3 College Sophomore

Campus Strictness: As far as campus strictness goes at Marist, if you follow the rules, or at least are smart about breaking the rules, you won't be bothered.

2 College Sophomore

Greek Life: Greek life is not what defines your social life at Marist College at all. Unlike so many other schools, it is completely unnecessary to join a fraternity or sorority (although they do exist) in order to meet friends and partake in social events. Only a small percentage of the student population is Greek.

4 College Sophomore

Computers: Marist College is particularly well known for its up-to-date technology, partially due to its proximity to IBM. There are always computers available in the library and any of the academic buildings, each with the latest software downloaded and ready for student use. Almost all (if not all) students have their own computers, but I can imagine getting by without one.

2 College Sophomore

Athletics: Varsity sports do not play a big role at Marist.

4 College Freshman

Academics: Most professors are knowledgeable about the subjects they teach.

3 College Freshman

Majors: The workload is manageable. I spend my days in the library and my nights relaxing or going out.

3 College Freshman

Nightlife: It's a bar school so you need a fake ID to get into lots of places. Some are lenient, some aren't.

3 College Freshman

Scholarships: I received a decent amount but it is still a very expensive school.

3 College Freshman

Athletics: Athletics at marist are on the rise. It is a division 1 school.

3 College Freshman

Greek Life: One hardly notices greek life. There's an occasional frat party but other than that greek life is barely there

1 College Freshman

Diversity: little to no diversity. People tend to be very conservative in political beliefs and closed minded.
