Couldn't find anything via searchbar and just wanted some suggestions for schools with adequate marine biology programs. And on a side note, I have been searching using college board and stuff like that but i was looking for more personal experiences. thanks ns

my brother is going in to roger williams (in rhode island) as a freshman for marine bio. i don't know much, but they have a yacht and other shit especially for their program so i guess its sick. and i know the university of connecticut's avery point has a good program (down in groton) for marine bio and shit like that. right on the water and stuff. i don't have any personal experience, but i know those are good schools for it. good luck

roger williams does have a really good marine biology program, two of my friends are in it. its in bristol RI pretty much surrounded by water where they do a lot of trips out into the water. its also not far from woods hole MA near the base of cape cod which is a research facility that does tons of things with marine biology (boston university also does a marine biology program through woods hole).
university of maine and university of new hampshire also offer good programs with marine biology.

Have a few friends who did marine bio at UNH and liked it a lot.  Know a couple of the professors cause I grew up with their kids and they are pretty awesome people.  real laid back, funny as hell, and super smart.

Is marine biology another one of those super difficult to get into unemployable degrees?

I'm not sure if you are looking at Canadian Universities or not.
But if you are I have heard great things about both UBC and University of Alberta.
UBC, UVic, U Alberta and U Calgary all offer courses at Bamfield Marine Sciences Center. It's this remote little research center on Vancouver Island that is really cool.
