Robyn - 01/31/2021

The faculty are great, but the school itself isn’t great at communication and I’m very disappointed in my master’s program in a lot of ways. I ended up here because it fit best with my schedule, but it is poorly run by the administration. The adjunct professors are incredible, though.

Keyla - 08/27/2020

College of Saint Mary is an excellent school with great facilities! They have the Achievement Center where you can go for coffee, the library, a free tutor, or even just a quiet place to get your work done. They also have great food with many different options. They always have something for everyone!

Ciara - 08/20/2020

I love the environment inside and outside of the classroom. With it being an all girls undergraduate the women there are very friendly as well as involved in the school and extracurriculars. I am excited to see where College of Saint Mary leads me in the future.

Anna Grace - 01/13/2020

College of Saint Mary is a great college. This institution is all about empowering women and shaping one into community leaders. CSM is a very inclusive campus, and that is something I was looking for when I was applying to colleges. There are countless organizations to join, and they even allow one to start their own organization if it isn't already an organization. Another reason I chose CSM is because of their outstanding nursing program. At CSM, they prepare one to enter the health profession. Once one as graduated from CSM, some work for the most prestigious hospitals, healthcare facilities and private institutions across the nation. College of Saint Mary is a great college. I recommend it for women who are interested in receiving a top notch education, but also looking to become leaders in their community.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would say, go solely to the college that has the most to offer you. You need to look at the entire picture. Not just the academics, not only athletics, and not just the social scene, or so on. All of those things need to be weighed out in your mind equally. They all are a huge part of your college life. You need to be happy with each part. Sometimes it's hard to find the whole package, but you just have to use your best judgment and follow your heart. You can't choose a college to please anyone but yourself. You're going to be pushed and pulled every which way, but it's ultimately your choice. The student is going to be the one making all the new experiences at this college; they must be able to enjoy this experience. These four years are supposed to be some of the best years of your life. This is when you are beginning your life as a young adult; this is when you are making lifelong friends, and possibly a life partner. This is the road to starting your new, more grown up life. Make every moment count!
