Marist has a ton of potential to be a great school, but it just isn't. The main problem I'm having now is housing. When visiting Marist, they advertised the amazing housing, and told us how great it is. Going into my Junior year, however, I'm now realizing that this fantastic housing is severely limited. They keep accepting more and more freshman, with nowhere to put them. So they put them in Sophomore housing. Then the Sophomores get the Junior housing. Now because housing is not guaranteed for Juniors or Seniors, it has become a vicious battle of "priority points." These points are how Marist distributes housing. The more you have, the better housing you get. It's an EXTREMELY flawed system, and is based almost solely on extracurricular activities. I will most likely not get any housing and be forced to live off-campus in the City of Poughkeepsie... a place you definitely do not want to live. Just be warned that the "beautiful housing" Marist offers is not guaranteed and that you could be stuck somewhere in Poughkeepsie.
