Marymount Manhattan College is unlike any other liberal arts school you are going to find in New York City. The reason for this and I believe the strength of the school is in it's size. MMC is very small and has a relatively small student body. You will never find yourself sitting in a class with 100+ students looking down at a professor trying to engage in the curriculum. Almost all of my classes have less then 20 people and we sit in circles and discuss every topic in the curriculum from International Studies courses to Theater courses. There is a real community bond. I hate to compare the experience to High School but there is a sense that this is a place where you could know everyone. You say "HI" to everyone in the halls and professors know your name and greet you. There are only two buildings to navigate and you get everything you need under these two roofs. It's just a really amazing environment to be in for undergrad. I have a friend at Columbia and he often mentions feeling "lost" and "alone" in a school with so many people. He has said he doesn't hardly know anyone in his giant classes. That doesn't happen at Marymount. By the end of the semester I typically know everyone in my class. It's a really proactive work environment. A perfect place to get an undergraduate degree in Liberal Arts, right in the heart of America's biggest city. It's very exciting!
