I Transferred to St. Mary's from Salisbury University, and it was quite possibly one of the best decisions I've made in regards to my college career so far. The campus is absolutely gorgeous, the teachers dedicated to the students, and the community has been nothing but accepting toward me, as a student of color. One can find a place for themselves within the many student run organizations or athletic offerings, both inter and intramural. The food options are limited, as the school is pretty small, but everything offered at the dining hall is healthy and diverse. All my professors so far have been passionate about there subjects and more than ready to assist any students struggling or interested learning more about a given subject.
I loved my time at St. Mary's. I can't imagine having spent my four years anywhere else.
Tons of student employment opportunities. I didnt get financial aid but I had three part time, on campus jobs which helped a lot.
Professors were always incredibly helpful. Some of the courses are definitely tough academically, but its the honors college of Maryland. Thats what you signed up for. You'll never be taught by a TA or graduate student, always the professor.
Almost everyone lives on campus because housing is really great. All the dorms have WiFi and AC now. Upperclassman housing is super nice.
Campus is BEAUTIFUL!!! Crime is non existent and people feel comfortable reporting sexual assault when it does happen. Never once felt unwelcome. People throw parties in their houses and just open the doors for anyone to come in.
TL;DR Best decision I ever made. Never regretted it for a second.

I graduated from SMC in 2014 and couldn't be happier with how the curriculum and professors prepared me to be a professional. The college puts a huge emphasis on critical thinking, public speaking, and information literacy that has set me apart in job interviews and selection for office projects. After talking to friends who attended other colleges, I definitely was challenged to achieve more as an undergraduate student. Now as a graduate student pursuing a master's in International Relations, I was much less intimidated by the transition to graduate level work than my classmates. Additionally, the community is very welcoming and the campus is beautiful.
