Saint Anselm College

Nearly all students live on campus, so it's always lively. The small size classes make it a better learning environment helping a close student-professor interaction and individualize attention.

One of the best parts of Saint A’s is the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, where you can meet leaders, attend events, and be part of national conversations.

If you are not a business or nursing major you may find the classes and professors outside of those departments are serviceable but leave a little to be desired. Overall Saint Anselm College is a great school, filled with great like-minded students all pursuing individual success in a great environment.

When I first came to Saint Anselm College, I will be honest and admit that I felt as though I attended the wrong college. I was struggling to make friends, I had a hard time locating my classrooms, and the work load piled up so quickly that I felt as though I was drowning.... After having one semester at Saint Anselm College under my belt, I love it here. I made a core group of friends, I mastered the layout of the campus, I accepted a job in the Psychology Department working as a teaching assistant, I joined an a cappella group, I've applied for a position in the Admission Office, I survived the first semester being in the Honors Program, and I attained Dean's List with a 3.58 GPA for the first semester.

The sense of community here on campus is by far my favorite part of the college campus. Everywhere you go, the students are either smiling or holding the doors open for another student. No other college I applied to had such a strong sense of community, both in and out of the classroom, which helped me realize that Saint Anselm College is most definitely the college for me.

The college is known for its tight-knit and welcoming community. The campus culture is supportive and friendly. Everyone knows each others, always saying hi to everyone and known to open doors for each other. A sense of belonging. the campus always has events going on and run deep in traditions like the gingerbread house making competition, spring weekend and banner raising.

The Core Curriculum challenges you to think deeply and grow beyond academics. The campus is full of students from all backgrounds, and the growing diversity makes the community more welcoming and vibrant. There are so many ways to get involved—through athletics, service, ministry, and clubs.

Going from a homeschooled student from kindergarten through high school I was very nervous to go to college, but Saint Anselm College took all my worries away immediately because of the high quality student life and comforting campus. The clubs and recreational organizations really make the school as great as it is.

Saint Anselm College has truly changed my life in the best way possible. From the moment I arrived, I felt part of a close, supportive community that wants you to succeed and become your best self. The professors are incredible—they care about you as a student and person, and the small class sizes help build real relationships.
