Iona College

Date: Dec 31 1969
Major: Finance (This Major's Salary over time)
Iona College… THE GOOD: Accounting. If you plan on studying business I would highly advise you to double major with accounting. You will have a job if you do this because all of the big four take plenty of Iona students. The campus: It is charming in the fall.

The BAD: Students: Iona's acceptance rate is a pulse. If you consider yourself intelligent your feelings will be hurt when you go to class because 80% of your classmates will be on their phones or just be really dumb. There is no academic spirit in Iona, when a professor asks a question you will have silence because no one cares

Buildings: Most of the buildings on campus are old and falling apart. If a student is paying $50,000 to attend this university you would expect better infrastructure. However, if you don't get a scholarship or aid I would recommend you avoid coming here. It is not worth it. The new dorms are large and spacious. Also, the school's wifi is not that great.

Support: Iona's career services will respond and work with you. However, as others have said it isn't great. Not many large companies come to Iona's career fairs. Again speaking as a business student you will find Pepsi and IBM coming to campus. Which aren't bad, but no large banks come. The exit outcomes aren't great. Iona is not a brand name and if it wasn't a 30 min train ride into NYC or Stamford it would have gone under by now.

ME: To be transparent, I was a commuter student. I didn't want to be there, I didn't make an effort to get involved. However, a lot of other students who commuted felt the same way. I found a job after graduation, but that was through looking on my own.
