REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe classes tend to be small, I've never been in a class with more than 25 students. This is so beneficial because each student gets as much individual attention as they need. Most teachers are quite dedicated and have real passion for their subjects. Also, many of the teachers have had quite impressive experience in the subject they teach, allowing them to have a good understanding of their subjects, which they pass on to students. I am a Fashion Design Major, and I learned that one of my teachers was even a guest on Oprah, to discuss fashion trends.

After being at Marist for one semester, I have learned more in fifteen weeks then I have in my entire high school career. It is very academically challenging depending on your major, but the college provides more than enough opportunities to excel.
Nicholas from New Haven, CT
Marist certainly gives students the opportunity to learn as much as they want to, not just in academics but also in life. The core requirements can be replaced with cultural or foreign language courses. So you learn what you want to learn.
The school offers a lot of different certifications that can be added on to your major/minor.
Professors have the simple intent of transferring their knowledge to their students and take time to learn from the students. Classes are small, lectures are generally seminars. I've had classes with less than ten people.
But being involved within the campus is where one can develop life and leadership skills. Marist's academic offerings are well-versed, but the school organizations are just as diverse and interesting.
If college is what a person makes of it, Marist makes it possible for a person to make the most of college.

the class sizes are great and the profesors really get to know you so you can get a personal one-on-one learning experience.
Tara from Westbrook, CT
Truly a great experience so far. I have no regrets in deciding to come to a small school rather than go to a large university.

Marist is one of the best colleges in the United States. The community environment, faculty, staff and administration is remarkable. I love it here!

A community experience that provides a family oriented environment. It is a great place to call a home away from home. A good place to go if you are apprehensive about living away from home.
