Saint Mary’s College Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Hannah

I wish that I had known the intensity of the academics here. There are a lot of classes that on has to take. There is a lot of pressure to do well here, but it is worth it.

Kara

I wish that I had known what my major would be. It makes it difficult because now that I've taken film classes at Notre Dame, I would love to major in Film, but SMC only has a film minor, which is brand new.

Katie

I wish I had known how amazing my experience would have been! I would have chosen to go to SMC first.

Liz

South Bend weather is terrible.

Sarah

They did not work well with study abroad

Krista

I wish I knew how to manage my money better.

Christina

This school is a lot more challenging than many give it credit for. We learn a lot in our small classes. I wish I had known that there is a little bit of animosity between Saint Mary's girls and the Notre Dame girls across the street. I don't know why, but there is. There are plenty of people on both campuses however that do not take part in this animosity, but be on the look out for those that do.
