I knew I wanted to come to Marist from the second I set foot on campus. It was the first school I visited and it was my top choice throughout the college selection process. choosing Marist was one of the best decisions I have ever made because it taught me so much about myself. The curriculum challenged me, however, it is not a “sink or swim” environment. Every professor I have ever had genuinely cared about me, my well-being, and my success. They would take extra time to make themselves available. The classes are tough, yet at the same time nurturing. I have also felt inspired to push myself here, not only academically but by getting involved in many activities. The campus gives me a positive feeling. It has a warmth and happiness to it that not many schools have. Before coming to Marist, I had no direction with what I wanted to do and now I am a confident marketing major and public relations minor. I had also never been outside of the country and because of Marist’s study abroad program, I have now visited 11 countries. This institution has helped me grow in so many ways and I am very thankful. Although my last couple pf months were not what I would have ever expected, I am forever grateful for every day I got to spend at Marist.
