Marist College

I loved Marist at the beginning, but every semester seemed to get worse dealing with housing and the academic offices. Housing at Marist lies to you about openings available, and only works with you if you go directly to the President. The faculty is less than friendly, and does little to help you out. The secretaries in many different offices are rude, and leave you hanging with no answers to your questions. I just feel like Marist Faculty really doesn't care that much, the admissions office brings in too many freshman and therefore leave upper classman with no housing.

I attended Marist my first semester as a freshman and hated absolutly everything about the experience except the fact that I came out with a best friend - who also hated it and transfered out the same time as I did.

Maybe the school just is not meant for people from Connecticut that are lacking the New York mentality, but of the 6 kids I knew from Connectut that were in the same graduating class as me, only 1 is still at the college.

I liked nothing about the people there. The students were all prissy boys and girls who had to have everything their way. They were very high maintenence. My roomates had tiffanys ordered and called their parents to have them left under their pillow for when they came home for a weekend.

Also, I wasnt a fan of this, but I know some people are. It is a bar school. everyone goes to the bar from tuesday through sunday and maybe takes monday off. If even. Plus its big money. You need to pay for taxis to get to eh bar and back plus you need to pay to get in once you are there and then for drinks later.

Also, office hours were hard for me to find. I attend the university of connecticut now and office hours couldnt be more helpful or easier to find. It makes Marist look horrible.

The food is horrible as well. I had to spend alot of money eating out because the schools food was unacceptable basically if your not from NY your not accepted
