Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Marlboro College: land of the reconverted dairy farm. That’s right! the academic building, dining hall, administrative offices, health center, admissions building, and even one of the dorms used to be part of a working dairy farm. The land was donated when Marlboro was founded, and ever since, students and staff have been working to rebuild the old parts of the farm into a thriving college space. Almost everything here is white clapboard. The insides of the buildings are, for the most part, homey and warm. There is wood everywhere, with soft lighting and lots of heat (a necessity for Vermont). Even the dance studios, performing arts building, theater, art studios, sculpture barn, and music building all have this glow about them.

Most facilities at Marlboro are adequate. There's a place to paint, a place to dance, and a soccer field to play “Marlboro-style” soccer. We have a weight room, a sauna in the woods, and an Outdoor Program with equipment for any trip imaginable. But most things at Marlboro are used and used again, like a rustic summer camp. Here at Marlboro, everyone has what they need to learn and be happy, but high-tech expensive facilities are not in the near future, nor do most students want them to be. Every time the issue of “a television on campus” comes up, students vote to keep it out. Everyone is satisfied to work with what they have.

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.

What You Make of Them

Facilities at Marlboro vary. There is currently a fantastic initiative to build have students build a greenhouse which will have internet and supplement the dining hall, which I would consider a fanstastic facility; however, I should say that the campus center is old and a bit run down. The library could be stocked better too. BUT, you have to realize there is a huge student operated fund that expects you to apply for money for projects you care about. A student art wall was built with this money, and the greenhouse will be as well.

The Outdoor Program building has a treadmill and Nautilus machine. It also has Randy, our full-time OP director, who plans caving, rock-climbing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, skiing, and just about everything. It also has free (free!) equipment rental, from skis to tents to camping stoves to Frisbees to Monopoly to baseball equpiment to climbing shoes. Oh, and did I mention that Marlboro has miles and miles (and miles) of trails?

Favorite Things To Do

Marlboro always has something going on. There are lectures, plenty of performances, music recitals, dance pieces, plays, movies, and other creative and exciting events that involve just about the whole campus. We’re pretty tight-knit here, and there is always buzz going around about where to go and what to do. Most performances occur in Whittemore Theater or Persons Auditorium. Also, lectures and movies are shown in the building known as “Apple Tree.”
