Although the campus is extremely small, it has its perks! The campus is beautiful and the view of Sebago Lake is stunning. The short walk across campus makes the Maine winter months much easier, as well as helping us late risers get to classes on time. The sports teams all excel, but we could use more spectators at the games! Our academics are wonderful because our professors really get to know their students. The academic accommodations office is amazing at getting students the extra assistance they need in order to achieve greatness.

Saint Joseph's College is both a intense learning environment and an environment where you just want to leave it for good sometimes. Often times I find myself hoping for a little guidance but have nowhere to turn in regards to academics. The scene of Saint Joes is spectacular, right on Sebago Lake and it is a great place to grow academically and socially. But as a student currently, I feel trapped by the things that certain programs are maintaining. Students are constantly putting in the work and effort to maintain the grades they desire but some professors are not helpful and blame the students. I for one am a hard worker, when I say something is wrong it usually is.
I love my school! Beautiful campus and wonderful, tight nit community. Its always a wonderful thing knowing that you have resources right on campus.
