    Am learning a lot

    I am currently a freshman at Thomas More College- pursuing to get most of my general education classes accomplished in my first year. During my senior year of high school, I was able to earn 24 credit hours through dual-enrollment courses to Northern Kentucky University and through Advanced Placement courses. The classes here- although just general education courses- are certainly more involving and time-consuming. They involve little day-to-day assignments and homework (in other words, a definite step up from your high school course load), but a great deal of outside study time. You truly must engage yourself in every subject daily to build up a reservoir of knowledge. The professors are helpful and knowledgeable in their respective areas, and incredibly easy to contact or meet with if you so desire. Fellow classmates are also very interested in the subject, and it was a pleasing change from High School to see my peers actually MOTIVATED and CONCERNED about their grades. Finding a study partner is not difficult, and the library is always full of little clusters of people bent over books.
    Thomas More has an online reference database called 'myTMC', that every student has an account for. This definitely comes in handy should you want to ask your class, professor, or an adviser a question.
    Schedules vary a LOT- from what I have heard. Personally, all of my classes have one to two hour breaks in between. This provides a great deal of study time, and time on-campus with access to all it's resources. Other students don't have schedules with as much time in between, but are done with their day relatively earlier than I am. If any scheduling conflicts arise, the Bursar's Office is extremely approachable. I was able to stroll in during the summer, and one of the advisers dropped everything she was doing to sit down with me (without any appointment) and plan out my day. It was truly appreciated, and just part of the small-school appeal Thomas More has to offer.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am a definite advocate of living on-campus at Thomas More College. I am a commuter, and feel as though the bonds that my fellow classmates have made with each other are due to their presence in the dorms, and the many dorm activities that go on every evening. I have a part-time job, and find it difficult to attend these, and feel as though I am missing out on a vital part of the college experience. From what I have heard from residents here- their are always little activities, movies, free-food (what's better than that?), and sporting events to attend. For such a small school, it is important to get as involved as possible. I have had a small problem trying to get involved in extracurriculars here as well. I attended a club fair the first week or so of classes, and signed up for several, and even after going to the club meetings- never heard from the club sponsors again. It was pretty disheartening, in all honesty. So it would be wise to get names and e-mail addresses of individuals in charge of clubs, and stay in communication with them if you would like to actually be involved in the club's activities.
    Bang for the buck

    This is the only qualm my family and I had for this school. Due to the fact that Thomas More is a private, Catholic College, the tuition is very high. I do not live on campus, and just the tuition is comparable to going to a large University and ROOMING there- combined! From what I have seen, students that end up choosing this college from out-of-town or out-of-state have done so because of athletic scholarships. The bookstore is small, but effective and personable- yet used books are not readily available all of the time due to the small size of the school. An off-campus bookstore would help to alleviate the high costs of books here.
    I would also advise commuters, if they plan on eating on campus, to buy a meal plan. If not, the individual meals are rather pricey.
    Parking on-campus is free all year! This was a nice thing to discover during Freshman Orientation. Their are only two connected lots on-campus, so it's basically first-come-first-serve, and luck to get a close park.
    Tips for prospective students

    Live on campus if you are financially able to- it adds depth to your experience. Join clubs, and take careful notes of names of the individuals in sponsoring/running these clubs- chances are you will have to follow up on the status of your membership/activity.
    If you plan to commute, buy the smallest meal plan available.
    Commuters might also want to time their arrival to the parking lots with class schedules- if you don't want to have to circle endlessly searching for a parking space, or just a little bit of empty pavement to create your own.
    Buying your books online would definitely save you some money. The only cost of doing so would be the convenience of having your books ready a day after you order them through the book store, and waiting for you in a nice, little bag on campus.

    Athletic scholarships- seems many students are here due to this fact. Nursing program is also highly prestigious here, due to the fact of the hospital in close proximity to campus. I can imagine it would be easy, with the right credentials and recommendations, to place a job upon graduating in the nursing field. Would also be pleasing to students looking for a small, low-key school in a safe and quiet town. Plenty of restaurants and shopping in the area (shopping outlet mall right across the street), and campus is about fifteen minutes from Cincinnati. Their is only one sorority on campus- so girls interested in Greek life should take this into consideration.
    Thomas More is also a Catholic school. Their is a small chapel on campus, but plans are in the works for building a larger one very soon. Mass is usually at noon; so you can go to class, pray about the test you just took, then on to the next one. Their is something cute about walking through the old, dim hallways and smelling incense lingering in the air. Campus ministry is also very active, and it's easy to get involved if you so wish. Catholicism is definitely not forced down your throat here, though, and a large portion of the students are not of the faith. You will have to take a religious education class at some point during your time here, though.
    All in all, this is a small, quiet school. It's very community oriented, and tight-knit; with a STRONG foundation centered on athletics.
    You would love this school if you want to see familiar faces between every class, get to know your professors well, and have a lot of flexibility with your schedule. Basically- the overall appeal of any small school, but with athletic and Catholic undertones to it.
    The mission statement of Thomas More is clear-cut. It's a liberal arts college with the goal of letting you find your role in life, your place in the world, and taking on social responsibility.
