Attending Monroe College from 2016 to 2019 was one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have ever done. This was my third attempt at earning my bachelor's degree, and Monroe made it possible. I attended night classes and Saturdays at the Bronx campus while working full time and raising two children — it was not easy, but Monroe's schedule was built for people like me. The flexibility they offer for adult learners is real, not just a selling point.
The professors were understanding and made sure... Read More we truly grasped the material, not just memorized it for a test. The faculty understood that students in the evening program had lives outside of school, and they respected that. The staff was also there to listen to any personal issues that came up that could interfere with attendance, and they would do everything in their power to help you stay on track and make it to graduation.
I pushed through every exhausted night because I wanted to show my kids that no matter how many times you stumble, you finish what you start. Monroe gave me the structure and support I needed to cross that finish line finally. If you are a working adult who has stopped and started college before, do not count yourself out — Monroe College is designed for you.

Monroe College offers a variety of majors for an affordable cost compared to most private colleges. I was able to graduate with my Bachelors Degree in Science of Public Health in 3 years, fully covered by grants & scholarships. The professors were respectful, offered help, and for the most part were able to teach their courses correctly. College advisors were helpful in finding the right courses for me and offering opportunities for work study, networking, post-graduate events, etc. The scheduling... Read More for the courses was very flexible, allowing me to work a full time job while attending. Monroe also has an internship requirement for graduation, leaving all students with something to have on their resume. Monroe has a cafeteria and a solid transportation system used to travel from the New Rochelle Campus and Bronx Campus. The areas for using Computers and doing work were always clean and quiet, allowing me to get my work done all the time. Due to COVID 19, I was able to experience the online version of Monroe and it helped my GPA a lot. Many of the courses had recordings of the class, so I was able to review material at any point in the semester. Also, being remote helped me focus on the professor/board and not get distracted by classmates. However, the curriculum was low level from my experience. Highschool was a lot harder for me but this is all subjective, some students might struggle with what I found easy. A majority of the content taught in my field is on quizlet, making it really easy to remember for exams. The only thing I found difficult was the Papers because they had long page requirements and a short amount of time to complete them. Overall, Monroe College is a great choice for people looking for a solid higher education at an affordable cost. I have not yet started my career but I believe Monroe has prepared me enough to be qualified for some entry level positions.

Monroe College was very repeatable with a variety of students and professors from different parts of life. The college had all the recourse possible to make the journey a smooth one. The professors insure that you are very successful at the end of your journey. Everyday I walked on campus knowing that I was apart of something bigger than me and had all the professors in my corner waiting to help if needed.
