I only come here to pick up zipcars. That process is pretty easy. Don't know much about the actual school, but they were shut down because their students don't know how to adhere to simple regulations
So 5 stars for zipcar
3 stars for the actual school, based solely on what i know.
Beautiful, park-like campus in the Lower Hudson Valley, NY. Superior technology through multiple Joint Ventures with IBM. Technological advances, accredited programs Doctorate in Physical Therapy and MS in Physician Assistant Studies. F-1 VISA eligible programs. Top-rate undergraduate programs including top nationally rated Fashion department. Small classes. Personal attention. Stong alumni network. Easy commuter train access to NYC. Branch campus in Florence, Italy.
god this school was so white and rich and pretentious. im only glad i made such good friends bc everything else here was terrible
I love it. It's big, very beautiful view. Has a lot of majors, dual majors, accelerated programs, study abroad programs, takes other colleges credits. Not so much with diversity. Dorms are nice, a lot of different choices in food for people with allergies and special diets. Overall I loved it.
Wonderful college campus! It is located on a riverside with beautiful view of mountains, river, train, and greenery all over the place. I highly recommend anyone to visit and/or study at this amazing college.
With the Covid 19 Pandemic that plagued us in 2020/2021, I really cant speak to much about the college. The few parents I spoke with at Marist are moving their kids out and the kids seemed unhappy saying they couldn't wait to get home and apparently some had such a bad experience they are not coming back. With two to a room they felt trapped in their 25x15, no A/C cellblock dorm room. Its a nice campus overlooking the Hudson River but the campus layout is built on a hilly area and theres not much to do unless you like to walk or you can travel to downtown Poughkeepsie which is not an area to cheer about. I guess being locked up with no activities and not really getting the chance to meet new friends can result in anxiety and negative impressions for first year students. I'm sure almost all colleges faced the same struggles with Covid19 and lock downs on students, however Marist is definitely stricter than most schools which is good for parents but apparently isn't for every kid, especially the outgoing type.
My son is attending Marist going into his junior year. We are thrilled, and so is he, with Marist. Beautiful campus. Great Teachers and Faculty. I read here where some people complain about teachers not giving more time to their child. Seems this student was having a hard time and saw the teacher weekly and thinks the teacher let them down. Was told that they should consider a tutor and now blames the teacher for their failure. Teachers are not tutors. And maybe this student just wasn't cut out for their wanted profession. Another blaming security because their student lost a book. How is it the responsibility of security to find it if its not turned in? There's nothing they can do. Just because you're on a campus it doesn't guarantee success or all students are honest. It's the real world. Can't stand it when people blame others for their child's irresponsibility or inability to grasp a subject. My son's major is biomedical science as he wants to be a doctor. Last years class on organic chemistry "is the weeding out class." 80% of the students either drop out on their own or the professor speaks with them to encourage them to find another profession because their failing. If my son was told that, I'm not blaming the professor. He'd have to accept that it's not for him and to find another profession. Nobody said life's fair. So take responsibility for yourself. Marist is a great college.
