When I began my college search, one thing that was my top priority was finding a school that cared about their student's success, and needs. After my search, I found that Saint Mary's University of Minnesota was the school for me. The small tight-knit community allows the students and faculty to stay connected which is something that I need. One thing that was a bonus for me was that my school has a Student Success Center, which means that if you do encounter some academic troubles, you can seek help from academic advisors that can give solutions for your academic problems.
Being around my peers, they allow me to be myself and they allow me to have fun!

I love SMU! It has such an incredible community of people and I love the smaller amount of people. It makes it much easier to get to know many people and find friends as well as mentors. I love everything SMU has to offer. My only complaints would be the limited spots for classes, which makes it very hard to get into the classes you need for your major sometimes (although most professors are pretty understanding and willing to lift the class cap size), and the food on campus.
The campus is beautiful and the town is safe. There are a lot of things to do on campus like intramurals, clubs, and social events. The town of Winona is great for people who enjoy being outdoors and in nature due to easy access to bluffs, lakes, and the Mississippi River. Academics are tough yet manageable and a good challenge. Athletics are a large part of campus life, however, the athletic teams are not very successful and coaching is lacking. The strength and conditioning program for student athletes is above average and the best part of the athletic program at Saint Mary's.
