Categories Comments 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. :]
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.
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.
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.
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.

Categories Comments 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!
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!
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!
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!
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!

Categories Comments 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.
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.
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.
Am enjoying being here I love it. There is never a dull moment & the friends you make are for a lifetime.
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.

Categories Comments 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.
Greek Life None! Though some of the houses where sports teams live feel a little bit like fraternities.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very safe! Tons of security.
Clubs and Activities Tons of activities like video game club, swimming club, yoga classes, etc.
Great for these types of students Saint Micheal's is great for Catholic students. You can attend mass and the priest are awesome and can really entertain the young crowd.
Bang for the buck Saint Micheal's is up there for what they charge for tuition but you get what you pay for. Definitely worth every penny.
What to do for fun They host movies in Cheray Hall once a week at 8, free bus all over Burlington - your knight card is your pass. There are a lot of clubs. There is always a quad cookout from 11-1am on weekends for those who don't go home. They host activities in dorm halls as well....I can go on and on. Love it here!
Food and Dining Great food choices!
Dorm Life Awesome. I am an Honors student and they put us on a quieter floor. It's nice and there is not a lot of distractions.
Academic Rigor Can be very challenging depending on who you have for professors.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you meet with your student financial adviser to square up any financial aid you may receive. Sometimes things get lost in the shuffle and it's best to have everything set. If you get a room mate - get ahold of them ahead of time to prevent duplicate items. Especially big items like TV, Microwave and dorm fridge. :)
In three sentences The professors are really awesome! The dorms are not bad at all and if you are an Honors Student - the housing is amazing! The food is pretty good too. I love it here!

Categories Comments Campus Safety I've walked across campus by myself at night and I feel perfectly safe. The small campus is well lit and uses the blue light system. I never once felt unsafe at school last year.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Every Friday and Saturday night the school grills burgers and hot dogs in the quad. This is a great way to bring people together and can be a lot of fun.
Bang for the buck This is an expensive school but they give out lots of scholarships and it is easy to make it through the year without spending too much extra money. Other than tuition last year I had to buy book and pay for laundry and for other activities, clothes, or food that I bought and I only spent roughly 500$ all year. There are always things to do through the school that save money. The school offers free bowling nights and a 30$ season pass to Smuggler's Notch, for example.
What to do for fun There is always something going on on campus on the weekends and it is also very easy to take the bus (for free) to Burlington to go shopping or walk around or to the movies, or even to The University of Vermont. Although the campus is tucked away, it is not completely secluded.
Food and Dining The one thing that sets the dining apart from dining at other small schools is that you still have the wide variety of options that you would have at a large school. The food certainly isn't your mom's cooking but it is still possible to eat well and with variety.
Dorm Life There is a lot of partying since everyone lives on campus and it is really only shut down if it becomes completely out of control. If this isn't something you want to be involved in it is easy to stay away from as there are many housing options and not everyone partakes in it. The Resident Assistants are very helpful so it is easy to go to them with anything you are dealing with from homesickness to roommate problems.
Academic Rigor As a Biology major I am challenged by the classes, which is actually something I was concerned about because my test scores were well above average when I was applying. The material, however, is in no way impossible to grasp and there are many extra help opportunities.
Tips for prospective students Everyone at Saint Michael's is welcoming so there is no need to be shy when you have questions or need help with anything, from school work to dorm life.
In three sentences The people at Saint Michael's become your second family and you will never want to leave. It is a small school so it is easy to know someone every time you go out and the professors are very approachable. If you like the outdoors then it is a perfect place to be and there is always something going on.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Not much experience but there are blue light telephones everywhere.
Greek Life None, but the sports teams (especially Rugby which is a club sport) really have a brotherly/sisterly vibe.
Clubs and Activities I would give this 6 stars if I could, there are crazy amounts of opportunities for everyone. Coming in a freshman, by the end of the year I was doing a Capella, running my own radio show, in the Video Game Club, doing Chorale, and still have time for school work and relaxing (sometimes).
