>> MALE IONA STUDENT 1: Living on campus was definitely a
great choice and a great experience.

>> FEMALE IONA STUDENT 1: I knew going into college I really wanted
the dorming experience. I wanted that
extra freedom that College can bring.

>> MALE IONA STUDENT 2: Iona emphasizes becoming a better
version of yourself. You're not known as
a number to somebody, you're not known
as oh that girl that was in my class. I'm
known as Eileen.

>> MALE IONA STUDENT 1:At Iona, you get that
sense of community that bigger schools just
don't have.

>> FEMALE IONA STUDENT 1: I walk on campus and I see so
many people that I know every day, so it
definitely feels like a tight-knit
community.

>> FEMALE IONA STUDENT 2: It's amazing being with so
many people in the same boat as you.

>> FEMALE IONA STUDENT 1: I live with my best friends. I think Iona
has a very good roommate selection
process. There's a quiz you take where
you fill out characteristics about
yourself, and I think they did a great
job because I'm still living with my
freshman year roommate.

>> MALE IONA STUDENT 1: Each student on
campus is given a meal card. We get a
specific amount on campus and off campus.
We have our two dining halls LaPenta and
Spellman.

>> FEMALE IONA STUDENT 1: One of the great things about
living on campus is that I'm so close to
campus. Classes are right there and I'm
very involved with extracurriculars on
campus, so it's great to just be able to
leave my dorm and immediately step into
the activities.

>> FEMALE IONA STUDENT 2: There's always a poster
of different events that are on
campus for any student by the sororities,
the fraternities, the sports teams, the
dance teams.

>> MALE IONA STUDENT 1: I am in the improv group on
campus. I am vice-president of the
players.

>> FEMALE IONA STUDENT 2: I'm in the Marketing Club. I'm
involved with the Iona players, WICR, which is
the radio station on campus, and also
Gaelic society, and then the Honors
Program.

>> MALE IONA STUDENT 1: I think living on campus has
been great because I can really get the feel of the campus, really
get that college experience and be able
to utilize all the college has to offer.
