The University of Mary is a leadership academy that focuses not only on academics, but also on your faith. The small campus life helps with one on one interaction with your professors. I feel so welcomed and at home at the University of Mary, it is the only place I toured and applied to because I fell in love with it on my first visit.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
When looking for a school I recommend going with your heart and on what feels right. Yes your parents may try to push you toward other schools, but if you get the gut feeling that this is where you should be then go for it!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The University of Mary is a very high academic school. In my Athletic Training program it is not easy. I average four tests a week, which means I'm studying every day. Our school encourages our studies by having the library open until ten and during finals week we have a studyathon where students can study in a quiet area and win prizes every hour while they study.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love dorm life at the University of Mary. We have six different dorms at our University. I live in St. Scholastica, which is a woman's faith based dorm. This dorm helps you grow in your faith. If that's not the thing for you there are other dorms that aren't faith based too. Almost every weekend our RA's put on activities for us.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at the University of Mary is not my favorite but I am a picky eater. I wish we had a wider variety of food to choose from. Chart wells is who caters our food, I can tell they are trying to improve their dining. It takes one step at a time.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Every weekend or every other weekend resident life puts on activities so students have something to do other than going home and partying. The activity I enjoy the most are the swing dances. We also have winter formals, Halloween dance, hypnotists come, comedians, movie nights, all campus pumpkin carving, and winter fest.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
At the beginning of the year all the clubs and activities on campus have a day where they have booths so students can see what they would like to join. I'm involved with Vera Forma which is a group for Catholic females to grow in their faith. We do things out in the Bismarck community that benefit the community. I'm also involved in focus bible study.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The University of Mary is a very safe campus. We have campus security driving around campus 24/7 and the beginning of the year the Resident Assistance make sure all freshman have campus security number in case they get into an unsafe situation.
