“I love Marshall’s Ohio‑River‑town feel, how many clubs and sports events make everyone feel like one family, and how easy it is to get close to professors, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the limited nightlife, the slower‑paced town vibe, and the way everyone seems to know your business were all things that felt more intense once I stopped visiting and started living there.”
