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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Just like any other college, there are many crowd to get involved with. Whatever the case, just find your niche and group of people, but balance them with schoolwork and other activities. Too much on one thing is almost never a good thing.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academically, this school is challenging. They do not reward for A+'s, but deduct for A-'s. This is a school where you have to work to get an A.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm buildings are small but the rooms are a decent size. It is comfortable living.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Generic college food. There are a few options (4) to pick from, but they have pretty tough hours. You arent eating a good meal after 8pm.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Marietta is a small town. It's what you make of it. Find friends, walk the town, get involved.
