Pros: small
Cons: not very diverse, expensive

Pros: Campus size and classroom size. I did not need a car.

As an alumnus of Marietta College, I can tell you that this school is serious about providing a quality education. Capital reinvestment in faculty and facility never ceases. It is a small Liberal Arts college in an historic working-class small town. If that is your personality type, you will fit right in. Classes are small and taught by approachable professors, not grad students.  You will forge friendships that last a lifetime and get an excellent education in the process. Yes, campus parties can get out of hand like any other school and the campus can get rough on the edges at times. Welcome to the real world. You are not pampered and sequestered here. If you want to be ready to face the world on graduation day with insight, critical thinking, leadership and confidence, then Marietta College should be a serious consideration.
