I spent 6 years of my life at Marist and I don't regret any single part of it... not even when…read morethose student loan bills come in every month. As an undergraduate, I was an English major, concentrating in literature, The English program there is underrated, in my humble opinion. Marist is known as a communications/business/fashion school, and rightfully so as those programs are incredible. However, it should get more attention for its awesome little English department, staffed by some of the most amazing educators I've had in my 19 years of schooling. I was an avid reader before, but they completely changed my outlook on literature and ultimately inspired me to pursue becoming a professor myself. I returned later on to get my Masters in Education there. It's a young program (I think I may have been the second or third class?) so it's not perfect, but I also think that education is a hard subject to teach without hands-on experience, which they ultimately do require. Again, I was mentored by some awesome educators, so what more can you ask for from a college? Oh, and I did live on campus for three semesters. My first dorm, Champagnat, was renovated a year or two after I was there, so I don't have anything constructive to say about it since I haven't been in there since '01. My second dorm, a suite in Midrise, was nice. I know they were featured on a morning show about the luxury of their dorms, so there you go. The cafeteria is decent, the cafes around campus are good, they have a kickin' activities center and the library... oh, the library. I'll be here for another 8 paragraphs if I go into the awesomeness of the library, so I'll just say that I spent many a relaxing afternoon by a big window overlooking the Hudson reading the 47389423489 books assigned to me as an English major. Ah, Marist. Good times. I miss you.

Drove around campus after having lunch in Poughkeepsie, beautiful little campus right next to the…read moreHudson River, some beautiful buildings on campus.

Although I haven't selected courses at this college in a few years, this college hasn't changed…read moremuch. Although this college is a community college on paper, most of the funding and help comes from the State's University program (called SUNY, for short). It features several 2-year programs for almost any one person. The fees are generally less than those high-classed colleges, but as bad as the situation with the rising fees has it, it's choices are definitely worth it. I'm not a big fan of people wanting nursing - but no matter who I talk to on campus, they tend to push their nursing classes. They have a large turnout of nursing students. Their buildings are all rather huge and the college - like most others - sits on a hill. Organization of classes tend to reflect around Hudson Hall for most courses within the core subjects - Math, English, Science and Social/Government Studies. But, for anything else - expect to have classes in one of the few other buildings here. Time frames can vary, and with some courses you might not be on much of a waiting list. The professors at this college are well educated here, and will take their time to explain things in depth to the students, in a time slot that suits them best. There are so many courses within these core subjects they have to devote seven buildings to this college, along with a few online classes that can be taken off-campus (Internet, too). If you aren't focusing class study on the core subjects, you will probably be in one of the other buildings. Accounting classes and similar are taught in Taconic Hall, Drumlin Hall is the cafeteria building while the nearby Dutchess Hall is where most music/theater courses are taught, the Center for Business and Industry Building is where business and industry courses are taught, and the Washington Building is where Science lab and Art classes are taught.

This is a great looking school in person and on paper. This college is one of the best community…read morecolleges in New York State. It is ranked number four of the top ten community colleges in New York. The campus is very diversed. There are many different clubs and sports for my daughter to choose from. The grounds are very clean. The dorm rooms are pretty spacious with a mini kitchen in each dorm space, no community bathrooms thank goodness. The cost of attendance is about 16k per year that including the room and board, but not books. This is a wonderful option for parents that have children who do not qualify for TAP or PELL (us). I'm hoping my daughter decided to go to this college. It's a perfect transition from high school to college.
