<p>I'll be looking at this school in the spring and would love it if anyone could give me some info?</p>
<p>hey...i live right near this school. I know it has a very solid reputation and the area is absolutely gorgeous. It overlooks the Hudson River. Poughkeepsie is allright. There are a lot of bars and a bunch of clubs and music venues. Its also really easy to get to NYC. I think its pretty strong in communications. The people are great. Its mostly jocky and their basketball and crew programs are very strong. Any more specific questions feel free to ask. =) hope this helps</p>
<p>I applied to Marist as a safety. I also know that they are pretty connected to jobs, etc. through their allumni. I was impressed by the acceptance letter they sent me. I recieved a presidential scholarship from them- and the letter seemed to be very personal- like they want me! I would like to hear from other applicants.</p>
<p>Marist College is a great place to get an education. For start, we are considered a medium sized school, but are still able to offer a 16:1 student"teacher ratio! Housing on campus has been recognized by Good Morning America as some of the best housing in the country! 85% of the faulty here have obtained the highest degree in their field, this means that the teachers are well educated and understand what they are teaching, that being said a majority of the professors who are here, teaching is their second job. This is great because of all the connections your professors can provide to you for future employment. Marist also excels in all the majors we have on campus. For example our business program is top 5% in the country, we are in the process of renovating academic buildings and a new science building will be built with a PA program and a grad program. Marist offers a major in sport communication, most schools don’t have this. Marist is also one of five colleges to broadcast on ESPN. The fashion program has grown so much so that now Marist is hosting fashion shows during fashion week! The campus is beautiful and really a lot of fun! Marist also cares about students after they graduate. 6 months after the class of 2013 graduated, 94% of the students were either employed or in grad school. Marist is a great campus and I truly suggest you come and tour to find out more!</p>
