I received a BFA in art and graphic design from MIU in 1984. My 5 years as a student were fun, inspiring, and laid a valuable foundation for my life. I made lifelong friends and even married my college sweetheart. My degree and other skills learned as a student have been very valuable in many professional roles over the years

I went to 3 universities before attending MIU. Absolutely honestly... MIU was far and away the best educational experience that I ever had. What contributed to it was - the super smart and accessible instructors, the style of teaching that relates the most abstract and universal nature of the Universe to each and every discipline AND to the student who actually experiences it daily with the TM Meditation. And the fact that you are physically more comfortable than you could ever imagine at any regular university campus - the food, the living space, the study space, the recreational space. And the students are so nice. Forget the weirdness. Forget the "I don't want to be in school" thinking. OK, I'm done. You get the picture. It would just be so wrong to die and look back and think... "I could have experienced that!" Just do it. You will love it.

I received a Master's Degree from MIU in 1985. It was very good then and has only become better. There is no other institution of higher learning in the country that offers not only a quality education in standard fields of learning, but also develops the consciousness of the knower. The practice of TM and its advanced programs structures more wakefulness, expanded comprehension, clarity of thought, and emotional stability in the midst of our fast-changing world and does so on the level of the physiology, so it is real and solid, not just a fleeting state of mind. At the same time, the whole environment enjoys remarkable liveliness and harmony, where negativity has little chance to grow and flourish. MIU's unique course offerings, including the Vedic Studies curriculum, Ayur-Veda professionals program, and sustainable living program, are frosting on the cake. I loved it there and always enjoy going back.

As a 1986 BA Graduate/ Psychology and a 1st. Student Sidhi course MIU was my home for 20 yrs. So for me the name MUM or MIU really didn't matter. It is the consciousness of what one has gained by being in this environment that matters the most.

My experience going to MIU was literally fantastic. Everything about the university is superb. All of the professors and students went above and beyond what a student would expect. Fabulous life changing experience.

Unsurpassed educational experience.

Comparing my personal experience in meditation with the study of English Literature, and later Education, at MIU, resulted in knowledge that I fully own. It built a concept map within me. I can see how parts fit into the whole, and feel a depth of understanding on many subjects. I am completely satisfied with the quality of my education. I was at times disappointed with administrative fairness.

I arrived at MIU in 1978. At that time the university was still developing on an abandoned campus from Parsons College. I thought this place is not all it was cracked up to be. Then I learned that it was I (along with everyone else) who had to make the university as great as I thought it could be. Now I have been here over 40 years and I am convinced that the same is true today. If you want a great place to learn then you have to do your part and make it a great place to learn. Others are here for the same reason and you will help each other.
