Marietta College Top Questions

My current issue is with how my school spends its money. We pay about $40,000 in tuition per year, yet the school is still in debt. Some faculty members were laid off, yet there have been a few additions that I don't understand.

Some of the freshman housing is very small rooms considered to other ones.

The worst thing about Marietta College is that it is located in a small town far away from big cities.

The health center - poor hours and poor service if you manage to get in.

I think the worst thing about the school for me is the amount of work expected from the teachers. This may also have something to do with the fact that I am following the second most difficult major offered on campus. Even in the general education classes, which there are a lot required for a liberal arts school, there was still a lot of homework and other work required outside of class.

The worst thing about my school is the very high tuition costs. I will be in a lot of debt when I graduate because of the fact that tuition is around $38,000 a year.

I actually can not think about many disadvantages for attending Marietta College, except for the recent food poisoning incident . I know this isn't a huge aspect, except for the fact that about 1/3 of the school was affected by this incident, including me. This was a huge issue here at the college recently and I can honestly not think of anything else to criticize Marietta College for. I beleive this is a great school and I am very happy about my decision to attend Marietta College, sometimes I just wish the tuition was a little cheaper.

It is a very expensive school, about 35,000 per year only made it this year through scholarships. I really like the school I don't know if I can afford it again.

I'd have to say that although Marietta is diverse, racially and ethnically, there is room for improvement in that department. We do have a big Asian population, as well as African-American and Caucasian, that's about all. Marietta seems pretty bland in that sense.

Marietta College is situated in a smaller town and is nowhere near a larger city.

The food plans are the worst thing about Marietta College because there are not many options. There are three eateries on campuus, including the main dining hall, a small take-out eatery, and a lunch-time deli. The hours are somewhat inconvenient, especially during the lunch hour when lines are out the doors. It would be nice if hours were extended so that students had more options as to WHEN they ate. Also, the meal plans are somewhat limited. For example, students are only allowed one meal per meal period.

Sometimes it gets to be too small...everyone knows everyone...so everyone knows everyones business...
