My favorite thing about Marywood is how welcoming of an environment it is. I remember my freshman year going through a period of shock at how kind and friendly everyone really is, and I felt like there was a certain standard of kindness to live up to.

Throughout my time at Marywood, every club and organization I’ve joined has welcomed me with open arms and brought me lifelong friends.
