Sydnee - 10/18/2023

I love the community feel of Marian and how connected the students are to the staff. I think that Marian is a beautiful campus and has so much life to it. The sporting events are also wonderful to watch because a majority of the students come out to watch each other's events. Overall, Marian has been everything I could ask for and more as both a university and social atmosphere.

Mary - 01/15/2021

I love Marian University. I think it is a nice little school, and there is a nice community. While campus food is not great and campus Wi-Fi is not always reliable, it is overall a great school. Class sizes are small, professors are easily accessible, and there are plenty of resources available to students who need help.

Macey

Overall at my time on campus, I have had professors that all have been easily accessible for assistance and always willing to help. Many professors also try to cut down your cost on books which is nice as well. The class sizes are also very small, and the biggest class I have had was 36. I still found it easy to learn and ask questions in class. I have found it easy to find things to do on campus and to get involved. The facilities are nice, however are kind of outdated, especially the gym. So far I have had an amazing experience here at Marian, and have gotten involved in things many of my friends that go to other schools would not have had the chance to do.

Lia

The staff are really friendly and helpful. I only had to go to campus for 1 semester so I'm not too familiar with living activities there. When I was first deciding where to transfer my credits and continue education, I had a lot of questions. Staff went out of their way to make sure all of them were answered!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would encourage my high school self to not to to college right out of high school. I tried that and did not enjoy the experience. I ended up going back to college as an adult and loved my experience overall. I was not ready to transition from a small town high school living with mom and dad to a bigger town, living on my own with all of my own responsibilities. Had I gone into the workforce first and moved out on my own first, I think I would have made a much better transition, as well as had additional money to put towards college, instead of relying on student loans.
