I absolutely love Marywood. It is the best! With Sophomore year being more like a normal year after the pandemic that has gripped our nation, it honestly was such an amazing experience. The people I have met are wonderful. The teachers and administrators respond to you so fast compared to a bigger campus. I feel like that is what Marywood is all about, family.
