College of Saint Mary has been a wonderful experience thus far and I hope the next three years of me attending can be just as wonderful. They has been very helpful with me and my son, and are very generous beings. I love the atmosphere and feel welcomed by everyone.
Desiree from Omaha, NE
Be sure to join at least one group or club. There are a plethora from which to choose! That being said, however, do not let activities interfere with academics.
Teresa from Omaha, NE
College of Saint Mary school is an all girl school that focuses on women's education and empowerment. It also has a single moms program and has a separate dorm for mothers and children to live at. Overall it is a good college to go to.
Andrea from Omaha, NE
I believe that College of Saint Mary is an excellent college for any young woman to attend. The college has high expectations for every student, pushing that student to do their best in school which will benefit the student both inside and outside the classroom. The high expectations will help the student improve themselves, and who wouldn't want to improve themselves?
