Monmouth University

Monmouth University is a small, private university in West Long Branch, New Jersey, known for strong programs in business, nursing, communication, psychology, and the liberal arts on a 147‑acre campus about 50 miles from New York City. Students often rave about the beautiful, near‑the‑beach setting, small class sizes, active campus life with many clubs and events, and a strong sense of community fostered by Division I athletics and a very residential campus.

"I love Monmouth’s small‑college‑by‑the‑ocean vibe, how easy it is to get involved in clubs, housing events, and a big‑feel‑D1 campus, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the sometimes‑vacant‑on‑weekends quiet, the split between commuters and residents, and the way the ocean‑town off‑campus scene can feel thin were all more noticeable once I stopped just visiting and started living there."

Hawks women fired consistent team totals around 323 at Battle at the Creek on Kings Creek Country Club and Princeton Invitational on Springdale Golf Club. Depth through par saves and resilient scrambling shone on challenging New Jersey layouts despite firm greens.
