<p>I have been offered a foundation scholarship and will be going to Marion Military Institute. Does any one have any valuable info or insight on Marion and it's surrounding city?</p>
<p>Good for you. Congrats! Go, do well, get on. Marion’s a decent place you’ll remember fondly and likely not return to unless it’s on the way to the beach or flight school @ Pensacola . It is your great stepping-stone. Step rightly, and take it for what it is.</p>
<p>decribing Marion as a city is being very very generous. Its an old school (I believe pre-civil war) My son went there before attending West Point. It was not a pleasant experience for him but it got him where he wanted to be, he is now a cow at USMA. Just do what you need to do to get where you want to be, get good grades and keep out of trouble and you will be as USNA the next year.</p>
