Off-Campus Dining at Marlboro College

C

Not Really Existent

Unless you want to go down to Brattleboro, which you can really only do with a car unless you want to stay for odd hours (either five hours or about half an hour for walking around town- those are the times the vans allow). If you do get into Brat, it has a few fair places to get food. Coffee shops and bakeries are your best bet, and if you have the money, Fireworks is AMAZING.

If you can't get a ride, there is no off-campus dining. There is literally no where you could feasibly walk off campus that would give you food.

There Is No Greek Life

Inside Scoop at Marlboro College

C

It's Ok

It's ok. That's really kind of it. If you want to take a class, chances are, as long as you're a junior or senior, they'll design a tutorial. You'll have to work really hard, but you'll definitely learn lots. There's not much variety here, though. Everyone acts very individual and like themselves, but we all kind of tend to be similar selfs. There can be tons of drama, especially if it snows and everyone's trapped on campus. It's a small campus, with a small student-body. Everyone on campus either loves or hates Marlboro, so it's kind of difficult to have the 'it's ok' opinion.

One thing that is fantastic is that you WILL be accepted for whatever you are, and you'll be loved for it. So long as you put yourself out there, others will take you in and be fantastic friends. It's all about being yourself in the truest sense of that, not in some who-can-be-weirdest kind of way. It gives you a great way of looking at the world.

One not-so-fantastic thing is that it is very difficult to actually see the world from inside Marlboro. It's extremely isolated, and it's difficult to get away. there's a different mindset that happens on campus, where cabin fever is definitely present and drama is thick in the air and something of a competition is taking place. You will hear everyone's drama, and many people seem to forget that there is a whole wide world outside of this school and, well, themselves. It's the kind of isolated place that forces you to reflect on yourself. Constantly.
