Review of Saint Anselm College

from Pembroke, NH

Describe your college in three sentences.

this is the perfect school for faithful republicans who want to become more active in politics. there is a large focus on political activity and the development of critical thinkers and active citizens. even the less popular majors are excellently staffed with enthusiastic professors.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

make sure you know exactly what you're getting into. know what classes will be required of you and meet professors from your prospective major. keep in mind that it is a religious school focused on liberal arts, so class requirements will be different from the norm. live on campus!!! many classes require tons of library research (although the library has amazing online resources easily accessible from home) and group work.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

if you want a challenge, they'll give it to you. there is an honors track that puts you with the brightest and the best in the school. the professors are always probing you for your thoughts and challenging you to think critically about solutions.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

the dorms are pretty typical, but much cleaner than what i've seen elsewhere. the heater always works and it's always cool enough in the fall and spring. the only downfall is the tragically slow wireless internet!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

davidson has a wide selection of food, but it all gets pretty boring after a while. luckily, students can go to the coffee shop if they're looking for a relief from the usual. a city bus also goes through campus for a quick escape to the red arrow diner or other downtown restaurants.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

there is an endless amount of school clubs and organizations. there are clubs for nearly every major, political affiliation and extracurricular activity. if you ever can't find something to do, you can apply for a budget to organize your own event on or off campus.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

there are trails through the woods when you feel trapped indoors after a long winter of studying. they're great for running or just a relaxing walk. perfect for the nature lover.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

none of your friends will have a monastery on campus, complete with a private cemetery! they have haunted tours of it every halloween.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

saint a's has a long tradition of political involvement. it's especially tailored for republicans, international relations majors, or future lawyers.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

there are clubs for almost anything you could think of. if you can't find one for you, you can always get a group of friends to start one.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

non-existent. there's alpha phi omega, a service organization.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

in any emergency, campus safety and security promptly responds. they make their presence known on campus at all times. you're never too far to call for help. there are plenty of emergency call booths with blue lights on top for easy visibility.
