Super Brilliant
I did 4 years in this place. I learned a whole lot about the world, learned about dating, learned about drugs, but learned little about much else.

Seriously folks, being that this school is in "da Bronx" you will see more coke, pot, and other assorted drugs in your dorm rooms then you could ever want to.

It took me nearly 8 years after graduation to get my life back together again. The faculty KNEW we were all on drugs and did nothing about it.. never offered help.

In my senior year I moved off campus, and was asked by the nun that ran the place at the time WHY I was moving off.

The reason? The school became a hell I felt trapped in.

I ended up OK in the world, but trust me folks, this school can take nice normal people, TEAR their souls out, and swallow them whole.

BEWARE.

If you are not a U.S. citizen I would not recommend this school for any foreign students. They do not have an international student office. They are incompetent in properly handling student affairs as far as immigration matters. I have a friend that went there and has been experiencing hell because of thier incompetence in handling the paper work. They essentially made a mess of paperwork which had an adverse effects in terms of job prospects- No job, no work experience, no money . On top of that the incompetent individual refused to be accountable for the mistake.....I wonder if it was a deliberate act....hmmmmm.You are better off at Manhattan College. They actually have an international student office with competent employees on these matters.

The college has the opportunites there for you to reach high levels. You need to take the time and make sure you use all the things offered in and out of the class on and off campus.

Okay, the first day I got to this school I swore that the first chance that I got I would get online and write a review. I almost didn't come here because of the bullshit that people wrote on this website. Most of it, if not all is untrue.

I know the schools say that they are "deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition" but they really aren't so much so. Our art teacher, just this week, threw out the notion that maybe we evolved that that god never happened. It's really liberal, despite the nuns that call this college their residence.

The campus is beautiful. You would never expect to find a more beautiful place so near to the city. It sits on the hudson and from your classsroom you either get a beautiful view of the water or the trees that decorate the campus. The campus, itself, is just charming. Just walking through the entrance is amazing.

There is a lot about this school that goes unmentioned. The students are great. The seniors treat the freshmen like siblings. You don't have to be great at a sport or any club for that matter. If you want to get involved, no problem. Everyone is willing to accomodate you. It's really amazing and they don't judge you.

So please, if you can, come visit the school and keep in mind that though the experiences of most the people on here might be true, it's more likley that someone will write out of hate than adoration.

That isn't to say that we don't have our problems. A toilet in our bathroom has been runing for a week now, but those things don't matter all that much. The people and the quality of education make this school worth it. You just have to give it a chance.
