Alright, so this school is absolutely beautiful, right on the hudson river, you have a great view of the mid-hudson bridge. The city of poughkeepsie is quite scary, I hear about kids getting jumped all the time, I've seen gang fights. The cabs are expensive, so pretty much if you don't have a car you're stuck on campus unless you want to goto the bar/club. The Loft is the big spot in town, not really into myself, its just a club.

One thing this is seriously lacking is more interesting people. Everything feels like high school again, an alternative mind really doesn't fit in well. If you like to wear uggs and abercombie you'll fit in great here with all the other hollister models. Personally I feel alot of tension between the whole preppy style type of person vs. the kids with a different sense of style. In fact I've heard on multiple accounts a few gotti-esque hair guys saying how much they hate kids with long hair. This school doesn't seem very liberal at all, maybe kids were protesting during the 60s and vietnam but not anymore, there is no real voice on campus beyond what one did last night.

questionSince Marist is one of the four schools I am considering applying for (three seem to have an disengaged student body, har har yeah?) I wanted to ask you personally, how do you think a person who came over from europe when they were young would get along? I consider myself open minded of people until they prove themselves beyond reproach, do you suggest I try the college or avoid it at all costs?
