I am excelling at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, that is what makes a school a good match for me. Since I toured Saint Mary's earlier this year, I envisioned myself liking the school and so far everything is going well... I like the student teacher ratio, how easy it is to interact with staff, peers, and teachers, and lastly, the opportunities I am given here which have helped me begin building connections with Alumnus. I am happy this is a school I can only speak good things about when my parents call to check in on me.

  7. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about this school is that it costs a lot to go here and they can only help you out so much. Most loans and scholarships are based on the idea that your parents will be paying for your schooling and that is not necessarily true. I could use a lot more help fiancially and I know that I will not revievce that because my parents are well off.

  8. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    Unfortunately it is a small school in a small town, which leaves few choices for things like groceries or finding school supplies. Also, the school is seperated from the main town so in order to reach almost anything you need a car. It is possible to walk to some of the closer places but you can't get too much since you have to walk back and it does take a bit of time.

    Saint Mary?s is unique because we are located in the bluffs and you can literally walk out of your dorm and be surrounded by it. Our school will let you rent mountain bikes, canoes, and other equipment that will let you experience the outdoors, which other locations you just can?t do that. The really unique thing about our school is our professors. They have barbeques and invite their students to their house, and have a good time. Which allows you to get to know them personally, where in other schools you would just get to know them professionally.
