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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
As I said before, get involved! Meet people that you might not usually meet and become integrated in the diversity and excitement that occurs on campus every day.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Small class sizes and a demanding load of general education credits makes Marietta a college where an absence of work can not go undetected. Additionally, Marietta was called the Harvard of the mid-west in the Princeton Review 2011.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
All of Marietta's students must live on campus all four years unless there are special circumstances. I have enjoyed every year because of the large living communities where fun is inevitable.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is amazing on the first visit. But, the day to day eating can get a little old. Definitely not the worst, but not the best.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Golf, recreation, bars.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
In my own experience, I have had three internships as a petroleum engineer in three years. I have seen the dividends pay out and because we are such a small college, alumni ties are strong and usually pay off in the way of internships and connections.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Doo-Dah Day is epic. I can not describe it, but most everyone on campus can agree that a couple weeks before final exams in the spring is diagnosed by a good ole doo-dah day.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Social, hard working, outgoing and opinionated.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life, political groups, religious groups, industry groups, sporting recreation and fan groups, there is bound to be a group for people of all types at Marietta College
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Yes. I have chosen not to join, but the Greek organizations at Marietta are well represented and do great community work.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Marietta is a very safe campus, currently we are in the process of keeping our campus police force on campus (student lead after talks of abolishing their presence). Also, students are supporting an armed officer initiative that will enable our campus police to protect students and keep the campus free of any serious threats (currently not allowed to be armed). Our students are aware of horrible campus fatalities such as VT and we have every intention of protecting ourselves and our campus.
