My experience at St. Mary’s University orientation was memorable. I didn’t know how comfortable a place that is four hours from what I call home can make me feel safe and welcomed. It gets me excited and makes me less nervous for the next chapter in my life. The surroundings and environment of the university is so beautiful that it’s my new lock and home screen. Not to mention the amazing faculty and staff that the university has. I was nervous that I wouldn’t have much help with the college process but St. Mary’s University made it super easy and understandable for both my parents and I. My parents and I are super pleased with all information that St. Mary’s University has provided, so pleased that my parents don’t feel as worried of letting there only daughter leave four hours away from them. Overall St. Mary’s University is great in all aspects.
The school itself is pretty small, but there's always something to do and the people are great. Professors are usually great and super helpful too!
This university is adequate. Although you get everything you need, it doesn't have anything extra. This university lacks the ability to get their students out of San Antonio and making a real large difference. The good thing about St. Mary's is that you do learn a lot in the classes due to their size. You have direct access to your professors and never struggle to find help. I wish St. Mary's would lower their tuition, especially their Room and Board (Super 7 has better rooms...)
