Iona College

Thank you. I just purchased a copy of the August, Money Magazine, and I went online to get the rating for Iona. It was around 284. Most of Iona's competitors, in the MAAC ranked so much higher, (Manhattan College, ranked in the top 50, Fairfield was highly ranked, and Sienna and Marist ranked so much higher than Iona. What concerned me is Iona's graduation rate is only 63 percent. That means almost 40 percent of Iona's students drop-out or withdraw. That's a terrible rating, and the debt of students that stay at Iona is around $60,000. What a disgrace? Iona College is close to all the Metro areas, and should be on the top of the list, but Iona's administration is backwards, and only care about their money, the outside-campus facilities, and not getting students jobs, internships, and paying professors what they are worth.

After this report, I won't be returning to Iona College. I will enroll at a community college and get value for my investment, and I will transfer to a college that affords students with the opportunity to obtain good paying jobs.

The administration at Iona College, better wake up, before Iona falls further down the list. Why pay high tuition for a school that has a 63 percent graduation rate? If I received a score of 63% on an exam, that's failing, so to me, Iona is failing their students, alums, and parents.

My parents and I work way to hard to pay tuition at Iona, to be ranked so low on Money's list.
