Julie PrinceClass of 2013Major: PsychologyMinor: SociologyCurrently a graduate student in social work

“Making the decision to go back to school after being out for 20 years was a difficult one. But I knew that in order to support my family on only one income, I would need a college degree. Ohio State Marion had everything I was looking for: close to home, majors I wanted, classes led by quality faculty, and had a small, liberal arts atmosphere, with the reputation that only The Ohio State University can offer.

I will admit I was a bit intimidated by the thought of being in a class with the younger, traditional-aged college students. With an average class size of only 20 or so, that worry was overcome quickly, as friendships were made and study groups formed. Many of my instructors taught not only in Marion, but also on the Columbus campus. I was truly getting an education worthy of The Ohio State University, and I was getting it at a fraction of the cost.

In 2013, I graduated magna cum laude with my bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in sociology. I knew that I wanted to take my learning (and income potential) to the next level, so I began pursuing a master’s degree in social work. In 2016, I will again stand on the field in Ohio Stadium and receive my MSW. I would not be where I am today without Ohio State Marion. The campus, faculty, staff, and students have been a constant support and I say, without any doubt, that I am proud to be a BUCKEYE!”
