Visit Activities:
Information Session:
Yes - Very well done. It included a slide show and a question and answering section and I learned a real lot about what the college wants and what it can offer. Marist has great internship oppertunities. Campus Tour:
Yes - It was great. I didn't know much about Marist before i went there. I thought it was going to be an easy cross off my list but after going on the tour i loved it.
Marist College Campus:
Friendliness/Courtesy of Students: 5 - Excellent -
Everybody looked happy but it was a great day outside. People were outside tanning while on their computers because the whole campus is wireless. Everyone seemed like they were having an awesome time.
Friendliness/Courtesy of Staff: 5 - Excellent -
They all seemed very happy to see us there.
Appearance of Campus: 5 - Excellent -

Building/Facilities Maintenance/Cleanliness: 4 - Very Good -
looked clean to me
Dormitories: 4 - Very Good -

Security/Safety: 5 - Excellent -
blue light security
Overall Campus Impression: -
I loved it! Had everything i needed and wanted. I really want to do an internship while in college and because Marist is linked to IBM and other companies it's very easy to get good internships.
