As I walked around campus today I realized that communication around this little college is pretty decent. Between flyers, emails, advertisements, and word of mouth things get around school fast. Brownson and the res halls are covered in different advertisements for events, activities, and productions going on. It never occurred to me how much happens within one day here.
As I went from Brownson to the Castle to the cafeteria, I saw and heard about at least five events that would be happening around campus in the next week. I think that since we have such a small school, things are easily communicated, and it’s totally different from a bigger school. After visiting my best friend at UMass Dartmouth, I realized how tiny Manhattanville College really is. All of the events at UMD are huge, and they have many different facilities for them to occur in. For example, they had a comedian there recently, and they had to put it in the theater, which held hundreds and hundreds of people. At Mville, where would we put that many people?
One of the main reasons I came to Mville is because it is so small, and my high school was tiny, so it’s simply what I am used to. The community aspect of school is much more present in a small college. The fact that people can put up posters to advertise their event is great, and it is also great that by word of mouth, just about everyone on campus will hear about it. If a pub party or bake sale is happening, it is very likely that about 75% of Mville will know about it, including faculty and some staff. I think that is definitely one of the cool things about this school, everyone knows about all the opportunities and events offered each day on campus.
