best place on earth:)
Overall 4.8
This is an incredibly school. I love absolutely everything about it. Even as an atheist, I never felt that the theological aspect was too oppressive. All the clubs are awesome, the professors are super caring, and the classes are interesting but not too difficult (provided you put in the work). I'm so sad my time here was cut short by COVID-19.

Saint Anselm College does a great job of providing a comprehensive education, and it has a significant reputation for the high quality of its graduates, particularly for its nursing program. Classes are small, professors are knowledgable, accessible, and helpful. Students are friendly and the school prides itself as open and welcoming to everyone.

SAC is such an amazing school! I'm studying Politics, and I get to work for the debates in the midterms and even in presidential primaries. It's Catholic, but they're super accepting of everyone. The monks are awesome, the professors all really care, and the campus is stunning. Love it here, best college ever.

Saint Anselm is a really a tough school and it is a GPA killer school, so if you don't care about your GPA but still want to learn Saint C, sorry Saint A is for you.
