Marshall University

Marshall University attracts me because if there nursing program and because they are a school in my state (WV). I believe Marshall University has a good student life with easy to access websites. If you are someone from out of town or out of state Marshall's campus is close to the race tracks, Mothman museum, and amusement park.

I have been accepted to Marshall and my biggest reason that drew me to the school was they amount of help I feel like I have. There is always someone checking on you, or someone to ask questions to, it is more of a guided experience. I also choose Marshall due to its program opportunities and teachers that I have met for my Major ahead of time. Overall I feel relatively safe, and motivated with the options Marshall presents.

As a high school student considering my college options, Marshall University has really caught my attention. From what I've seen, the campus has a welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a tight-knit community. I’ve visited a few times, and every time, I’ve felt the positive energy from students and staff alike. One of the things that stands out to me is the variety of academic programs they offer. I’m particularly interested in health sciences, and I've heard that Marshall has strong support in that area. It’s reassuring to know that the faculty members are approachable and truly care about their students’ success. I’ve read that class sizes are smaller, which means more personalized attention. That’s exactly what I’m looking for in a college experience. During my visits, I noticed how well-kept the campus is, with modern facilities that create an inviting environment for studying and socializing. I’m also excited about the extracurricular activities—there seems to be something for everyone, from clubs to sports. The school spirit is another highlight; I can imagine what it would be like to cheer on the football team with fellow students. While I understand every university has areas they need to improve, my impressions of Marshall have been overwhelmingly positive. I can definitely see myself thriving there, and it feels like it could be a perfect fit for my academic and social goals.

Marshall University has always been my college of choice. I visited other campuses, but Marshall stood out to me because of it's small classroom size, close distance to home, and the many degrees that it has to offer. Marshall offers a great education to it's students with a high success graduation rate.

I attend Marshall and have for three and a half years at this point. If you want the opinion of someone who's important or involved in all kinds of things then this isn't the right review for you. Its not for lack of trying on their part though. Just about everywhere you turn there's something to join and be a part of, its enough to make your head spin. As far as my humble opinion goes though, there is no place I'd rather go to school. The campus is exceptionally nice and walkable, the professors all feel like they are excited to teach and help, and the staff is unimagineably helpful. When I decided to go to Marshall I was skeptical. I chose it because Marshall was cheap and close to home, that and I missed the deadline for Ohio State. When I got here Marshall and everything it offers just clicked for me. It immediately assuaged my spiteful attitude towards it when I first arrived. I can't tell you much about the departments I haven't been involved with, but the biology department has been something of a dream. All kinds of interesting classes taught by professors that genuinely care about the material. The biology department only solidified my life goals, I've always been interested in biology but nothing more. This place really cemented that this is the material I want to spend my life working with. So, is Marshall the biggest, nicest, or even best school? No it isn't. To me though, there is no place I'd rather have gone.

The opportunities seem endless. Everyone is extremely generous and friendly because of the wonderful community in Huntington, West Virginia. I'm currently enrolled, however, the semester hasn't started yet. I'm excited and nervous for what my future at Marshall holds because I'll be stepping into my new college life. However, I've explored the campus numerous times on field trips and for programs, this makes me trust that Marshall will help me excel in learning and pursing my passions, which are important to me. Luckily, Marshall has a plethora of programs and clubs to help facilitate student's interests and goals. The school also has a forensic program, which is what I'll be majoring in, that I've heard from many sources is fantastic and reliable. Taking this step into my new life is scary, but I feel ready and secure. Marshall here I come!

Going to Marshall University was the best decision I have ever made. The people here are truly wonderful, from the students to the professors to the employees of the university. The new facilities are wonderful, and my favorite places on campus are Morrow Library, the Rec, and Towers Marketplace. I wouldn't choose any other school over Marshall if I was doing the college search process over again.

I have really enjoyed my two years at Marshall University and I’m grateful to have chosen it as my school. Although it is a big small, I still feel like I’m getting the coveted college experience that you see in movies and TV shows. My class sizes have been manageable and my professors have always been available.

