Monmouth University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Monmouth University is a private university located in West Long Branch, New Jersey.

Founded in 1933 as Monmouth Junior College, it became Monmouth College in 1956, and later Monmouth University in 1995 after receiving its charter.

There are about 4,300 full-time and 444 part-time undergraduate and 1,750 graduate students, as well as 251 full-time faculty members. About 73% of faculty members hold Ph.D.s or other terminal degrees in their field of study. The university's student-to-faculty ratio is about 15:1. Because of the university's relatively small student population, class sizes are capped between 20 and 35 and no classes are taught by teaching assistants. 44% of students live on-campus.

History

Monmouth College was founded in 1933 as a junior college. On January 181956, Monmouth received accreditation to grant four-year Bachelor's degrees, and in March 1995, it received its university charter from the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education.

Campus

The centerpiece of the Monmouth University campus is Wilson Hall. Originally, it was the site of the Shadow Lawn mansion, constructed in 1903 and housed 52 rooms. United States President Woodrow Wilson stayed in the mansion during his campaign in summer of 1916.

After Shadow Lawn was destroyed by a fire in 1927, the building that would become Wilson Hall was built as a residence for Mr & Mrs. Hubert Templeton Parson. Mr. Parson was the former head of F.W. Woolworth Company. The building was designed by Horace Trumbauer and Julian Abele. Abele is regarded as the first professional African American architect.

Wilson Hall became municipal property during the Great Depression and until Monmouth University acquired ownership, it was home to a private girls' school. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark. Some classrooms and the administrative offices are inside of the building. In 1980, Wilson Hall was used as Daddy Warbucks' mansion in the film version of Annie.

If you mean Monmouth University in Illinois, it outranks both Temple and Rutgers in Forbes "America's Best Colleges." (August 2008) In that report, Forbes ranks 569 undergraduate institutions based on the quality of the education they provide, and how much their students achieve. Momouth ranked 296, whereas Rutgers and Temple ranked 523 and 546 respectively. If you mean, instead, Monmouth University in New Jersey, the Princeton Review now considers it to be one of the best colleges in the country (see the Princeton Review's 2009 edition of The Best 368 Colleges [Random House/Princeton Review, July 29, 2008]) Only 15% of America's (including a few of Canada's) 4-year colleges appear in the book, and all of them were chosen on the basis of outstanding academics.

I know a couple of people who are there and it generally gets positive reviews. One of the students that I know does not live on campus, but commutes and she has no complaints about it. Another friend of mine has a daughter who transferred there and had some roommate issues her first year, but they were eventually resolved. The area is very nice, you are near the shore, which is a plus and the school generally seems to have a good reputation.

Monmouth is located in Eastern NJ, about an hour from NYC and almost within walking distance to the beach. The beaches might not be the best of those along the Jersey shore, but they'll do, and the Sandy Hook National Seaside Park is closeby (you can always take a train or a bus to get to some of the best beaches). The temperatures in September and even in October are very mild, frequently hot, and swimming is definitely an option (the Atlantic is at it's warmest in September). The daffodils will start blooming in late March, and we always headed to the beach (from Rutger's) for the first time in April. It's cold from December through February, and the amount of snowfall varies a lot from year to year. Monmouth is a good school, small enough that you aren't just a number. As is the case with all universities, what you get out of your education depends on what you put in. As for the admissions standards, I suggest you check out their website. The link is below.

I go to Monmouth...it's ranked 45 in US News and World Report, which isn't that great, but I transferred from one of the top 3 schools in those same rankings, and I feel like I'm learning a lot more at Monmouth than I did at my other college. Basically, it's about how much you apply yourself. I know people who make the Dean's List and I know people who drop like half their classes, so yeah, I think it's a good school if you want to do the work, but you can totally get away with doing badly also. I'm not sure if they communicate with Monmouth Medical Center, but I'm sure you could find out on the website.

my brother goes to monmouth and he loves it! theyre big on sports if youre into that, theres a lot of partying but you dont have to if youre not that type of person. the dorms are TINY though, cinderblock with one window, no AC...its a pretty school a mile from the shore. i dont know much about montclair so my opinion is obviously biased
