Review of Marietta College

from Junction City, OH

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Marietta College is a great place to be. The people here are wonderful! I have found a wonderful group of friends and people who share similar interests with me. There are so many opportunities to be involved in whatever raises your interest. There is always something going on. Marietta is a very historical town, so there are neat tourist activities. It is also close enough to Parkersburg WV, Pittsburgh PA and Columbus OH to make day trips.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

My education here at Marietta has been worth every bit I've paid for it. I receive a great deal of financial aid, as do the majority of my friends. The staff in the financial aid department are very helpful. There are plenty of scholarships and grants available. The education here and experience outside the class room has been truly beneficial.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come for a visit! It's the best way to see how you feel about a college. It will also give you a good understanding of life on campus. However, make sure to bring an umbrella. It can rain a lot here.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Marietta College is a great place for students who are very active. There are a lot of opportunities, but students have to be aware and take advantage of them. It's also good for students who have a variety of academic interests. I came in with no idea of what I wanted to major in. Marietta College allowed me to sample a different areas to see what I really wanted.
