St. Mary's College of Maryland

One morning just sitting in my car,I noticed how beautiful was the morning sky.
Just caught my eye 👁it was breathtaking ❤

Went to Maryland state swim championships. Pool and facilities were good. Campus is pretty

Graduated in 2000. Great liberal arts college with excellent value especially for in state students.

This was my daughter and I second visit just to get to see more of the campus. As expected, she loved it even more than the first visit. Hoping for an acceptance letter 🙏🏽

Visited to enjoy the river concert series and left completely delighted with the entire experience. The elderly companion with whom I attended accidently fell, and the on-site medical staff attended to her very very well. Atop the medical excitement, the river concert was top-notch and the campus is charming unlike any other.

Very nice campus that hosts events open to the community throughout the year.

Wonderful college with an amazing location right on the water! Lots of history here and in the surrounding area. Small class sizes are a plus.

A favorite spot to escape to for the River Concert Series and other art/music events. A hidden gem in the greater DC area. Our oldest daughter went here for BA and MAT. Who needs Harvard when you have St Mary's College of Maryland at a fraction of the price??? Seriously, it's THAT good.

The greatest experience of my life. This is an amazing school! The student teacher ratio is 10:1 and that means you get to know your professors and can learn from them like you never could at a bigger school. The professors are amazing too, brilliant, caring people who are there to really teach.

What I have found is that the relationships that I have developed at a small school are profound, the smallness allows for this, plus the really special atmosphere of the place. I learned and grew so much at St. Mary's.

Nationwide (for the whole United States) the college student population will be dropping for the next 10 years (until 2024). That is due to a population shift for the whole country, so don't let that distract you from choosing a good school, all schools right now have a bit smaller enrollment each year. This is because less babies where born in the USA 18 years ago (among families that can afford college and have a history of sending their kids to college) than in the previous years (look it up), so it has nothing to do with the quality of schools (all of which are getting smaller enrollments each year)-- this will not change by the way, until 2024, when the population of 18 year olds will start to get larger again across the USA).

St. Mary's is not only an awesome place, but the State of Maryland has just added millions of dollars for new students in the coming years. This school isn't going away at all, and it's an incredible place. It is also rated one of the top public schools in all of the United States and that doesn't surprise me one bit, plus that tells you a lot about the schools future. I am so grateful for St. Mary's I can't even begin to tell you. What an awesome experience, thank you always!

I loved every time I visited my daughter on this gorgeous campus. In fact she took me sailing from their on campus sail boat checkout! She graduated and is now married and working in Japan. I thank St Mary's for this.

I will never forget my times at SMCM. My professors pushed my limits and set me up for a fantastic future. Like many arts schools there are programs that may not have a direct demand within the job market but I did not get one of those degrees. Most of my fellow students are now doctors, vets, lab techs, and professional writers. I still have casual conversations with my mentors and guidance councilors, we were always on a first name basis.

It's a great college. I am a freshman here and loving it! The classes are great and it's better than high school. The atmosphere is amazing. The sunsets are great too.

Let me start by saying that I love the one-star reviews. It brings to mind the phrase "long on opinion, short on experience." I graduated in 1991 when SMC was just coming into its Public Honors College phase. Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for what I learned at St. Mary's, both in the classroom and out. The most important thing you're going to learn at SMC is how to think critically about every aspect of life, not just about the course curriculum. If you're not prepared to think for yourself, you're going to have a hard time. I'm back on campus at least twice a year and in talking to contemporary students, through the past 25 years, I have found that one thing has not changed; you still have to find your own two feet to stand on. The professors will help you find your way, but the responsibility for your education is on your shoulders. If you don't squander it, it will be the best four years of your life.

For me, SMC was the best choice to get the diverse education I wanted. From traditional humanities courses to deeply scientific understanding from Profs Bob Paul, Walter Hatch, Paul Blanchette, and Al Hovland. Thank you all for teaching not what but how to think, thoughtfully and creatively. It made Graduate school in Organic Chemistry at Texas A&M easy and prepared me for necessary career evolution.

Went to see the Average White Band at their new event center.. They were Amazing!

Alissa Fisher did a tour of your college and is excited about begining her future by studing at St. Mary's College. She enjoyed the campus and found out that a fellow Catonsville Comet attended this school and is now working as a recruiter.

We look forward to hearing from you regarding Alissa's status with enrollment into this Great college.

Mrs. Michele Fisher

Our daughters attend college here - full disclosure. One of the best educations for the money and beautiful campus.

This campus is beautiful, I am so happy for any student going here!

beautiful campus / national honors college / great facilities - including a sailing center.

Ample thinking sauce flows from the ground, AODS attacks are on the decline, the skunks are tame enough to play catch with them. Overall SMCM is the perfect location to train towards being an exceptional wizard.
