Review of Saint Joseph's College of Maine

from Portland, ME

Describe your college in three sentences.

The atmosphere is community-oriented. Very small, close-knit community. Almost like continuing high school as it is a very small community of people.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

You will love St. Joseph's if you like small schools. It has a beautiful campus with a lake. I would recommend taking advantage of these things that others may not be aware of.

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

I found Saint Joe's curriculum challenging and appropriate for grade level. I didn't find any courses too difficult, definitely challenging, but manageable.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I loved O'Connor hall! The dorms are great and not too small.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafeteria definitely needs improvement. More options would be a good start!

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

Portland is only about 20 minutes away, so going into town is fun. Also, every restaurant, bank, shopping center is right nearby for convenience. When the weather is nice the beach down at the lake is beautiful and lots of fun.

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

A little over-priced for what it offers.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Sebago Lake.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students interested in nursing, liberal arts, or education. Also, anyone who likes a small community similar to high school.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are tons of clubs and activities going on every single day.

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

The security building is in the center of campus. The security guards patrol in their cars and by foot 24/7. Very safe campus!
