Big Opportunity, Close-Knit Community: Marshall University provides you with a world of opportunity within a close-knit and nurturing environment. Classes are small (average size, 23 students) so you and your professor can get to know each other. We have living/learning communities in the residence halls so that you are close to people in similar majors. You will learn and experience more than you thought possible at Marshall, and you�ll be doing it with people who become your family away from home!

Safe, Secure and Compact Campus: With 22 full-time campus police officers who patrol campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our campus is among the safest in the nation. Our police officers offer 24-hour escort service on campus, so you never have to walk from the library to your room by yourself after a late-night study session.

Campus Location - Huntington sits on the mid-section of the scenic and historic Ohio River at the point where West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky meet. Our city is home to some 56,000 citizens.