Great for these types of students Studious, not-so-studious, fun loving, shy (St. Mike's will change that), outgoing, crazy.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus P-Day is a day when the school rents bouncy houses, gladiator pits (inflatable ones), mechanical bulls, puts on a tricycle race, and bring in bands and a TON of food from all over the area. It's two weekend before finals and it's all just a really good time meant to relax every one before finals.
Bang for the buck This is totally dependent on scholarships and financial aid but almost everyone I know got great financial aid and is loving it here.
What to do for fun Burlington is a pretty great spot and it's only a 10 minute (free) bus ride. There's freshman bowling (awesome) and movie theaters and such. There's also a lot of concerts around the area and other live performances. Lake Champlain is a short drive off and there's always stuff happening on campus.
Food and Dining Definitely the low point of St. Michael's, there's only one dining hall and it's only open till 8 on the weekdays and the weekends are absolutely horrible. It's open for an hour for each meal on the weekends with barely any stations open. The only thing that keeps students from starving on the weekends is WingsOver, Domino's, and Papa John's.
Dorm Life They really try hard to make everyone kind of like one big family in the dorms with activities every Friday and Saturday night and really great RA's to hold everyone together. As in all cases you're not going to love everyone you live with but it was very manageable.
Academic Rigor Not too difficulty, not too easy. I felt challenged but not overworked, and when I did feel a little over my head there were a lot of people there to help.
Tips for prospective students If you want to come to a place where you're almost guaranteed to succeed socially and academically (still with effort), then I really recommend finding a place that just feels right. For me hands down it was St. Mike's.
In three sentences Saint Mike's is a great community, with great people. The professors for the most part really do care and want you to succeed. I'm really glad I came here.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Extremely Safe! I've never heard of anyone being in danger while at my college!
Greek Life There are no fraternities and sororities at our School. You don't really need one though since you most likely will know someone who knows someone whose hosting a party, and if in you're a club, an upperclassmen in that club will most likely host a party. The closest things we have to a fraternity/sorority here are the Rugby Clubs.
Clubs and Activities We have the stereotypical clubs you find at every college such as a green clubs, biking club, rugby club, drama club, gay rights movement club, and so on. We occasionally have an interesting club such as Irish Stepdancing and volunteering at our very own fire station. We have a phenomenal volunteer Program called MOVE that makes us highly respected by the entire Northern Vermont.
Great for these types of students Liberal, Upper-Middle Class, Outdoorsy, not very religious people who finished in the top 10% of their class.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Be prepared for daily ritual of the cup in the Cafeteria. Basically, if one person drops a crop in the cafeteria, every single person in the cafeteria will drop their cup to so that person who originally dropped their cup doesn't feel awkward.
Bang for the buck Saint Michael's is really expensive. ($43,000 per year to be exact.) However they do offer alot of learning experiences such as dance classes, numerous clubs, ski trips, and so on. If you take advantage of it all, then it's worth the money.
What to do for fun Besides the usual partying, you have millions of outdoor options since you are living in Northern Vermont. There are outdoorsy trips every weekend you can sign up for. You're a five minute free bus ride from Burlington (rated as #10 Best College town in America). You're also 1.5 hours away from Montreal, Canada.
Food and Dining You are given an unlimited meal plan into our cafeteria that has unlimited amounts of food at good quality. Some people complain... but they're just spoiled.
Dorm Life Like any other campus, freshman dorm parties suck. Besides that, the dorms are fairly nice. If you don't drink, you can sign up for housing where you're placed on a floor with other kids who have agreed not to drink. All the dorms are fairly close so you don't have to worry about long walks from place to place.
Academic Rigor The academics are definitely legit, however it does not take a serious amount of effort for you to get really good grades. As long as you do everything given to you, you are guaranteed at least a C+. If you do struggle though, the professors will help you get that grade up.
Tips for prospective students Be as Friendly AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. This will determine whether you will friends or not. This will also determine whether you are generally liked or generally disliked by the public. Just saying hello to people as you walk by them will make all the difference in the world!
In three sentences Happiest school that I know of! Professors are great and everyone here really enjoys what they're taking out of the classroom. I've never met a person who didn't like St. Mikes!

