Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Junior

I transferred to Mount Saint Mary College in 2020, and so far, I have had an excellent experience. Even though I transferred during the pandemic, I had a smooth transfer. Mount Saint Mary College took all of my credits from my previous college, and I was able to choose my classes after being accepted quickly.

Freshman

It is a small school with many different majors and resources available for academic support. I like the beautiful campus.

Senior

I really enjoyed my time so far at the Mount. All of the professors are nice and willing to help you succeed at whatever class you are taking. There are a lot of activities for students to do, from Bingo, food trucks and free give aways. The dorms are nice and after freshman year you can get a single if you wish and most end up being the size of a double still.

Alumni

The Mount isn’t just a campus, it is a true community. There’s a strong sense of belonging, and it truly feels like a family. I loved how approachable and encouraging the faculty were, and how many opportunities there were to get involved, grow, and feel seen.

Student

My overall experience at Mount Saint Mary College has been mostly positive. The campus is beautiful and has a peaceful vibe, and the small class sizes made it easier to connect with professors and get help when needed. I’ve really appreciated how supportive some of the faculty are, especially in the nursing and health sciences departments.

Student

The campus environment is also very welcoming, with numerous events and activities that foster a strong sense of community. The facilities are top-notch, providing everything needed for both academic and personal growth. Overall, MSMC has provided me with an enriching and fulfilling experience that I would highly recommend to anyone considering joining this wonderful institution.
