Manhattanville has many pros and cons. I often find myself calculating its cons and wondering whether it is where I want to be. I do enjoy the education I receive, and I believe it is wonderful to have smaller classes where the professors get to know their students. In general the staff is excellent and take time to help students whenever needed, yet there are many things that frustrate me tremendously about the school.
My most recent frustration stems from the lack of plowing in the student parking lots. I returned from spring break only to get stuck in a completely untouched parking lot. I spent an hour and a half trying to dig myself out of my parking space, was late to work and ruined the transmission in my car! My car was weak and barely functioning so I could not park in the snow filled parking lot. After circling the campus, I could find no cleared space to park my car, and put it in a fire lane (the only cleared area)…I was then given a double ticket which resulted in a 70 dollar fine…Then just two days after I got stuck and strained the engine struggling to get out of my spot, my car’s electrical system broke, as well as my transmission L… The tuition for this school is so high, and they can’t come up with the money to pay someone to plow the lots?
The list of cons are seemingly endless, from our closet size rooms, the no-guest policy at all our parties, and food which seems to be the same day after day….I have to at times sit and wonder why I chose Manhattanville!? I just have to keep in mind that the education is most important and all the little frustrations wil

I agree with you on a lot of your cons. However, I think most of these "cons", especially bad food and tiny rooms are present in a lot of colleges, not just here. I think it'd be difficult to find a college without these problems. :/
