For my milestone 100th review, I just have to give props to my Alma Mater, THE Ohio University,…read moreest. 1804. This is not to be confused with Ohio STATE University, home of the Buckeyes. They are _much_ better at football. It really did get me to where I am today despite the recent bad press. For the most part, colleges give me a tad bit of anxiety. Visiting UC Davis recently, I felt like I forgot to write a paper, or that I need to go to class, or that I was missing valuable drinking time before class. Remembering what year it was and that I was a big boy now eased these pains, but reassured me that I wasn't going to get my Master's anytime soon. In any case, here are the things I miss from going to school here: TONY'S : This was a locals bar, but also my favorite. Warm Killian's Irish Red and Coors Light on tap just added to the experience of classic rock music and drunk townies. You will likely see me wear a T-Shirt advertising this bar. THE GREEN : Just a nice patch of grassy land underneath enormous trees. I would often go here while I cut class on very nice spring days. JEFF' HILL : Short for Jefferson Hill that is now closed due to bad road conditions (most of the uptown is paved in brick. The kind that would trip the unsuspecting pedestrian and cause their drunk friends to laugh incessantly). There were many a sledding on cafeteria trays here during snow storms. RTV BUILDING : This is where I got my Communication Systems Management degree. In the bowels of this building, I was at class almost all week. Though I would think this area would bring me anxiety, this is where I first realized that I was finally _getting_ college. COURT STREET : The main street of the small University (population 30,000, which was also about the number of students who in attendance). Though it's gotten a bit commercialized in the past few years, I will always remember the many strolls down the street looking for a place to eat or imbibe alcohol. I am sure I will keep adding to this list as I remember more things that I miss. If you have a chance, visit this small campus. I know I will be for years to come.

An amazing school with awesome professors and very kind and accepting students! Go bobcatsread more

After college, I returned to Boston as a 200lb gay man who was extremely outgoing, active, and sure of my identity. Five stars: *Gorgeous campus *Fantastic faculty & staff *Amazing student body *Lovely little river city (Marietta, Ohio) *Plenty of opportunities to better yourself Marietta College made me who I am. Now, I wonder if this review will make some of my debt disappear.

Marietta College is a quintessential liberal arts school in a small midwestern town…read more When I was enrolled here, I met people from all over the world, and wondered WHY the heck they would come to this little charming, friendly, picturesque and historic little river town, away from all the madness of big cities, and get a decent education in cool things like petroleum engineering or geology. Those reasons were not totally clear to me while I was in that sleepy little town. Plus now they have a WalMart in town!

Took post-secondary classes at OUCH! That means taking college classes while still in high school…read more I scored high enough on the Act to qualify and it was truly an amazing experience. I always earned straight As in school and needed a no academic challenge along with a no escape from high school drama. I got a high quality education with friendships that'll last a lifetime! I took 3 Zoology, a psycholog 101 and mneunonics survey course, along with two art histories, intro to drawing, clay building, and a painting course. Mrs. Pontious was awesome with hands on zoology experience! Psych went broad spectrum yet stayed interesting. Art history went through thousands of years of art and architecture, and the art classes really tested the limits of my talents! I did these while also taking AP English and AP Calculus at Circleville High School! All the teachers deserve an A+ in my eyes! Make sure you attend every class and take good notes! With smaller classes it's easy to ask questions and make friends! Lovely nature woodland area with gazebo behind building! Giant gym building next door celebrating the Hilltoppers! One of the best decisions of my life was to do Post-Secondary at Ohio University Chillicothe from CHS! Highly reccomend for those bored in high school, or those scared of getting lost in the big state schools! Very approachable atmosphere! All of my credits transferred to OSU, and it helped my resume/curriculum vitale enough to get the Maximum Scholarship at OSU! Strong nursing program, with a wide variety of art, psychology, and sign language classes! Beautiful library with very knowledgeable librarian who'll help you look up information for your papers. Placement computer test and essay to get in was very easy and designed to get to know you as a student. School email is easy to use, as is the computer room. It has a small cafeteria like area in basement with nothing but vending machines and microwave. Subway and Sumburger is a short drive away with friends! I only wish I too all four years of high school there! You get both high school and college credit! Strong in the arts and humanities! Definitely helped me gain confidence before entering OSU main campus! Two Hilltopper Thumbs Up!

The dorms are actual apartments, not cement walls. The tuition is low, and people actually get jobs when they leave. You cannot beat the views. The town welcomes new students, and there are things to do in town, like antiquing, food, etc. Everyone is really nice. Don't listen to the old posts. They are old posts for a reason.
