Amazing school! Great, challenging academic program and wonderful social and extracurricular life. SMCM prepared me for grad school and beyond and the river will always feel like home.
My experience at St. Mary's College of Maryland was exceptional.
The community of students, staff & professors are all focused on making St. Mary's a special place. The professors are engaging, challenging and present. As a liberal arts institution, the professors focus on developing the students' ability for critical analysis and thinking globally. As a public state college, I was able to get the quality of a private institution but at much more affordable rate. The location on the river is absolutely beautiful and creates a relaxed atmosphere where students can really be themselves. You walk around campus and everyone says hello. The campus community is very well connected and it would not be unusual to go sailing or have lunch with a professor. St Mary's College is truly a special place and even many years later I always feel as if I belong.

St. Mary's offers an unparalleled experience in higher education. As a professional in an area of law that requires a deeper understanding of scientific and other cross-disciplinary subjects, I know that the well-rounded liberal arts structure of St. Mary's laid the foundation for my success. The professors are devoted to teaching and challenging their students, which is generally unheard of these days. The small size and beautiful semi-rural campus setting mean that you will forge relationships that will last a lifetime while developing personally and academically.
