    I think that overall MUC is a good value for the education that you receive. As with all colleges,…read moresome departments are better than others as far as faculty members and quality of education go so it definitely pays to talk to current and former students that are/were in the programs in which you are interested. That being said, my experience there was largely positive. One of the main advantages of this school is the variety of activities in which you can participate, a possibility that often doesn't exist at larger schools. For example, I was able to play soccer, be a radio DJ, act in some plays and get involved in student gov't...all activities that I think would've been much more difficult to get into had I attended a large school and not been in the theater program, for example. Class size is another benefit. I know the school has grown in recent years so I'm not sure of the current student/professor ratio but when I was there many of my classes only had 10 students in them and the professors were often available for consultation. There are some fantastic volunteer programs offered by the chaplin's office such as the spring break work programs. I found these experiences extremely worthwhile. In addition, there are some great classes offered by the psychology department and open to anyone. One of my faves is a group dynamics course in which you do a group hike through the Adirondack Mountains before school starts and then participate in a class to discuss the experience. The psych dept. also offers a social responsibility class that culminates in a service project trip, generally somewhere in Central America. I would recommend both these programs to anyone as they are both excellent. Despite the fact that OH is largely not diverse, I think that the school does a decent job of attracting diversity through sister school programs and recruitment of foreign students as well as domestic scholarships. Diversity is the first step but I think that there is some improvement that could me made on the multicultural education front so that students get exposed to cultures other than their own. The opportunites for this are there and I took advantage of them, but I think that it should be a larger part of the regular curriculum. One of the downsides of this school is its location. Alliance, OH isn't the best town in the world as far as social options go. However, I can truly say that I never spent a boring night at MUC. The student activities council does a decent job of sponsoring events and I always adhered to my mom's classic mantra of "sometimes you have to make your own fun". If you aren't having fun, you might want to open yourself to the possibility that you are a boring person. Maybe you could dye your hair or something to make yourself more interesting? You can go through your 4 years at MUC and just emerge with a bachelor's degree if that's what you want and I know plenty of people who did just this; but the options are there to make your 4 (or more) years a much richer and satisfying experience.

I was from out of state so i did not have the Ohio background of most people who attended the school however it was an easy place to fit in and get involved on campus. The departments are all rather different in how they operate, however my department, the Poly Sci, was a department that worked well together and had a strong group of potential advisors. Other departments on campus were more willing to let their students figure things out for themselves which resulted in some students failing or not graduating on time. The small class sizes and the education available were very strong at the campus however that is not the only reason people go to college. Overall there are many activities that students can get involved in and i do believe there is something for everything. It also never hurts to have a winning football team. This school should be a serious consideration for anyone in the area.

The Weekend College (WEC) at Hiram is a fantastic program for working adults that has courses every other weekend for 7 weekends and then a 3 week session for three Saturdays in a row. They have a broad range of degree programs available for the WEC students, including the all-important business programs. The administration of the WEC is really what makes the program phenomenal. I don't feel like I'm trying to figure out a foreign language when I'm registering for classes, and the advisors ACTUALLY advise about the courses you need to take. Even better, unlike my previous college, I'm not getting assigned to a new advisor several times a semester. To be perfectly honest, on my first visit to Hiram before I had enrolled, I was in tears (of joy). No one in the university setting in administration has EVER taken the time to get to know me, much less was interested in HELPING me accomplish my educational goals. I was floored and felt at home from the first day I set foot in the WEC office. I'm an Accounting and Financial Management major, so most of my experience with the courses there are within that program. I have taken several courses outside of my major (Gen.Ed requirements) and all of them have been phenomenal. The professors are responsive and interested in furthering your career, not just teaching a class every other weekend. I have had two professors that I don't particularly care for, but everyone else seemed happy with them. The exceptionally nice part is that you're in small classes with fellow students who actually care about their education, and they are actually interested in getting to know one another. Because most of us are working adults, class discussions are actually valuable since their experiences aren't limited to frat parties and their waitressing jobs. One of the options you have as a WEC student is to stay in Gray Hall on the weekends that you're in class. This is great, especially for people like me who live 40ish miles away. I stay on Friday and Saturday nights usually (getting up at 6am on a Saturday and then driving an hour for my first class in the morning is NOT appealing). The dorms are....well, they're dorms. The beds are kinda terrible and the decor is definitely lacking, but considering that it saves me 80 miles of driving on college weekends, I'm definitely glad that it's an option. Most people in the dorm are fairly respectful of the noise level, but the traditional college students can get quite noisy. Thankfully, they tend to drop the noise level by around 11pm, so it's not too bad. Plus, a fan for 'white noise' makes sleeping through their fun easy.

    This school is authentically Catholic, not "Catholic in name only" like many colleges. The theology…read moredepartment is fantastic, with many well-known professors who teach here. I got a very good theology education here. Franciscan teaches Catholic truth without apology. The curriculum is grounded in names like Aquinas, not liberal theologians who interpret Catholic teaching as they see fit. Theologically they are on the conservative side - that's what makes them authentically Catholic. Most students are not only Catholic but are very serious about their faith. Many attend daily Mass (there are multiple daily Masses offered), adoration, you see students walking around campus praying the rosary, and quite a few discern a religious vocation. Franciscan is an escape from the craziness that the secular world has become these days. I took off one star for: - the town is very run down, small, with nothing to do. The campus is the only highlight. - the facilities at this school need to be updated, especially the HVAC system. Classrooms are often boiling hot even in January. - Masses are reverent (at least compared to an average parish) but could use more traditional music and more Latin. Guitars don't belong in the liturgy. Also, with so many priests living on campus, there is no excuse for their constant use of extraordinary ministers of communion.

    This school is nothing but a cult. Everyone is very judgmental. The teachers here don't care about…read moretheir students and their education. You're better off at a different university such as Ohio State, Ohio University etc.. they most likely will have a better curriculum there than here.
