Marietta is a great place for a student that is outgoing and loves to get involved. The key to a great college career at Marietta is to be involved early and often.
Matthew from Dublin, OH
Marietta is extremely welcoming and friendly. The students are very fun and glad to be here. I would give it high ranks, a very great campus.
Megan from Westland, MI
Marietta College is a private school with a great community. The people and professors are friendly and it's very easy to set yourself up to succeed. The workload is tougher because it's a private college, but if you think a small school is for you, it has great opportunities.
Brian from Mays Landing, NJ
At Marietta I am a name not a number. Classes are small and very hands on. Nothing bad to say about this school!!
