Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | If they have somewhere else to go, they can go there as well. Madonna isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. |
| Program Reputation | 6 | There are many school districts with staff who've come from Madonna. Their reputation is a little better than average. |
| Program Quality | 6 | The professors were nice. I didn't feel like the college was spectacular. |
| Instruction | 7 | The professors were very good at communicating. They also introduced many concepts to me that were helpful later on. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There isn't much space for hands-on learning. The textbooks are mainly what we use. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | My school offers lots of evening classes. I'm also able to get classes at times I want. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | My school's average in this perspective, because the library isn't huge. But they do have internet across campus. |
| Social Life | 4 | There isn't much social interaction, as a lot of people live off campus. The parties are alright. |
| Placement Services | 7 | My school does a good job of evaluating us and giving us guidance. They have many skilled career guidance counselors. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | Haven't seen much about alumni for Madonna recently. We don't have many reunions. |
