  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

What Students Are Saying

Truly a great experience so far. I have no regrets in deciding to come to a small school rather than go to a large university.

Marist is one of the best colleges in the United States. The community environment, faculty, staff and administration is remarkable. I love it here!
Samantha from Pequannock, NJ
A community experience that provides a family oriented environment. It is a great place to call a home away from home. A good place to go if you are apprehensive about living away from home.
