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.

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.

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.
