Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Current Student

Saint Michael's College is a great school. I've met a lot of amazing people so far and am excited to continue my journey over the next two years. All of the professors I've had are passionate about what they teach and truly care about each and every student, which is one benefit to a small school with small class sizes. My only issues are small things that are probably relatable to any college, the freshman dorms were not great but housing gets better as you move up. The dining options are limited and the food is not always the best. Otherwise, I think it's a decent enough school.

Alumni

Saint Michael's was a fantastic liberal arts education and an excellent springboard to law school and my career as an attorney. It is impossible to describe in an online review how Saint Michael's magically felt like "home" instantly for so many incoming freshman and how much of an impact something like the Edmundite tradition can have as the years pass by. I wouldn't hesitate to send my children to Saint Michael's someday.