Categories Comments What to do for fun There is always something to do on campus. Between Friday Knight Dry, hanging out with friends in Eddie's Lounge,
Food and Dining There are a couple options for dining on campus and they're all pretty decent. Meal plan is all inclusive, unlimited swipes.
Dorm Life They're constantly updating the Dorms. In Summer 2012, they updated all the bathrooms and lighting on the Quad. They're also in the process of building a brand new dorm and student center.
Academic Rigor Challenging classes, but teachers are very passionate about what they teach and willing to work with students who put in the effort.
Tips for prospective students Take advantage of the online resources, such as chat rooms, student blogs, and youtube tours! Also, definitely make a trip to campus to take a tour and check out the vibe.
In three sentences Saint Michael's College is a great place to receive a liberal arts education. There is a huge focus on the school community and you will never feel like a number. Despite the smaller size, you will be faced with amazing opportunities during your time there.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are fun activities that happen every weekend in the dorms and you can take the bus to historical Church Street to soak in the fun Burlington, VT atmosphere.
Tips for prospective students Come visit the campus. And don't be afraid to ask questions. Everyone at SMC will help you answer your toughest questions.
In three sentences Saint Michael's has a friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The professors are wonderful and help you learn things you never knew about. And the people who attend Saint Michael's are all people who make you feel welcome; you will make life-long friends here.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities SMC keeps its students busy with a very large amount of clubs and activities offered to the student body. I personally love the music groups, but there are many others such as working with children once a week or even becoming involved with religious life at school.
Great for these types of students Small school lovers. The class are all relativity small, except for courses like chemistry. These max out at around 40. Students will get to know their teachers well, and will be able to work with them one on one whenever its needed.
What to do for fun Burlington is only a bus ride away, along with lots of other fun activites that the school offers almost every weekend such as sporting events, free live music and much more.
Food and Dining Alliot is the one and only dining hall SMC has on campus (minus the schools restaurant located on the Norther Campus). At first the food isn't too bad, but it gets old after a while. There are suggestion boxes though, and the food services is usually pretty good about meeting our needs.
Dorm Life All students usually stay on campus all 4 years. In the beginning the dorms aren't great, but as you get older you are able to move into dorm sweats and eventually town houses.
Academic Rigor So long as you organize your time wisely the work should not be too overwhelming (though your major definitely effects the amount of work you will have to do). Teachers are helpful and more than willing to assist a student in need.
Tips for prospective students Visit Saint Michaels College's website to check out all SMC has to offer.
In three sentences It is a beautiful campus, filled with the most friendly of people. Saint Michaels College is a community all to itself. If your looking for a small, welcoming school check SMC out.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I feel super safe on the campus. Of course you should never walk somewhere completely alone, especially at night, but it's not a huge issue. There are blue lights all over campus and if you ever feel unsafe, you just press the button and campus safety will escort you to wherever you're going.
Great for these types of students Saint Michael's is great for students who really want an education, but also want to find a community and be involved in it. Everyone I know is involved in some sort of club. There's a lot of school pride here.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I'm not sure you would call this a tradition, but if a person drops a cup in the cafeteria, everyone drops theirs. First you hear the one cup drop and then an awkward silence and all the sudden the room is filled with the clanging of plastic cups. Some people find it annoying, but I think it's great.
Bang for the buck Saint Michael's is expensive, it's true. However, I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. There's always a performance to go to, a speaker to listen to, a club to join or a movie to see. The campus is really pretty too, even with all the construction going on.
What to do for fun Every friday and Saturday night we have a grill going on outside where we can get hamburgers and hotdogs. There are also themed movie parties going on, art projects or games put on by the residential association. Being so close to Burlington, it's super easy to take the bus and go into the city for the day. Throughout the week various clubs are meeting and a sporting event is usually going on.
Food and Dining All the freshmen dorms are super close to the cafeteria, which is great. We also have unlimited swipes, so we can go get food whenever we want. However, it is cafeteria food and it can get a little monotonous. It's easy to get creative though, each station has something yummy, so you just get a little from each.
