Saint Joe's has a great community aspect. If you're looking for a place where you will recognize people in the library, in the dining hall and in your classes, this is the place for you.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Branch out of your comfort zone. My biggest mistake was hanging around only with my friends from high school. Get involved in things your friends aren't necessarily involved in and meet new people.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Saint Joe's will give you what you're paying for, and you aren't paying for an easy A.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
A new residence hall for freshman was just built in 2012 and is beautiful. All the freshman dorms are right on campus and in close proximity to everything. Living on campus is a great opportunity.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining hall food is OK. There is always food that is safe to eat, like pizza and an awesome salad bar and ice cream and cereal. Sometimes when the dining hall tries something new, it doesn't always come out the best. But it's typical for college food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Taking a train or bus into the city of Philadelphia takes less than 20 minutes and is $2 or $4. Manayunk, a town near by has shops and bars if you are older. Ardmore is right near as well. There is an array of activities on campus on weekends as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You get what you pay for. Everything you could ever need is on campus here, and everyone is on your side and is here to help you.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The hawk will never die! is the main tradition on campus. Basketball is really popular since we do not have a football team, and the hawk mascot cannot stop flapping throughout the whole game. It's a great environment and really shoes the community aspect of our school.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Outgoing people who love to embrace opportunities. There is not a typical student here, every type of person is represented here, regardless of what you are into.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Everything you could ever want to be into exists, and if it doesn't, you can start it.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
It is almost like a club here. There is no Greek housing so sororities and fraternities have meetings and participate in activities together without a house.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Public safety is awesome. They will pick you up from anywhere if you don't feel safe or don't feel like walking. They are always around keeping us safe. They have a district right on campus that looks like a real dispatcher.
