Great for these types of students any type of student is welcome here. i was surprised to find that, as an adult student, i wasn't the only older student in the class.
Bang for the buck the tuition is cheaper here than other places but you get as good an education as any university.
What to do for fun there are some activities available on campus such as a workout facility and gym.
Food and Dining the only food available on campus is vending machines. there are many restaurants nearby though.
Academic Rigor while mtc is a laid back campus and the teachers are helpful, the academics are comparable to any university. if you work hard and study well, you will succeed.
Tips for prospective students get as many of your general education and pre-requisite classes done in the first year as you can, before you begin your major classes.
In three sentences marion technical college is a great place to get a 2 yr degree or begin the first 2 years of a bachelor's degree. it is a small campus where people are friendly. the professors are helpful and want to see students succeed.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is 24/7 campus security through the Ohio State University police officers
Greek Life We have one small sorority called Phi Theta Kappa
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs and activities to do here. There Albert Student Center always has new things to do. There is also a chance to be a Student Ambassador, a sorority member, and others.
Great for these types of students This campus is great for students who want a small campus with almost all of a large university experience. This campus is great for students who just graduated high school and don't want to venture too far from home and working adults who want to go back to school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus This campus may seem unusual to some because there are two colleges put into one campus. There is also the traditional zombie apocalypse on campus every year during Halloween.
Bang for the buck Well worth the money!!! To get an associates degree at MTC is a very smart choice. They charge $166 per credit and the more credits you take the more discounts you get. Plus there is not a bunch of other fees. There is your tuition, a $16 parking fee, and a lab fee (only if you take certain lab classes); plus general book fees.
What to do for fun Marion Tech shares their campus with Ohio State University at Marion (OSUM) so students can interact with OSUM students and there are many off campus activities both schools schedule with one another. There are hiking, camping trips; movie nights on campus, and many other activities.
Food and Dining There are available vending machines, but its better to go off campus to close restaurants if students want good food.
Dorm Life No dorms available, but apartment complexes are nearby
Academic Rigor The classes are compatible with what you would expect at a university, but there is more instruction and lecture time. Much less outside of class work due to more lecture in class
Tips for prospective students Prospective students need to make sure they schedule as soon as they can. This is a smaller college so classes fill up quickly. Also it is great to make close friends in each of your classes. They can inform your professor if you cannot attend a class and you could set up study groups.
In three sentences This is a great community college for students right out of high school or adults wanting to go back to school. The professors are well educated, very helpful, and the classes are small enough for one on one instruction. I would recommend this college to anyone!
