Senior: I love the staff and faculty at Wilkes University! They are so supportive of the students and their first priority really is student well-being. Everyone on campus, students and faculty/staff alike, are invested and engaged in the campus atmosphere to make the community welcoming and fun. My classes are intellectually stimulating and the professors are willing to support the students in any way that they can. Campus life keeps me active and rarely do I fend myself bored with nothing to do. After the first week on campus, it's easy to see that the faces around you quickly become familiar. Wilkes University is a home away from home due to the active student life and activities, but it as also a place to grow your academic career with diligent faculty to support you through your journey....

Alum: I am a Marywood graduate & also blessed to work here. My work for the past 30+ years has been gratifying in many ways, but I want to review Marywood based on my student experience + what I observe about our current students. You will not find a more friendly, welcoming campus than Marywood. You are encouraged to learn and train in your major, but also to experience classes that broaden your mind, deepen your perspective, and open you to new experiences. You get a strong education and practical experience to obtain a job in your field, but also can discuss meaningful topics beyond your field. A Marywood education affords one a versatilie skill set that is especially needed in today's changing workforce landscape. Our students are happy, community-oriented people who love to have fun and serve others. My own love for serving others started here. Marywood has many benefits of a large university, but in a small school setting. Best of both worlds on a beautiful campus!... Read 598 reviews

Senior: Misericordia has felt like home since the first time I stepped on campus when I was getting recruited to play softball. Since I started at MU in the Fall of 2019, I have since seen the university make state of the art improvements including the gorgeous Henry Science Center where I attend labs, classes, study group sessions, and more. One of my favorite parts about being a student-athlete at Mis is the comradery among the student body and the devotion to service. One of my favorite volunteer opportunities was going to Patriot's Cove which is an organization that was founded by a military veteran and his spouse to empower other veterans, first responders, and their caregivers to heal and adapt to life after service. On campus, Campus Life constantly puts on events to keep students engaged such as Halloween Scavenger Hunts, Christmas Dinner, Midnight Breakfast during finals week, and numerous Welcome Week Activities to make everyone feel at home. I met some of my best friends at Mis!... Read 608 reviews

Sophomore: I absolutely loved the gorgeous campus and the kind people the greeted me on this campus! The education is very high quality, and the dorms are so welcoming to new students. Each building is unique and the view is amazing since we are in the mountains. They offer many great majors that are Christ-focused and prepares the students to server Christ with a Biblical mindset, not matter your major. One thing I would say they could change is the lack of storage on campus as there are many out-of-state students who have to make ends meet elsewhere. Overall it is a great school and a great community!... Read 222 reviews
