Mass Maritime is a military school. It's not fun to be a freshmen, but as you progress through the school, your privledges increase. I graduated during a recession year and had job offers for 5 different companies as well as the option to accept a commision in the Navy. You have the weekends off, so you can leave if you wish! The school is small enough that pretty much everyone can play D-III sports if they wish. There is a great intramural program for those who do not want to commit to varsity sports. The dorms are clean and safe. The food is great. The schooled closed the on-campus pub a few years ago, so you'll have to go out into town to rage. Mass Maritime will give you as much as you put into it. The Homecoming slogan has always been, "I swore I'd never go back", but MMA has one of the most close-knit alumni associations and they provide great support for the school. If you compare the education you get with that of other schools, MMA provides the best vaule for your education dollar as any school in the country!
