10 Students rated University of Saint Mary

Colt - 08/06/2024

The campus is small and inviting. Every person I've met here, student or staff are all friendly and helpful. We enjoy hanging out, worshiping, and learning together. The resident advisors are knowledgeable and do not hesitate to help you. They even helped me carry my stuff in on move in day. The campus is organized and clearly laid out. The tunnels that connect all the residence and classroom halls come in handy during inclement weather. You could wear shorts year-round if you wanted. The only downside is my dorm is outdated but they are in the process of building two new residence halls.

Eythen - 07/20/2024

I think overall it is a very good college to go to. The only real problem I am having with this school is the pricing. I have been here for over a year at this point and plan to go back again for my sophmore year. Looking into this next year I am ready to go though.

Jace - 12/31/2023

A great school for student athletes who want to get a good education. It has a great amount of minorities and different cultures, and has really been a great learning experience for me. The school also has great clubs and an amazing campus ministry that I am a part of.

Shelby - 04/08/2021

I have a deep love for the University as far as the classroom and my eagerness to start the nursing program. I feel like I am getting a good education, but the sports could use improvement in coaching and facilities. The price of the education is reasonable but the cost to live on campus is over the top for the quality of housing on campus.
