Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Average I hated high school, and I hate Marietta. If there's one thing you should know before choosing to go to Marietta College, know that it's exactly like high school. They take attendance in classes, don't allow laptops, and the number of students (around 1300) was the same size of my high school. It seems quaint and friendly at first, however I can see the repeat of high school- the cliques of athletes, sorority and fraternity members, and the theater students. Even from the beginning, orientation was a mess- the orientation leaders would show up to the activities drunk, and the students in Leadership knew each other before everyone else arrived, leaving people like me completely excluded. Other flaws of Marietta College: -the food options (only 3 sandwich places, and 1 low quality dining hall) -the unequal dispersement of scholarship money (if you're african american, hispanic, from the city, or an athlete, chances are, you'll be going to Marietta for free.) -the extreme spectrum of students' capabilities (I have been in classes when I wonder how the student managed to graduate high school.) -without a car, you're screwed. nothing other than a gas station and a Tim Horton's is within walking distance. -not many club and extracurricular choices There are some pros: -a select few faculty members who are extremely beneficial to the school. -cute looking campus -tightly knit sororities and fraternities -they try to put on events to entertain students Campus Aesthetics: A-, Surrounding City: D- Have a Question?

They are serious. The Engineering Department is great! The chair Dr. Bob Chase is an amazing person! Everything seems amazing doesn?t it? Well, the sad story is the city of Marietta and its people. If you are not white, this place is not where you want to live. It?s hard! There is no diversity what so ever around, although I know they are working super hard on it. For any international students who are not Saudis or Chinese it?s a struggle, and even for them it?s hard but they are the majority to the have large crowds to hang out with. You get really lonely around here. So now, does the social life outweigh the academics? Honestly yes. You have to really want to graduate from Marietta College to stay here, plus it?s still 40grand a lot of money compared to other schools. It?s just hard for internationals who are not the above nationalities. However, I will not tell you not to come here because it is after all an excellent school, very pretty too! I know guys from here with 100,000$ plus starting salaries from the petro. Engineering program. As for me, I am still deciding whether to stay or leave. But I think I will head over to Canada, I hear they are lots of people like me there. You are probably thinking I am in it for the fun. Not at all I workhard and I do have a good gpa, it?s just that when you intend on staying somewhere for 4yrs, you really have to get a life and this city does not offer me one!
