i currently attend marian and i must say... i completely regret it. Expect TERRIBLE lecture.teachers alternate between schools so its pretty much teh same at either branch. Expect test questions that are not only out of your realm of practice but are sometimes not even covered in your book. Everyone i know that has been at the school for a long time HATES IT. i woudl AVOID this school at all cost. its not suprising that so many students are forced to repeat subjects and terms at this school cause the tests are ridiculous.For example one time a question came up on a test and the teacher said the answer to that question was "A". That same question came up on another exam from a different teacher and that teacher said the answer was "B" d marked everyone wrong despite the students protests. When we all explained that the previous instructor told us the answer was "A" they simply replied "in her class its A in my class its B" Stuff like that constantly happens at marian. Ive made the honor roll at this school but i must say the hell that you have to go through just to pass is not worth it. Im not a slacker by any means and i have was forced to repeat 1 subject. My class was 30 plus people, 10 were taking it for the second or third time, and only 4 passed 2 of which were repeaters. when lroughly 10% of a class passes and the rest fail i think that shows the students are not at fault. they promise you a 14 month program... that could easily turn into 18 months since they LAG on EVERYTHING! i DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL AT ALL!

i went there and its a tough program. you really have to compete with your fellow classmates to get high grades. we start big and then cutdown to a 15. so if you're really serious bout graduating and getting your license i suggest you think bout it. goodluck
