Marist College Island

So as someone from the Husdon Valley and someone who drives past Marist College on a regular basis, when I saw they had their own Island I had to stop and see it.

Wow, what a beautiful place. From the trees and flowers to the gas laterns lighting the walk ways, everything looks nice. There are also several fountains and a bridge that connects the town to the college.

Now I'm not a Marist grad or teacher... but I would not mind teaching one day, but I had to get a hat and shirt to support the local college. They had a small shop with clothing branded with the Marist logo and name. It was great to shop for some stuff from the college in SL.

There were also some other shops, like the Dutchess County Wine Store. They had a few note cards about some local wines and a free wine glass (red and white). That was just in the "town" side of the island. Many of the small building are currently empty and I'm very interested to see what other shops from the Hudson Valley end up in here.

The College side of the island looks more like a traditional college. As I walked around inside the college building I stumbled into the server room... my only question would be where are all the wires? It is the cleanest server room I've ever seen. :-)

The College has several large rooms with chairs for lectures as well as smaller areas for meetings.

As I continued to wonder around the island I noiced a light house, monorail, dock and with boats, lots of open space, and signs that seem to seperate the island into sections; North, South, East and West.

I took a few pictures because I love to document where I've been in SL with photos. If you have not been to Marist in the real world, then taking a trip to Marist in SL is fantastic. The RL Marist is a fantastic campus and the SL one is just as nice.
