Saint Anselm College is an amazing institution. It has a rigorous academic curriculum that challenges students. The on campus monks provide a sense of respect and community, whether its in the classroom or in the pub. The campus is constantly trying to be better and is always moving forward. Not to be undersold, the food on campus is amazing! Although the general student body is fairy homogeneous and middle class, there is an ongoing push for diversity.

I absolutely love Saint Anselm! I've had great professors in classes I've enjoyed. My favorite thing about the school is that everyone is knows each other and it is a tight knit community, because it is a small school. However, that being said, we still have opportunities that allow each of us to be a part of something bigger than ourselves; whether it's on a city level through volunteering in the Manchester community or on a national level through working for the presidential debates!
The only reason you would want to go to this school is if you are very religious or you want to go into nursing. The campus is alright, it is small but it is a small school. Some of the facilities are extremely outdated for what you are paying for the school. It is needlessly expensive. The student culture was terrible, if you did not live on campus, you were a complete outcast. I have to say the food is actually pretty good.
