I'm from Pearland, TX right outside of Houston. I'm considering this school, because of what I've seen from the website. Do you recommend Marist to a out-of-state student looking at a Communications/Journalism major? Did it take long for you to get used to? I'm planning on making a trip up there this spring to visit a couple different schools, but I would really love any feedback that you could provide. Thanks! Lauryn Smith |

I attended the Pre-College program for Marist before I was a senior in high school and absolutely fell in love with the school. After the program, I was then sold to the school and Marist became my first choice. As an out-of-state student from Texas, it was a little bit difficult to adjust to the lifestyle changes in New York, but with the many supportive people that I met, I was able to adjust a bit more. I am a Fashion Merchandising major, and I can vouch that the program absolutely prepares you strongly for a career in the fashion industry and helps you gain a competitive edge. The professors are highly experienced and connected in their field so that they may guide you in gaining internships later on during your college career. The Marist campus is gorgeous with its waterfront view of the Hudson RIver and scenic landscaping and buildings. All of the academic buildings and the beautiful library contains great technology to aid in research and study. The greatest benefit of the campus I would have to say is its size. Marist has a very friendly staff and student population, and with its size, it allows you to interact with your friends everyday while its also large enough to meet new people everyday. On the other hand, I view that Marist's biggest strength is also one of its weaknesses. With the small population at Marist, students often find that the campus is not very diverse. Personally as a freshman, I felt that even though it was quite easy to make friends, there were cliques that were formed quite quick. At times I felt like I was attending high school all over again with its size of student population, but I found for that to be more comforting and welcoming.
