My daughter is graduating from Marist today. While she has been a successful student, we’ve struggled with the administration for the past four years. Our daughter has experienced discriminatory behavior from faculty members that were not addressed by the administration despite our repeated efforts to bring it to their attention. When our daughter’s roommate dumped the kitchen garbage in the dorm bathtub and posted a violent YouTube video depicting the stabbing of a head of cabbage with a kitchen knife, the administration’s response was to suggest she move rather than intervene with mental health counseling for her roommate. And today, on the final day at the college, we watch our daughter graduate on a video screen indoors because the administration decided to continue with an outdoor processional despite advance weather forecasts of 100\% chance of rain. Lots of frustrated and disappointed families watching from indoors. Marist, get your act together!

Marist College was the best decision I have ever made. There is a perfect balance of focus on the college experience and resources and tools to project you into the real world. It is an absolutely gorgeous campus with modern technology, high levels of safety, and the potential to meet some amazing people.

I absolutely love Marist College. Everyone is extremely pleasant, kind, and I feel like I am home, socially. Academically, my grades could not be better, due to the wonderful education I am receiving here.

Marist has a great sense of community and is very inclusive to all students. Talking with friends and family back home, those who know of Marist have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. The network that you will build just by attending this school is unbelievable.

Over all, Marist is a really good school! The campus is beautiful and a good size. The students and professors are all really great, and there's always someone around to help you when you need it.

Marist College has the world's most beautiful campus and a kind and compassionate student body. I feel like I'm living on a cruise ship at Marist: there's food all the time and always events to do. With proximity to the city and a friendly community, you are guaranteed to feel safe and valued.

Life is better at Marist. The combination between sports, education, and location makes the perfect fit for any student. With an amazing view of the Hudson River and so many activities to join, you will never want to leave.

An amazing experience and a place I can forever call home. Marist offers so many amazing opportunities through clubs, internships and sports. There is truly something for everyone.

Marist was the only school I saw where I could have the "full college experience" and take part in a highly successful and accredited Fashion Program. I am so glad I chose to attend, as I have found it possible to take on two majors, a Division I sport, and make many friends in the process. This is an exceptional school.
