    Will learn a lot

    The teachers and other staff members really love what they do, and all of the students enjoy being there. It is a wonderful learning environment and everybody is excited to learn and willing to help you learn.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is beautiful; there's mountains everywhere. The campus is impeccably clean, well kept, and well lit, and it also appears very safe. There are tons of fun activities planned every weekend and plenty of things to do around campus during the week. You will never be bored.
    Bang for the buck

    It's a private school, so it is a bit pricey, but they take great care of their students, staff, and campus. The food is awesome, all areas are clean, the campus is beautiful, there are activities for every type of student. They have extraordinary professors who love what they do, incredible Study Abroad program, as well as an extremely helpful Financial Aid office.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early, it's your best bet for getting in. Get good grades and take challenging classes! Every college loves a kid with some brains in their head.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who like smaller class sizes and a more personalized learning experience. Students who desire to know their professors on a personal as well as professional basis. Students who enjoy cold weather and lots of snow. Students who love winter sports. Students who want a well rounded education taught by top of the line professors in a warm environment. Students who want to feel at home. :]

    Am learning a lot

    Being a Sophomore at St. Mikes I LOVE IT! Here I can be an athlete and still get a high level of academic achievement! Even if your schedule does not fit your sports schedule these teachers love their job soooo much that they will bend over to help you! As long as you show your interest and involvement in the classroom they will come in before/after their office hours to help you make sure that you understand/know/ and can use the knowledge from class outside of the classroom! I have by far paid more attention in my classes the past two years just as much, if not more then in some of my high school classes!
    Am enjoying being here

    I LOVE IT! Being a skier the mountains are WONDERFUL! Campus gets a lot of snow, and so many different people are always on campus! Ever since I arrived on Orientation Weekend a year and a half ago I have felt like I've been at home! Everyone is so welcoming and it truly feels that these new faces are welcoming you to your new home you'll be spending the next four years!
    Bang for the buck

    Coming from a small town, and public high school the thought of a small private, Catholic college was intimidating! With the prices of a private education being quite a bit more risky then a public, SMC is by far the place to be!

    With the thought of being in debt, I am still so happy that I chose to come here with this loving and accepting environment!
    Tips for prospective students

    DON'T BE AFRAID! If you think you wouldn't fit in at a small school do not be alarmed! Saint Mike's is such an accepting school to all sorts of students!

    Don't let the cost bug you down! Even though college is getting pricier these days, this school is worth it! Just think of the opportunities you will receive from St. Mikes and the amazing opportunities you will attain from being a Saint Michael's College graduate!
    Great for these types of students

    If you are a student who wants a small classroom, being a name and a face rather than a number in a huge lecture hall _ Saint Mikes is for you!

    If you are an athlete who wants to be on the good side of the professors, St. Mikes is for you!!! So many of the professors follow along with the sports teams, and love to have them in class (even if they do tease you!)

    If you are an 'outdoors person then Saint Michael's is DEFINITELY the place for you... We are close to Lake Champlain, Smugglers Notch Ski Resort, Stowe Resort and manyyyy other mountains and hiking trails!

    For those girls who love to shop:: Public Transit takes you right down to Church Street where the best little boutiques and mall is!

    Saint Michael's is an all-around school that has something for everyone to fall in love with!

    In three sentences

    Saint Michael's College has proved to be the perfect college for me. The small class sizes, friendly students, and caring & involved professors have made the transition to college life very easy and enjoyable. Living in the beautiful
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! Join clubs, attend talks and performances, and in general, make a lot of friends because you'll know get to see them all the time. And definitely buy a season pass to Smuggler's Notch mountain!
    Academic Rigor

    All classes are challenging, even liberal studies requirements, but the workload is very manageable and teachers are very willing to be flexible. In my time at Saint Mike's, I have learned very valuable lessons about subjects I didn't even know I'd be interested in.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are well kept and huge compared to many state schools. The suites and townhouses are great places to live as an upperclassman.
    Food and Dining

    The food service is pretty good, and the servers are very friendly. The only downsides are the limited dining hall hours and there isn't a huge variety.
    What to do for fun

    Everything! Go hiking, skiing, mountain climbing, visit downtown Burlington, attend a concert, see a play, volunteer, enjoy outside, and just hang out with all of the great friends you'll definitely make.
    Bang for the buck

    Though the school is a private college, they offer many scholarship and work study opportunities, as well as tutoring jobs, and jobs on campus. There are many benefits of paying a little more to go to ski here, such as the extremely inexpensive ski pass, numerous free events, and unlimited meal plan for those living in dorms.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    P Day is the last Saturday before finals and to celebrate one last hurray, there are free local food vendors, live music, events and even inflatable bouncy houses and more! Its the one day of the year that everybody on campus looks forward to and participates in.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who like small classes, knowing their professor well; also, those who love the outdoors, the mountains, and all things nature. Anyone who wants to see 20 people they know well just on the walk to class.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are great volunteer organizations like MOVE and DREAM, as well as environmental and social activist clubs, science clubs, wilderness clubs, numerous singing groups, and a great theater club. There is a very strong sense of community and participation, and most people join a club at one point during their stay at Saint Mike's.
    Greek Life

    None! Though some of the houses where sports teams live feel a little bit like fraternities.
    Campus Safety

    Though I am naturally a safety-conscious person, I have never once felt unsafe on the Saint Michael's Campus. Our campus security are friendly and are only looking to keep up safe, not get us into trouble. People often walk around campus late at night but don't have to worry because of the patrolling security officers and well-lit campus. Security is also very receptive and helpful if you do have an issue with safety.

    Am learning a lot

    Even though I haven't declared a major yet, with the broad liberal studies requirements, you learn much more than you think you will.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it. There is never a dull moment & the friends you make are for a lifetime.
    Bang for the buck

    It is very expensive, I have student loans and a lot of them! However, I plan on staying all four years and have no doubts about it, it's worth every penny.
    Tips for prospective students

    Relax! This college is the best of the college experience, there is something for everyone and definitely don't be afraid to be yourself.
    Great for these types of students

    Whether you like shopping in downtown Burlington, a day at the beach, or a day at the mountain, smc is for you. You are a person, rather than a number. If you're a goal oriented person with never ending ideas smc could be for you, but it's also for laid back dreamers or even up tight over achievers; I've seen just about every type of person at this school and I'm sure everyone loves, loved, or will love it the same.
