Review of Marist University

from New Haven, CT

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

This is one of the most fun colleges I've ever been to. I have visited many and not many colleges know how to have a good time like Marist. We work very hard but we party hard too. My motto has always been, Work hard, play hard. Marist provides one of the best college experiences I've seen.

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

Marist is pricey. But the type of education your receiving is second to none. After one semester, I am confident that Marist will prepare me for the real world. For the money your spending, your getting the best professors, the best resources, having the most fun and meeting friends of a lifetime.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Work hard in high school. If you know that Marist is 100% right for you, definitely do early decision. Your committed to Marist once you apply, but it's so much easier to get in. Marist is getting increasingly hard to get in to. I've been told in a few years Marist will be comparable to NYU.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Anyone who knows how to work hard and have fun at the same time. If your looking for THE college experience, come to Marist.
