REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingProfessors are professors for a reason, and the ones at Marietta are by and large very good teachers as well. Knowledgeable and passionate about their subject matter, the only thing stopping an ambitious student from learning from them is laziness or complacency.
Thomas from Falls Church, VA
The professors here are all really helpful, they all give you their office hours the first day if you need any extra help. Some even give you there cell phone numbers if you need help with homework. Marietta also has lots of tutoring programs to help for free.
Brooke
My biggest class this past semester was 16 students. I do not have the option of fading into the wallpaper of the classroom, I am expected to be prepared every day, and if I am not, my professors know it. Being in such small classes has challenged me to be on top of my game every day and has put pressure on me to succeed and stand out even more.
Happy Current Student
While at Marietta College, all my professors have a PhD. in their fields. Not only do the professors just stand at the front of the classroom and lecture for 50 minutes, but they get to know their students and try and help them succeed inside and outside of the classroom. A lot of the professors at Marietta College use their own personal experiences to teach their students an try to engage their students in critical thinking and
Ryan from Milford, OH
Marietta is a great place for a student that is outgoing and loves to get involved. The key to a great college career at Marietta is to be involved early and often.
Matthew from Dublin, OH
I love that Marietta College is a Liberal Arts school. It allows me to broaden my horizons and learn about a variety of my interests as opposed to strictly sticking with my major. The professors here are fantastic and always willing to give a helping hand! There is also a lot of learning outside of the classroom through internships, study abroad, and volunteer opportunities.
Laura from Junction City, OH
Marietta is extremely welcoming and friendly. The students are very fun and glad to be here. I would give it high ranks, a very great campus.
Megan from Westland, MI
Marietta College is a private school with a great community. The people and professors are friendly and it's very easy to set yourself up to succeed. The workload is tougher because it's a private college, but if you think a small school is for you, it has great opportunities.
Brian from Mays Landing, NJ
At Marietta I am a name not a number. Classes are small and very hands on. Nothing bad to say about this school!!
Zachery from Oakdale, PA
I am being challenged academically each and every day. The assignments are difficult but not overwhelming. I know that the topics I am learning will be applicable somehow in the real world. I am happy to say that Marietta College is the college that I am receiving my education from.
