If you're looking for a small private school, Marist College is the one. There are around 5,000 students enrolled, which creates a great atmosphere in the classroom. The maximum amount of students in a class is around 50, while most classes contain 20 students. Marist College is located in Poughkeepsie, New York, which is a small city setting. Because of this, anything you'll ever need is typically located within a short driving distance of the school. There is a 37% acceptance rate, so it is imperative to have impressive grades in high school and for the SAT's.

    Marist College is the perfect college if one if looking for a close-knit community and dorm-life. The people are very friendly, the campus is well-kept, and professors are educators and not just teachers. The small classrooms help ensure students are getting the attention they need to grasp the material.

    I was so excited about attending Marist College but was disappointed when I arrived. The campus is beautiful but don't be fooled the people aren't friendly and there is nothing to do during the day.

    In general, Marist is a good place if you are a well rounded person. It is the sort of school that has a lot of good things, but no one great focus. It is not a very diverse campus, but can be an interesting place if you put yourself out there.

    It's a good school if you intend on majoring in business or management. Their film and video department and liberal studies program could be improved.

    Marist was definitely the best decision I ever made. The proximity to the city allows for amazing job and internship opportunities along with access to exciting shows and other planned trips. Also, the people that attend make the experience that much better because everyone is extremely welcoming and kind.

  • Marist sucks!
  • Nov-28-2012 I am a current student here

    People here are very close minded to international students. They don't go out of their comfort zone to make friends with people that don't look or act the same as they do.

    The campus at Marist College is breath taking. I love how beautiful the view of the Hudson River is. It truly seems like the Harvard on the Hudson.
