My experience at Marywood have been one of constant growth, maturity, knowledge, and success. There are many reasons why I love Marywood University. Marywood University enables me to practice my faith/religion of being a catholic all while obtaining a wide body of knowledge in nursing, philosophy and psychology. The professors are very knowledgeable and are always willing to go the extra mile to help students achieve their goals and reach their future. Marywood allows me to remain focus on my career path with much ease by providing me with a substantial scholarship and financial aid. Without the financial help my future would not look promising and bright.
