Marshall University is terrible. If you are from a northern state, like I was, don't come here. You may want to get away from home, but find somewhere like PSU, Pitt, BC, OSU, etc.

The kids there are all deadbeats; it doesn't feel like a university, it feels like a community college. The city is bleak and there's nothing to do. The parties consist of small house parties and frat parties. Basically, if you aren't in a frat, you don't party.

The teachers are the only positive thing that I can take from my Marshall experience. The teachers were friendly, knowledgeable, and accessible. The class sizes are pretty small, which was nice.

But, overall, there is nothing to do there and it slowly wears on you. This would be tolerable if the campus and surrounding area were nice, but they aren't. The place is depressing: the students are a bunch of losers from Ohio, WV, and Virginia—all of whom talk about and root for WVU, VT, and OSU—and the campus is bleak and boring.

Again, avoid going here at all costs, especially if you are from an urban city.

The dorms are terrible: small, bleak, and dead.
