Saint Anselm College

Pros: Excellent Education, Beautiful campus and facilities, safe
Cons: Too Small, Too Regional, Tremendous lack of diversity and open-mindedness, Tough Grading Policy

It isn't easy to summarize four years of my life in a brief review. I spent I lifetime at Saint Anselm, yet it's all a distant memory now. Most people define college as the best four years of their lives. They remember how young they were, the good ...

Pros: Upperclassman housing is beautiful, friendly RAs
Cons: Really lousy underclassmen housing, dishonest housing lottery

Don't get me wrong. Saint Anselm College has some beautiful Dorms and College Housing. Its getting into it that is the problem. The school is experiencing some serious housing problems, which must be considered by anyone thinking about applying to...

Pros: great education, small classrooms, qualified professors.
Cons: required courses, non co-ed dorms.

I am a current graduate of St. Anselm College. My experience at St. A's was pleasant but challenging. I loved the environment, the scenic landscape and the professors. The classes are small so you get the attention needed and professors are always there...

Pros: New Hampshire Primary, meet presidential candidates
Cons: Are there any?

The Politics Department is arguably the best in New England, and is quickly becoming one of the best in the Nation. In 1999, the school received a Federal grant to establish a New Hampshire Institute of politics.

Probably the most exciting...

Pros: Tons of Clubs to join, lots of leadership potential
Cons: Not enough funding to go around!

At Saint Anselm there are over 51 clubs to choose from, and nearly all of them are active and exciting. Leadership and social prospects for incoming students are very high in the extracurricular program. In only two years at Saint Anselm College, I...

Pros: SGA hosts some good events
Cons: It is corrupt, political, and fails to represent students.

The Saint Anselm College Student Government Association (SGA) was created to represent the students in all campus issues, and relation to the administration. It has failed. It has become elitist and ignorant to the student’s wishes.

SGA has...

Pros: Enlightening Liberal Arts Program, Humanities Program is a 10
Cons: Really Challenging courses (which can be good too)

Saint Anselm College has a wonderful liberal arts academic program, which is known in particular for its outstanding Humanities program, which is life changing to say the least. The program looks at "Portraits of Human Greatness" from...

Pros: Scenic, provides education with relaxation.
Cons: Not Diverse, Parietals, serious housing issues.

I am a twenty-year-old sophomore at Saint Anselm College; a scenic College located in lower New Hampshire. My experience here has been a pleasant one, an experience of personal growth with an academic challenge.

The grounds are rustic and...

Pros: Friendly staff, careful when admitting students
Cons: Can be very selective and competitive

The Admissions office of Saint Anselm College is full of friendly people. I feel, however, that they can be a bit too selective in enrollment. Even still, the Admissions office seems to full the school with bright people. Financial aid is high, so...

Pros: Campus life, high prestige, campus food
Cons: Not very diverse, rigorous courses and grading

Upon arriving at St. Anselm College, you will notice that there is not much diversity among the students. The campus is filled with students who have 2 summer houses and wear Northface, Uggs, and Vera Bradley like it's their job. I'm not complaining, ...

Pros: Provides a means to express faith in helping others
Cons: Only for practicing Catholic Gentlemen

Saint Anselm College Knights of Columbus opens its arms to the poor, elderly, orphaned, and all others who are less fortunate. It's membership is open to all practicing catholic gentlemen on campus, and a new sister organization is being started for the...

Pros: Campus, staff and overall feeling
Cons: homogeneous

I transferred to St Anselm after my sophomore year from another Catholic college in New England. I wish I had attended St A's for all four years. The campus which had recently been redone (library, caf, dorms everything!) is gorgeous. I have seen many...

Pros: Good food, happy students, entertaining weekends.
Cons: Bad housing.

The Quality of Life at St.A's is really good. Bad housing, yes, but the Social life and atmosphere at the College make all of that bearable.

When I came to this school, I spent my first night in Dominic hall. It is an old, almost prison-like...

Pros: Pretty campus, helpful professors
Cons: A lot of parties, not very diverse

I attended St. Anslem's College for 1 year. It is a very pretty school with a lot to offer the right type of students. Since I am from a small town, I had hoped that my first year in college would be filled with new learning experiences and diversity....
