I was looking to advance my knowledge in the acct field by pursuing a MBA in ACCT at Iona College. What I came out with is what I went in with, nothing. I can not tell you 3 things that I was taught that will help me advance my career. To top it off I now owe 70k in student loans and for what. I tried several times to talk to the Dean about my concerns and he took weeks to return my phone calls and when I did see him he completley brushed me off. The courses are not difficult, you could sleep walk through the assignments and get a B+. I would not advise anyone to attend this school. Something needs to be done, our voices need to be heard. How do you fight something that is so much bigger than one person. Very sad.. Best of luck to all. May 02 2012 Accounting

Since I was a kid, the old joke about IONA was that it stands for Idiots of North Avenue. Having attended the school, I see where the joke comes from. I feel that IONA goes above and beyond the call of duty in keeping the joke?s truth alive. I feel this way and point to the following conclusions I made through my experience as evidence. IONA?s administration rivals a 1970s New York City DMV in bureaucratic inefficiency. This alone should make the school worthy of the infamous alternate contents of the IONA acronym. Alas, there is more! They have a roster of teachers who create more problems in the classroom than BP did in the Gulf of Mexico. The environment is about as friendly to intellectuals as a Jersey Shore House Party hosted by Mike ?The Situation.? I find the overall atmosphere extremely unwelcoming. It feels like you walk in a stranger and walk out a stranger. I make tons of friends everywhere I go but I did not at IONA. Not one person. Students seem to coalesce into established cliques and act real smarmy and condescending or just plain cold towards outsiders. I remember one time I was early for a first class and there was another student in the room. I said hello and introduced myself. He ignored me as if no one was in the room. He even did this after I told him ?F___ you? as a response to his behavior. Like I said, I find the overall atmosphere extremely unwelcoming. I would describe the social scene at IONA as embarrassingly bad. The main social outlet seems to be mindless barhopping practiced by the cliquey student body. The college reeks of a putrid culture of alcoholic jocks with narrow-minded ?Father Knows Best? sensibilities. I also find the student body to be rabidly anti-intellectual. I see a severe lack of education in philosophy, economics, and political thought among the history students. The university is very right wing and you can find yourself the subject of contempt from many students for expressing views outside the Fox News mindset. I find that the teachers are often unreasonable and dealing with them can be a major nuisance. Even though some are friendly, they usually have quirks and lousy teaching abilities that destroy any redeeming quality that may bring. I have even heard teachers make mistakes on basic facts that I knew in High School. If I had all the thumbs in the world, I would arch them all towards the floor in a tidal wave of ?thumbs down? for IONA University. Nov 03 2010 History/Histories (art history/etc.)

I took two classes as a visiting student. the first class i had was awful. I did not head the warnings i had a terrible time the professor was GOD AWFUL. got a mediocre grade. tried to appeal it but the professor shot me down when i tried to appeal it on academic grounds bad professor bad class. Second class i took was with a much better professor who is approachable and friendly. however i am NOT going to complete my masters at IONA. My first class made me realize that this was not the school for me and i was also informed that the history masters program was geared towards school teachers, not some one like me who was wanting to possibly teach college part time in addition to my primary masters which was in library science which i have just about finished. this school was awful i do not recommend ANYONE going to this school.

I'm a graduate of Iona, a very bright individual, and I feel that I got a great education at Iona in comparison to some of the colleges my co-workers went to. I seem to be more knowledgable and more prepared than many of the others who just graduated. I praise Iona for that. The area is suburban and very nice (a wealthy area.) The places to eat in the food plan are endless. Not very diverse though. Mostly Italian and Irish students. Jan 28 2009 Business - Management and Administration
