Date: Nov 22 2006 Major: English (This Major's Salary over time) The faculty members are fantastic at Marian. I paticularly recommend the English professors, but I took interesting, challenging, knowledge-building, and character-building classes across the disciplines. I graduated with honors from Marian, and I am maintaining a perfect GPA in my grad program after five years of being a full-time grad student with an overload of classes. I was well-prepared by Marian for graduate school. Now here's the catch: there isn't much of a social life at Marian for the student unless you play sports or are otherwise involved. You can get involved in extracurricular activities, and I would highly recommend it—or get a job off-campus, so you can meet new people and have something to take up some free time. Marian is a ghost town on the weekends. The campus is beautiful in an older, stately way, but everyone leaves on the weekends, except for the athletes and the out-of-town students (but 90% of the student body is from Indianapolis). I was an athlete, who also held a job off campus, and I remember my four years at Marian fondly. I think it would have been a different story if I had not been involved in an extracurricular activity, had not had a car, or had not had a job off-campus. The campus demographic may have changed since I attended Marian. Regardless, you will make friends on campus and the campus is so close to downtown Indy that you have many opportunities to take advantage of both on- and off-campus.
