Mount Saint Mary is a college that allows its students to be comfortable in their own skin. With its assortment of clubs, sports, and intramural activities, there's a place for everyone. Its environment took away any nerves that I still had about college.

The Mount is the place to be for students eager to expand their knowledge in open and small orientated classrooms. Where you are given the chance to actually connect and receive a well rounded relationship with your professors and the campus as well. Mount St. Mary's College is just an incredible place to find yourself in a spiritual, personal, and educational level with a great back bone of faculty , student programs , and many other resources.