I love being a marshall student, GO HERD! There are so many different opportunities available at marshall university! Football games are my favorite thing to attend and a great way to have some fun after studying all week for classes! I am a nursing student and in my opinion marshall has the best programs and courses offered for my path and I am so glad I chose Marshall!

Marshall University is fantastic. The dorms are good for the most part, but the internet on campus is rather unreliable if you try to study in your dorm. All the professors I have met so far are fair and understanding, and we have many resources to help students out like a Counseling center that is free to students and a Textbook Loan Program where you can borrow textbooks for three hours without having to pay a ton of money. You are safe when you are on campus, but it is not recommended that you stray from 5th Avenue or go past the train tracks by the Sheets gas station down the road.

I like it here, it gives me a home away from home feeling. I've met some great people here that I will know for the rest of my life. I've also had some experiences, such as concerts, that I will always remember. Life here isn't bad at all, some classes can be a little bit hard though, depending on your major.

Marshall University is like a home away from home. The campus is beautiful and I can get to class in no time. The professor are easy to talk to and access to resources are a breeze. The Memorial Student Center is always buzzing with students around the fountain.

I love the campus and the people around campus. There is always something to get involved in when you have nothing to do. The classes are better than I expected. The professors stay active in your life and they all hope you get better in everything you do.

Overall, marshall is a decent place, reason being is because it not too good at some aspects (off campus housing), but its also not bad either. I wouldn’t rate it as one of the best academically, nor would i rate it the worst. It varies by major (as it would for most schools), for example marshall is better overall for nursing, but not so great for art. It offers a decent education for a reasonable price. It is also in the middle of Huntington wv, also known as “the Detroit of West Virginia” for various reasons (drugs and shootings). The streets are very narrow and it can be easy to get lost looking for the campus, especially if you are not from the city. Even though marshall is located in the heart of a city, it doesnt feel like you’re in one, more like a park. You dont often see non collage student/staff on campus, or if you do they’re walking their dog. Marshalls campus is very safe in my opinion, considering they have their own police department. Marshall is very much aware that they are located in a not-so-safe city, so they are tying their best to make us feel safe. They do this by adding these beacon like things all over campus. You press a button and it sends the police to the location. I dont think ive ever not felt safe on campus except when school is not in session (winter break and such) or crossing the street. As for the shops around campus, there are few that i know of (as in off campus but still near) there is a dominos, subway, wendys, mcdonals within a 5 minute walk if campus. I also know of a movie theater nearby the campus. As for the food thats actually on campus, there not much to say. There used to be two dining halls (buffet), but they closed down the good one (towers) to put in some restaurants you have to spend cash on and not meal swipes. The ‘bad’ dining hall is harless. Many students have gotten food poisoning/ found dead bugs in food (including myself). As if that wasn’t bad enough, they serve the same hing everyday, no variation what so ever, and very little food for the late nighters (people studying late and deciding to get food) Now compared to the ‘good’ dining hall (towers) they had alot of variation , very few food poisoning/dead bugs in food, nicer staff, and plenty of food for the late nighters. As for housing, well they’re alright. Some housing is great (freshman dorms), but after that it goes all downhill. There is towers which has communal bathrooms and one washer/dryer per floor) there Is buskirk (all female) which is similar to towers, then theres this one i forgot its name (starts with a g? Whatever its near the c-store) which doesnt have a/c and communal bathrooms, lastly theres commons. Its the most expensive of the housing and one of the nicest. It has bathrooms per floor along wits its own lobby and you share it with 3 people, but you all get your own rooms. There are also a few abandoned buildings on campus, which isnt good, so overall its decent. Tl;dr Pros: -feels like a park -safe -food -LGBTQ friendly -small classes Cons: -food -location -decisions they made -abandoned buildings

A great school. My family has all gone here and I’m excited for my child to attend in the future! They have amazing programs, and the professors I have had have been extremely helpful. I can’t wait to become an alumni of this school like the rest of my family has!
