Molloy University (MU)

Black Pinpoint 1000 Hempstead Avenue | Rockville Centre, NY | 11570

01. Overview

What the school is known for:

Although it is true that Molloy College, a private institution in Long Island, is “affordable” and “community oriented,” students are also strongly drawn to the school’s “great reputation in the field of nursing” as well as “amazing education program.” For business majors, the Business Honors Program features “faculty members [who] are former CEO’s and Wall Street Executives.” Students point out that “Molloy is an institution that is growing in size but has not lost any of its small school charm.” Contributing to that charm are Molloy’s “small student to teacher ratio,” “a relaxed and comfortable environment to learn,” and “personalized service centered around students.” Another of the school’s assets is the high caliber of its “extremely caring” and “truly knowledgeable and passionate” professors who are “very dedicated in helping the students reach their maximum potential.” One student raves, “My professors have real world experience and provide valuable networking capabilities.”

06. Student Body

What students say:

Although the “majority of the people commute” at Molloy, this does not seem to detract from the sense of a “very tight knit community” and “friendly environment.” At Molloy “Working parents fit in well and we have a very culturally diverse campus.” Many students at the commuter school may also fit the description of “a hard-working Long Island kid, juggling school and work and a life.” While it seems that “majors mostly stick together,” students proclaim that “All the students here are extremely friendly” and that “Students are accepted here with whatever they bring to the table.” Even though “a lot of people tend to go to class, study or hang out on campus and then go home,” students note that “there are always opportunities to meet new people at events, clubs, or through mutual friends if you stick around after classes.”

08. Campus Life

What students say:

As a largely commuter school, there’s a sense at Molloy that “there isn’t really any college life there.” Students point out that “Life in school is very basic if you are not involved in a team or club.” According to one student, “Since many people commute to and from campus, the party scene tends to be at the sports houses and clubs in the surrounding towns.” This social dynamic may change with the addition of “new dorms that house about 200 students.” Another game changer is the new “student center known as the public square.” “Right now, a simulation room is being installed in the Public Square so that students can play video games on their free time on campus.” Until that day arrives, there are “book sales, holiday galas, special dinners, clubs of all kinds, sports, art events, presentations at the new theater, and…a variety of community services” that can keep students entertained. Students also attend rugby or basketball games and take advantage of the “free shuttle that goes to the mall and back on weekends if you live on campus.”
