Marist College

Marist was not originally my first choice but after completing my first semester there I know I have made the right decision. Marist has become my new home. The friends I have made will undoubtedly remain my friends for life. The faculty is approachable and the small class sizes at Marist really help individual students learn to the best of their ability. At Marist, there are tons of ways to get involved and I highly suggest doing so. Clubs and intramurals are so fun and will help freshmen meet friends and upperclassmen too. Go to sporting events, do your schoolwork, and go out with friends on the weekends. Though others may argue that Marist is a bunch of rich kids from the tri-state area, it really is so much more than that. Plus, there really isn't anything wrong with the tri-state area students anyways :)

Make sure to say Hi to everyone you see because all Marist students are real friendly.
It's a great school with an outstanding amount of opportunities. Go Red Foxes!

I absolutely LOVE Marist College! The campus is beautiful, espcially the view of the Hudson River from the library. Marist is big enough to meet new people daily and small enough to recognize faces, especialy the security guards. The professors, staff, and students are very friendly and helpful. I have never met a person at Marist who wasn't willing to help out another individual, whether it be personally or academically. The professors make an effort to learn your name and personality quickly, are always available for office hours, are willing to help you understand the material if any confusion arises, and are approachable and easy to talk to. The class size is small which makes the learning process easier and much more enjoyable.
