I'm a first semester Freshmen at Iona College, and I'm miserable. This school is run like a grade school. I will say there are some good Professors, but shouldn't there be when you are paying close to $50,000.

I chose Iona College due to its proximity to NYC, and I wanted a small school, and Iona's campus is nice. So after touring, I decided to enroll at Iona College - A BIG MISTAKE.

To reiterate what other posters wrote - Iona has NO social life, that college life is boring, and the atmosphere around campus is very cold - it's not a welcoming community.

The tutoring center is dark - and in a cold building - and there wasn't any tutors available the few times I went for help - in the subjects I needed support with.

Most of my Professors are Adjuncts - part-time - so they leave campus after class - and some of my classes have 35 students.

Professors have to tell students to put their cell phones away, turn them off; like high school, and Iona doesn't even rank.

I enrolled in College for a College Life Exeperience - attending Iona is like attending a Grammary School. The President cares about Athletics and building Dorms -that's about it.

The facilities are not updated, computers are left broken, keyboards are black with dirt, in many labs - printers are down.

Iona is a money making racket - and I refuse to give anymore of my money to them. My parents work way too hard.

I can attend a community college - great teachers - and facilites for a Third of the Cost.

My advice -is don't go into student debt to attend Iona. It's not worth it. If you are going to spend $50,000 to attend a college - make it a college that has a high ranking, affordable, -and when you put your degree, from that school, on your resume, EMPLOYERS WILL NOTICE.

Iona is so lowly ranked, Employers will put you at the bottom of the heap.

I'm transferring to a Community College in the Spring. Most likely, I will complete my Associate's Degree, and then transfer to a 4-year highly ranked and affordable school. Next college, I will spend days, attending classes, asking for statistics - graduation rates, retentions rates, job employment rates, where? salaries?

I won't be naive the next time around - I want the best value for my money. I wouldn't pay $50,000 for a second hand car.
