Case Study: Marist College

Decent Essays
Marist College is somewhere I can see myself pursuing my post highschool education. I first learned about Marist through a soccer competitor who will be attending Marist come fall of 2017. It was still early in my college search process when my school’s annual College Fair took place last year.

According to the statistics provided by Collegescorecard.ed.gov, Prairie State College consistently ranks lower than the national median.

    What draws me to Bates is it’s name. To be blunt, I would have never known about the institution. Not because I didn’t want to, but because no one around me ever mentioned it. Around the same time I started taking an interest to academics I was watching various shows, one being “Bates Motel”.
