<p>No triples broken down are just that-a room becomes available for whatever reason, somebody leaves, or other movement, and then the rooms are converted back to doubles which is what they are intended for. I agonized over the triple, and then never had to experience it, but there were several on my sons floor that I peeked into and they are not as cramped as you might think. Like I said they loft the beds, and removed unnecessary furniture, and frankly its rare that all 3 are in the room at the same time. And believe me guys do not have less clothes than girls either! lol. Each dorm does have a lounge where they can go to spread out more, and then studying can be done in other areas of the campus like the library. I heard tales of triples being offered a breakdown, and they didnt take it, they liked their room and friendship, and didn’t want to move.</p>
<p>yes, and i believe the video was talking $2k per semester.</p>
<p>Hahaha… but petcat, I think girls do tend to have more “stuff” 
so it would be interesting to know how girls in triples feel about it. </p>
<p>Thank you petcat for all the great information! I really appreciate it!</p>
<p>aloha how did your daughter choose Marist. Being someone from Hawaii its odd that she found Marist lol</p>
<p>Hi NYJ3TSFAN: Let’s see, we’re in Hawaii and my D would like to go to school as far away from her parents as she can… LOL. Actually, we encouraged her to broaden her experiences. Living on an island can lead to insular thinking and I think going to the East Coast will be good for her. Her guidance counselor mentioned Marist and Marist must like the conselor or my D’s school since three other girls from her school (it’s an all-girls school) were accepted EA as well. D is looking at several other colleges on the East Coast. Not sure which one she’ll choose in the end.</p>
<p>Congratulations on all your acceptances! Hope you get into your dream school.</p>
<p>haha. I wish her the best. and thank you</p>
<p>As a junior at marist I am still very happy with my decision! I am a communications major who originally came to this school from far away and Marist was the perfect option for me. I wanted a college campus but also wanted to be close to the city because being a communications major that was important for access to different opportunities. It was also the perfect size for me because I didn’t want to be just a number at a huge school but I didn’t want to be at a tiny school that was smaller than my high school. Marist is a medium sized school and I love that because you’re always meeting new people but you’ll also se your friends around campus. It has a community feel with professors being both helpful and approachable. As a communications major Marist was the best school for my major because of their strong connections and reputation. I definitely suggest taking a tour and checking it out for yourself! </p>
<p>I am currently a sophomore at Marist College. During my senior year of high school, I had a very difficult time deciding which school to attend. I narrowed my six options down to two: Marist College and the University of Connecticut. As a Connecticut resident, UCONN seemed like a good choice. However, Marist appealed to me so much more. The campus is beautiful and people are very friendly. The door will always be held open for you. I wanted to surround myself with people who were friendly and caring and I got this vibe after attending the open house for accepted students. </p>
<p>However, the main reason I chose to attend Marist College was for the educational experience. The classes typically cap out at twenty-five and this had sold me. I needed to build a relationship with my professor and classmates in order to progress academically, and Marist has provided me with just that experience. I like knowing that my professors recognize me throughout campus and they recognize the effort I put in as a student. They are also willing to work with you in and out of the classroom. I feel that I have succeeded as a college student because of the small class sizes and tight knit programs. If I had attended a large university with huge lecture halls I cannot say that I would have succeeded during my first few semesters at college like I have thus far. </p>
