Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

If you are going there And are wanting to join Athletics I would truthfully recommend looking for a different college. This college Is struggling financially with athletics and had to cut programs in order try and make the other programs better which has not worked. Even when being on saint mary's campus things seemed rubbed down. When I would go to the dining area to grab gluten-free stuff the fridge that had all of the allergen food would be empty, so a lot of the time I would either have to buy my own food or I would just end up not eating at all. The campus is very old And if you like the old kind of scenic vibe then you might like this campus, but the thing I only really found good about this college was the scenery and the bluffs, the rest was okay but not really the best, and now switching to a different college has showed me a different side of what Saint Mary should have been like.

Fantastic, safe campus and college for our sons. Surrounding community is absolutely beautiful and offers many opportunities to be outdoors.nRecommend

I was supposed to be in the accelerated online MBA program but unfortunately when they enrolled me in classes they failed to put my in the fast track that I was told I would be in when I was accepted. I was told I would be done in October now I am being told that is impossible. I was told I could have been done sooner if I mention this in the summer that I wanted to be enrolled in extra classes. So being told from the start that the accelrated was 14 months ending in October and then verified this was true in the September when I was considering a new job was not enough. I guess you need to check in daily about enrollment with multiple people? They take 0 responsibility for this mismarketing. They continue to say it's my fault for not asking to accelerate the accelerated program in April, had i known that at the time I would have. I talked to others that were also told that it was a 14 month program August-October and were schocked when I told them this news. I was told in a call today though that if this financially hurts me that I can wait two semesters to afford it, which when you don't have a job due to this error I don't see how two semesters makes money appear, I guess I missed this in my finance courses from here. This is a huge set back for me at my job and financially they don't really seem to care that they made a massive mistake and are taking no steps to help fix this. They also enrolled me in the wrong specialty and signed me up for the wrong special topics course, many of my classmates had the same mistake happen. It has been about a year since I notified them that my speciality was wrong and I am not told the change is pending. I also found out a special topics course in the first fall semester was never enrolled in correctly, and that is why I had two in the spring semester unlike any one else. Again they tried to blame that on me and said I withdrew from the special topics, I never did. The courses themselves and the teachers were fine. If you do this program constantly check in and don't trust you are correctly enrolled in courses or that you will complete it as promised. There are also a ton of group projects in almost every class along with asynchronous components the teacher scheduled. I had to take a lot of time off in order to do the group assignments and meet with the teachers. It is a huge hassle and everyone is on a different schedule. You can't say a program is on your own time with this amount of group projects. If you want somewhere you can trust and somewhere you can br proud to graduate from look elsewhere, I wish I did.

Great school! This review is for the Winona campus so keep that in mind if you are looking for info about the Twin Cities campus. Honestly, I loved the school--it is quite small but has a great supportive and positive learning community. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the vast majority of my professors and I also really liked the campus. It is small but located in the bluffs on the west edge of Winona. There are a lot of really great hiking trails on/around campus and the local beauty is hard to beat. While I attended a couple of other schools (UW-L, University of Minnesota) St. Mary's is by far my favorite!

I'm doing a collage fair and i choose this school because I did research and this school has a hole lot of people that graduate and sum of them are law enforcement officers.
