<p>I don't see Monmouth listed in your College List. What can anyone tell me about Monmouth....good or bad.</p>
<p>We looked at this school with our older son about 4 years ago. I liked the small classes, and the campus. I did not like the fact that they seemed to have a housing shortage. After freshman year you might need off campus housing. This would require a car. It is also near the beach and NJ so I think that off campus housing is fairly pricey. They offer some nice merit aid, but I felt that there would be car and auto insurance, plus off campus housing needed so that would take away the benefit of the merit aid. My son never even applied.</p>
<p>As a NJ native, I can tell you that the reputation of the school was that it was where people with money sent their kids when they couldn't get into anywhere else. The one Monmouth University grad I know certainly seemed to fit that mold. I have been out of state since 2003 so their reputation may have improved, but you can get a much better education for the same amount of money at other places.</p>