Dorm Life Dorm life is awesome. At first it was a little strange living with 20 other girls, but in the first few weeks they are your closest friends. My floor mates and I always smile at each other throughout the day and go to dinner together sometimes. Lucky for me, my roommate and I get along very well. We have a lot of the same interest and a similar sense of humor. Dorm life is great because you don't have to go far to find friends. With over 100 people living in one dorm, you're sure to find at least one person to hang out with regularly.
Academic Rigor Saint Michael's expects the best from you; that doesn't mean you have to be perfect though. The classes are hard and make you think, but they also have a great atmosphere. You can sit through an Irish Literature class and read poems the entire time, but by the end of class you know the innermost feelings of the author.
Tips for prospective students Be outgoing. It sounds cliche, but when making friends is so important, it's good to meet as many people as possible.The more connections you make the easier it will be to create a friend circle later.
In three sentences Saint Michael's becomes home. Your friends become your family and it's a tight-knit community. Everyone is connected through someone else and friendly faces are always just around the corner.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I have always felt safe on campus. Public safety does a good job.
Greek Life There is no Greek Life on campus.
Clubs and Activities There are tons of clubs on campus such as MOVE, our community service club, Drama, mentoring programs, science club and many others. Also, intramural sports are popular.
What to do for fun There is plenty to do at Saint Mikes. Burlington is only a ten minute bus ride away from Campus. On the weekends every dorm puts on a different activity ranging from tie-dyeing to wings and video games. Also, the library has a large collection of movies that students rent on the weekends.
Food and Dining Alliot, our dining hall, is not bad. Sometimes the food is really good and sometimes it is questionable. There are plenty of options and the stir-fries are always good.
Dorm Life Your dorm life experience will differ depending on what building you live in and what floor you live on. There are three different types of housing GREAT, honors, and regular. GREAT is for students who choose not to use drugs or alcohol and honors is for students in the honors program on campus.
Academic Rigor The classes at Saint Mikes are challenging. While we only take four classes a semester unlike many other colleges, the classes are rigorous and the professors have high expectations.
Tips for prospective students Apply early action and come to the accepted students open houses and academic days. These events give students a good look at what life at Saint Mikes would be like.
In three sentences Saint Michael's is a great choice for anybody looking for a small college. The sense of community on campus is unlike any other school. Also the professors are always available and go out of their way to help you.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is excellent. Public safety can be seen driving around very often and Colchester Police can also be seen on occasion. I feel very safe at St. Mike's.
Clubs and Activities There are plenty of clubs, activities, and teams that you can join or play for at St. Mike's. I happen to play rugby. Before coming to St. Mike's i had never heard of rugby and now i can't wait for the season to begin.
Great for these types of students St. Mike's is great for anyone that enjoys New England weather. However if you do not like the cold than you shouldn't attend. Because Vermont is known for harsh winters. So if you hate the winter, stay away.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There aren't really any unusual traditions on campus. The only unusual location on campus is the current construction. Although there is a park on North Campus where my rugby club and I practice on occasion.
Bang for the buck St. Mike's is a great school and there are plenty of things to do at all times. I never feel as though I am bored and have nothing to do. Everyone is friendly and it is easy to make friends. The teachers are excellent. So I do feel like I am getting a lot for my money.
What to do for fun Burlington is a big beautiful city with countless things to do. There are also plenty of places to hike, swim, and there are also several places to ski in the winter.
Food and Dining The dining and food quality is average. There is only one main dining hall and one other hall on North Campus. So the dining options are quite limited.
Dorm Life The school just put in a new building in the middle of the quad to improve the living arrangements for the students.
Academic Rigor The teachers give you a lot of work, but they do not overwhelm you. The workload is very well balanced.
Tips for prospective students The campus is very small and you will know everyone. If you are looking for a big school, then St. Mike's isn't for you.
In three sentences I really enjoy the campus environment and the positive nature and attitude of the students and staff. The professors are very helpful and have your best interest at heart. The campus is beautiful and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful.
