Student and Staff Numbers
- Students: The total number of students enrolled at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota is 4,701. For Saint Mary's University of San Antonio, the total enrollment is 3,180. For Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the total enrollment is 6,415
- Undergraduates: The total number of students enrolled at Saint Mary's University is not specified in the provided sources. However, Saint Mary's University in Nova Scotia has a total enrollment of 6,415 students, with 92% being undergraduate students. For Saint Mary's University in Texas, the total enrollment in 2022 was 3,253 students, but the breakdown by undergraduate and graduate students is not provided. For Saint Mary's College in Indiana, the total enrollment in 2022 was 1,519 students, with no specific breakdown given. Therefore, without more specific data, it is difficult to provide an exact number of undergraduate students enrolled at Saint Mary's University. However, for the Nova Scotia institution, it would be approximately 5,900 undergraduate students (92% of 6,415). If you need a more precise answer, additional data would be required
- Postgraduates: The exact number of postgraduate students enrolled at Saint Mary's University is not provided in the sources.

For Saint Mary's University in Texas, the enrollment data is not explicitly broken down by graduate and undergraduate students, but it mentions that 926 degrees were awarded across all programs in 2022. Given the available information, it is reasonable to estimate that the number of postgraduate students is a significant portion of the total enrollment, but a precise number is not provided. Therefore, I can only give an approximate range based on the available data: **approximately 1,000 to 3,000 postgraduate students**. However, this is a rough estimate and should be taken as an approximation rather than an exact figure
- Administrative Staff: The provided sources do not give a comprehensive count of all administrative staff at Saint Mary's University. However, based on the information available, it appears that there are at least 15 administrative staff members listed in the Facilities Management and Administration sections of the university. Therefore, a rough estimate would be 15 or more. For a more accurate count, additional information from the university's full administrative directory would be needed

I came from BC to Saint Mary's; best decision I ever made. Haven't had one 'bad' professor yet and I am in my fourth year. They all are so smart and know what they're talking about. The small class sizes are awesome and you always walk by someone you know on campus. If you like to party, so so many clubs downtown. Point pleasant park is super nice

Everything except the food and the internet sometimes is fine. They should a whole variety of new food. And the dockside sucks on weekends. They don't have proteins for breakfast in weekends which sucks

Runs like a ponzi scheme (just rely on international student intake) that contributed to ruining canada. This university recently complained about the new policy changes of international student intake (which is going to be less)

Honestly, the courses are not that bad but the system at SMU is awful!! The science advising center is horrible and the way they speak to students is just so bad! same with the admission office!

Overall 1.8
The tuition fees are very expensive over here and the service is too slow and not good.
Overall 2
honestly, I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. It's obvious the school isn't really interested in the student experience and more interested in our money. spend a little more and go to another school.
