Monmouth College

I attended from 1967 – 1971. Beautiful campus, small, friendly, great faculty involvement with students.

Beautiful campus in the middle of nowhere, illinois.

The best four years of my life up until this point. I met my best friends, my incredible boyfriend, and learned a million things, both in my major and life in general.
Small college, great if you’re used to a small high school or small town. Everyone knows everyone here; that can be good or bad, depending on how you take it.
Bar scene is great for a small college town, plenty to choose from.
The Athletics Program is awesome, great place for runners, footballers, and softballers, for sure. But, any sport here has a strong foundation and long record of success.
The only downsides:
1) HUGE cost (not really their fault)…though, the financial aid department is very helpful
2) The career center does not know how to deal with science majors, unless you plan on going to grad or med school. Be prepared to do some after-​college searching on your own. Not really a big deal, science folk are self starters.

I love this school! I only went there for one year 2004 – 2005.
It’s very small and everyone will know your name but hey it makes for an interesting time.
Since the campus is small you dont have to walk blocks to get to class. But be careful in the winter for ice, its a bit hilly on campus. And beautiful in the fall.
I lived in Fulton and I think it was the best freshman building there.
The downside is that there is only a Shopko for your dept. store needs and Country Market for groc. needs. Micky d’s & Subway for fast food. Other than that you have to catch a ride to Galesburg.
