With the recent transition to online learning professors have been very flexible with assignments due to the ongoing pandemic. The change of scenery has been difficult for students and professors, learning through zoom has its challenges but the professors make their best effort in interacting and engaging with students. Each professor provides a syllabus of what is to be turned in and gone over throughout the semester making the class as transparent as possible. Exams are usually taken using a lockdown professor which prohibits using any web browser and also records you while taking the exam. Professors are usually really good about answering questions through email and from experience the longest response has taken a little bit less than 24 hours.
It was a very welcoming experiencing, the teachers are helpful and there for the students needs. The overall experience and environment of being on campus is one that is second to none. The campus is relatively small but it helps to meet and create relationships with several students. In regards to activities there are several activities to partake in. There is Greek Life, Inter-murals, social clubs and student life events. Such events include concerts, trivia night, movies by the pool and several more. Due to the campus being a smaller size these events really bring the community together and create a network where people feel secure and safe being on campus. As a current student I would recommend attending St. Mary's as it is a place where you can accomplish your academic goals and forgo your planned expectations.
St. Mary's University is a small school with a wonderful faculty and staff. I have enjoyed being able to build relationships with each professor I have taken a class from, even in the classes that I did not enjoy. The campus community is quite small, but this allows you to build relationships with your peers because you most likely will have them in another class later on. Overall, an enjoyable experience so far!
