Categories Comments Campus Safety There are absolutely no safety issues at this school. They can track our every move with cameras that constantly record, and they are super strict about keeping doors locked and signing in and out visitors. They even disallow students from using the multiple dorm exits and placing alarms on them, so that everyone has to use the front door. Very strict, and very watchful ensuring that nothing will ever slip past them. Campus security is also seen quite often driving around campus and checking out all of the buildings. There is certainly a lack of privacy but I guess it is safe so thats good.
Clubs and Activities There are a lot of clubs that plan events and activities and some of them can be super fun, especially if a lot of people attend.
Great for these types of students Saint Mary is great for small town people who enjoy knowing everyone at school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Saint Mary is a catholic institution, and so there are a lot of religious traditions that the University holds. These are often optional though so you are never forced to attend anything.
Bang for the buck School itself is expensive and Saint Mary is no different. They do have a lower tution than other schools but they definitely make sure to charge you heavily for class materials, dining, and living on campus. Not only that but they increase tuition each year by $500 which is awful because many people can barely afford to go there during their first year, but it only gets more expensive each year.
What to do for fun There are lots of sporting events throughout the year, as well as a variety of activities and events put on by the clubs and organizations at Saint Mary. They try to keep things new and interesting for the students.
Food and Dining The cafeteria actually has great selection, and the food quality is pretty decent. It is just extremely overpriced and is not very realistic if you want to save any money.
Dorm Life Dorm life isn't great. Maria hall is quite old and the rooms are incredibly small. The newer building is a little bit nicer as you can have your own room with more privacy, however these rooms are even smaller, and there is no kitchen so making your own food can be a challenge.
Academic Rigor Saint Mary has a great faculty, and it is easy to excel academically at this school because class sizes are so small that it is very easy to get extra help from your professors.
Tips for prospective students Always try to get your documents and necessary information handed in on time to ensure that there are no issues with financial aid, and signing up for your classes. It is a small school and classes are not offered as often so it is important to be cleared in advance to register on time.
In three sentences This school is small and friendly perfect for those looking to meet great people, and see lots of familiar faces around campus. The faculty are good at what they do, and are always willing to go the extra mile to help students because the class sizes are so small that it is easy to know professors personally. There are always events and sporting events going on throughout the year that keep things social and entertaining for those on campus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Leavenworth is known for Fort Leavenworth and some may think this is a unsafe place to live, but it's not. I have grown up around Leavenworth playing soccer for years in the area and nothing makes me feel more safe. USM is a perfectly safe campus because it is so small. There is always activities going on around campus at all hours of the day and night.
Greek Life Nonee.
Clubs and Activities USM offers many different clubs and activities. We are a theater school and very big in music so there are many choices for those. Over 93 percent of USM are athletes so there is never a night where you cant go watch a sporting event.
Great for these types of students USM is truly great for any type of student. As a school we are growing in majors and as people. They are redoing one of the buildings to be a Physical Theropy unit and I have no doubt that it will be anything less than somewhere like KU. Nursing is a huge thing at USM, almost all students that graduate already have a job. Music and Theater (we are a theater school) is also big at the spires nation.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus At the beginning of the year there was a school wide mass. Even if you're not religious its still amazing to see how much culture we have throughout our school.
What to do for fun USM offers movie night, bowling, sand volleyball, and many more. The campus is only fifteen minutes from Legends, but there is also a movie theater less than a minute away along with a gym and bowling. Also a lot of students play games of Sundays together because its usually every ones off day. You can also go to games all throughout the week. Support the Spires!
Food and Dining Food and Dining I also don't eat at USM because I live close to campus but everyone loves the food and there are always good choices of food. If you don't like it there is over ten choices around campus for fast food and there is also sit down places.
Dorm Life I cant give you a dorm life report because I don't live in the dorms but anywhere you go, living in the dorms is a great place to meet people. When I do go hang with friends in the dorms almost every ones doors are open so people can flow in and out of rooms to say hello and chat.
Academic Rigor Five stars are a must for USM. There are so many different resources you can use to help your grades. Free tutoring, teachers are always willing to help, and as a freshman your first year experience teacher is also there to help and of course the people are you are also a good help.
Tips for prospective students Check out the campus and look go to a game. The people here will become your family because sooner or later you will know everyone. It's awesome to go around campus and say know every ones name.
In three sentences The campus is amazing if you are looking for a small hands on school to help you further your education and even your athletic game this is the place for you. The school is very small but that works out to your own benefit with school work.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Nothing ever happens and people rarely act out, steal, or engage in any misproper conduct.
Greek Life None.
Great for these types of students Great for students who want to get away from home explore a different habitat but need to remain focus.
What to do for fun Fun resides in the city, but there are some fun events at school. For example; basketball games, football games, intermurals, and little things students throw here and there. Other than that fun is in the city of Lawrence, Oleatha, and Kansas City, MO.
Food and Dining The Food and Dining is average some days the food is Great other days its jss ok or unappetizing. The employees however, are enjoyable, funny and sometimes it makes the unappetizing days not seem as bad.
Dorm Life There are two Dorms; the more expensive one is better. There's not too much fun going on in the Dorm. However, you might meet some great people in the dorms other than that dorm life isn't all that great.
Academic Rigor Academically the school is known to be great.
Tips for prospective students If you want the crazy college lifestyle, you won't see to much of that here. Living off campus is much more free.
In three sentences Its a great school for athletes and those who want to become nurses. They work with you and try to keep you on track. Its a liberal school.
