• The National Model United Nations was the most gratifying endeavor, both educationally and personally, that I have experienced in my entire college career. Mary E. Disken, 1973

• Model UN is a valuable learning experience, not just intellectually, but emotionally and socially as well. Jeffrey Weinstein, 1983

• The entire MUN experience - its two years -- has been a reward of a lifetime. Mike Zola, 1987


• MUN is certainly the best thing I did in college. This went beyond learning about the UN. A wonderful experience, I'll never forget! Christine Ann Young, 1992
• Participating in the NMUN has proved to be one of the most valuable segments of my undergraduate education. Its impact upon me will last a lifetime. Paul Sherr, 1993

• Experiencing something exciting in the realm of the UN, practicing life skills, learning about yourself, meeting new people from all over the world and making new friendships are
just some of the non-academic benefits of the NMUN experience. These are the impressions that I will carry with me and remember when I am older and think back to my days here at Rider. It was a truly great experience. Amy Zirneklis, 1997.

• Team work and communication skills are an invaluable part of the NMUN experience. It was also lots of fun. Valenta Valentinova, 1998.

• I do not think there is a club, class, team, or organization at Rider University that matches the Model United Nations. It changes the way you speak, think, and act ... This experience gave me a fresh perspective on our world and international relations. I grew so much personally and academically from the NMUN. Chidinma Ahia, 2002

• The NMUN experience is one of those things that will stay with you long after college.  I am grateful for having this opportunity and I know it will remain one of my greatest memories of Rider. Sean Jacobs, 2002

• This was the best thing that happened to me in my whole college career, and it’s the best learning and rewarding experience that a student can hope for.  Working hard, interacting with people, making friends, learning about the world we live in, and finally just being able to enter the real United Nations with a purpose, was something that I lack words to explain.  It was an extraordinary experience, and I would recommend it to everybody, regardless of your interest and major.  The confidence and personal growth that this experience rewarded me with,  is something that will lead me trough my whole life. Sadika Jubo, 2002

• NMUN was the best experience I have made during this exchange year. It broadened my horizon not only academically but also socially. Monika Lackner, 2002

• NMUN 2002 was  an indescribable, powerful and enjoyable experience to have and I had it and I would not want to change any moments of it. NMUN experience changes one’s life and perceptions of the world in unexpected ways.  NMUN 2002 was without any doubt memorable and unique. Guertalene Noel, 2002

• The NMUN experience was the most valuable experience of my life.  I learned more about myself than any other experience has allowed me to, I grew more as a person academically than I had ever before, and I saw more of my future than any other goal I set for myself ever showed me. Juan Nuñez, 2002
