REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingWhen I first came to Mount Saint Joseph, I felt uncomfortable and unconfident because I didn't know a lot about the field I was studying. Luckily for me the professors are kind and respect students and will do anything to help them succeed. Its not uncommon that professors will stay after class to help a student with a problem in the classroom or in life in general.
