Categories Comments What to do for fun At College of Saint Mary they have plenty of activities to keep you busy! On campus, there is a theater, gallery, cafe, study area, computer lab, pool, workout facility, and plenty more! There are also community activities to help others out. Otherwise, Omaha is a busy town, there are always fun ways to keep busy!
Food and Dining Food and dining is very important for health and social reasons. You get to sit at tables with friends, or make new friends while eating! It is a great way to socialize while eating to keep your body nourished. There are lots of options every day to choose from, so you will not have to worry about getting sick of the same thing every day.
Dorm Life I believe everyone should experience at least one year of dorm life. You learn a lot about yourself, you make new friends, and you get to experience living on campus and getting the benefits that the campus has to offer you. After experiencing one year of living on campus, you can cross dorm life off of your college bucket list.
Academic Rigor Academics is the key to school. We do go to school to learn, which means academics. So, we have to keep our academics up to be able to do well in school, which will teach us other life lessons to better ourselves outside of school.
Tips for prospective students My tips for prospective students would be to find things that you enjoy, ways to help you relax, and keep yourself busy. Have fun while in college, but remember to keep academics your priority. Also, do not be afraid to ask for help! Anything you can do to better yourself, do it!
In three sentences I believe that College of Saint Mary is an excellent college for any young woman to attend. The college has high expectations for every student, pushing that student to do their best in school which will benefit the student both inside and outside the classroom. The high expectations will help the student improve themselves, and who wouldn't want to improve themselves?

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus has security patrolling 24 hours a day and the dorms require an access card to enter and to go up and down the elevators. Also, since it is an all female campus males have to be escorted at all times.
Great for these types of students This college is great for students who want to focus on furthering their education. This school is for students who want to go into the medical field, become a nurse, own a business, and much more.
Bang for the buck College of Saint Mary is not a cheap school, but the education you receive is worth it. Also, the reputation the school has will allow you to pursue in almost any career you choose with your degree.
What to do for fun There are many things to do for fun on and off campus. The campus is located near a variety of stores and strip malls. Getting to know your peers will allow you to find an unlimited amount of things to do for fun.
Food and Dining The lunchroom is served like a buffet would. There is a salad bar, cereal, toast, bagels, the main course, soup bar, dessert, fountain drinks, coffee, tea, variety of juice, and much more. Every day the main course changes. It can be anything from meatloaf to chicken cordon bleu.
Dorm Life The dorms I live in feel like home. I am living in the new Mothers Living and Learning Building. The whole building consist of single mothers and there children. The mothers love it and so do the kids.
Academic Rigor The difficutly of your academics depends on how well you organize your work, take notes, and participate in classroom conversations. The more you study the better your chances are for success. If you slack off and don't do your work the classes are not easy to catch up in.
Tips for prospective students I would encourage any female to attend the College of Saint Mary if she is serious about furthering her education. There is nothing better than going to school, loving it, and making a future for yourself while getting to learn about yourself at the same time. You will make amazing friendships, and leave the college of Saint Mary with not only a degree, but a sisterhood.
In three sentences College of Saint Mary has been a wonderful experience thus far and I hope the next three years of me attending can be just as wonderful. They has been very helpful with me and my son, and are very generous beings. I love the atmosphere and feel welcomed by everyone.

Tips for prospective students Tips for prospective students are to enjoy your college career. Expect to spend time studying, but be able to balance school, homework, social, and leisure occupations of your life. That balance will help you succeed in your college career and beyond.
In three sentences College of Saint Mary is a smaller university in a large city and has all the amenities of larger universities. The smaller classes allows for more one on one assistance from the professors. The professors here at CSM are truly here to help you succeed, and I am blessed to have had the opportunity to attend.
