staying here is because of the academics, and also that credits don't transfer to other schools easily.
I have loved my experience at Mount Vernon Nazarene University. This University makes you feel like family from the first moment that you step on campus. It is an amazing and supportive environment. I have made many new friends, the classes are amazing, and the professors are willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed. The only downside to the school is that it is expensive. Even with some scholarships, grants, and loans, I still struggle to afford it. MVNU is my dream school and has been my dream school for many years. Being able to attend MVNU has been the opportunity of a lifetime, I just wish that it was more affordable.
Mount Vernon Nazarene University is a great school for a variety of majors. The education program is definitely well-rounded and I feel prepared for the education field upon graduation. The advisors are available by phone and email, rather quickly, and if they aren't available right away, they're able to get back to you within a day, usually, which has been incredibly helpful in trying to figure out academics, scheduling, necessary graduation requirements, and financial aid. The online undergrad program is the best choice for working adults and students that have their own families, because almost everything is online and you don't get more than 2 classes at a time most semesters, so you can really focus on specific courses as you go. The only improvement I would suggest would be to have more involvement of adult program students with traditional undergrad program events and special services (so that the adult students actually feel like they are part of the university's program).
