  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

College of Saint Mary school is an all girl school that focuses on women's education and empowerment. It also has a single moms program and has a separate dorm for mothers and children to live at. Overall it is a good college to go to.
Andrea from Omaha, NE
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?
