Saint Mary's has THE BEST professors and I always feel like I can ask for help with anything I need, I chose this school for its Ed program. Campus is beautiful and Winona is a great college town with a ton of activities for college aged kids. I've always felt very safe on campus!

I'm an International student pursuing master in GIS. I love the way my professors are teaching the subject. I hope this is my opportunity to prove myself.

Saint Mary's University is a small school with a very strong sense of community. All the faculty want you to succeed, and there are a lot of opportunities for you to grow if you take the initiative to do so. Pretty campus in a Midwestern town off the Mississippi. You'll feel at home here.

I would not go here. It is so boring and campus is always dead. I did not like how we had to pray in class and having brothers for teachers. The brother I had was rude and mean. I transferred to another private college and we do not have to pray in class or have brothers as professors and I love it.

Such a small campus. If you're not in theatre or on a sports team, good luck. Campus is so click and the drama is consuming and never-ending. The best thing about this school are their professors. That's the only positive I got for ya. SMU is like high school all over again.
Overall 1.9
Professors are okay, clubs rarely meet, tight-knit friend group. Nothing to do on campus, especially on weekends. No support for students (mental health) though it is a safe campus. Not a party school. Dorms are old and out of date, but paying $60-70k for less than mediocre experience. Wifi never works and food is over or undercooked.
