The moment anyone steps foot on campus you instantly feel the family warmth we have for our fellow and future Gaels. The opportunities for students, both inside and outside the classroom, are what makes the Iona experience unique, especially with NYC in our own backyard. You enter as a student and you leave as a scholar!

Why Iona?
I chose Iona because of its close proximity to New York City, you have that one on one with the teachers, and you are a NAME not a NUMBER at Iona! I love the fact that Iona becomes your home away from home and you meet people who eventually become family to you. There's always something to do, such as getting involved with a club or going to watch one of our 21 D-1 sports.
