Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is one thing you can be certain about: Marlboro College is not for everyone. It takes a certain person to come here and challenge themselves to an independently-created education. To give a student freedom and endless opportunity is often a scary concept. Additionally, to create a project that reflects four years of rigorous learning is quite the undertaking. But once embarked upon, a journey through Marlboro has infinite rewards.

Consistently growing in its respectable reputation, this school will forever strive to keep the learning process focused on and around the students. Walter Hendricks wanted to make education a conversation, and that’s what Marlboro College continues to do. The College has yet to change its approach to learning. As a student at Marlboro, you can expect to be tossed around, treated like an adult, and taken to new heights. Not everything is possible at Marlboro, but once a student graduates, they have the power to imagine anything and act upon their dreams.

Good for a Private School

Most students complain about student debt, but then-again who doesn't. Marlboro is pretty generous with their financial aid packages and this leads to a large diversity in economic background. Work study jobs are also abundant but few pay more than minimum wage. But when it comes down to it, Marlboro is far from a public school and if finances are tight, you may work during the summers to cover the extra costs.

Diverse in Excentricity

If you're into the average American Kid, you're not gonna find them here. Even the "normal kids" have their quirks and love them. What is common about both guys and girls is that they are going to be different and strong-willed.

The unavoidable part of Marlboro is that the pool is small. Therefore you'll know anyone you hook-up with.

Embrace the Out-Doors and Your School Work

All of the facilities are oriented around getting work done and getting out. The two strongest facilities on campus are the Out-Door Program and the Library. The Library is gorgeous and has a variety of places to study from group work rooms to nooks and individual desks tucked away in the corner. But the best part is that it is open 24-7! This may seem superfluous but it's really valuable when you get the early morning inspiration after partying hard on a Saturday night or want to work an all nighter and watch the sunrise when you finish.

Secondly, the out doors program is insane. They keep all of the miles of trails groomed for hikes, biking and skiing. They have all of the gear you'll need to be active. There are plenty of school-sponsored trips to everything from rock climbing spots to protests in NYC.

As far as other facilities go, we're pretty much average except that all spaces such as work out rooms and the campus center are open 24/7.
