  Great for these types of students	Small campus life seekers, continuing education students, students in search of small classrooms, evening or day classes, 2 year degrees, and attentive to class requirements and coursework.
  Bang for the buck	Decently priced for great education credentials and experience attained
  Food and Dining	There are several eateries nearby that include but are not limited to pizza, subs, dunkin donuts, Chinese food, a pharmacy filled with snacks, as well as vending machines within the schools campus.
  Dorm Life	There are no dorms available for this school but lots of apartments and homes nearby with an easy route for different modes of transportation.
  Academic Rigor	The course load is very attentive and sometimes rigorous but well maintainable with step by step processes conducted by the teachers and staff. Upon graduation, you are well prepared and sometimes more so than sophomores within four year school programs.
  Tips for prospective students	Be attentive, work hard, don't be afraid to ask for help because its always available for your academic excellence! Use help from librarians and computer room staff for any extra help with papers, research and writing
  In three sentences	Maria College is a great start towards educational and career goals. The ability to be a part of a small campus with a smaller teacher to student ratio proved to be fundamental for ones academic growth. Both teachers and staff are available for the optimum academic levels of achievement with as much work and effort that you put forth.
