Marist students rate Marist in the Top 25 among multiple categories, including top dorms, happiest students, and students who love their college, as reported by The Princeton Review's guide for The Best 388 Colleges for 2024. This distinction was earned based on students’ answers to the survey questions, “How do you rate residence halls/on-campus housing?” and if they are both independently happy and satisfied with their school.  At Marist, student life is distinguished as being both vibrant and picturesque, with everything from Division I athletics, Greek life, community service – and direct access to the Hudson River.
