The University of Saint Mary is a tiny liberal arts school rooted in Catholic tradition. In addition to offering thirty majors and plentiful ���unique leadership opportunities,��� students find that there are ���many resources available.��� Advisors ���make sure the students are well taken care of,��� and there���s ���free tutoring on campus and online as well as skill shops to strengthen learning skills.��� Overall, the school ���emphasizes faith and strong core values,��� ensuring students ���are all very eager to learn and always seem to be engaged in the courses they are enrolled in.���

An eleven-to-one student-to-faculty ratio means there���s ���a lot of face time for all students��� with professors who create a ���positive classroom environment.��� Faculty ���are willing to help outside of class��� and are ���very personal and great at what they do.��� One student says, ���Every teacher feels like a person I can reach out to at any hour for class help.��� They also ���try to incorporate more innovative learning techniques,��� including ���field trips, group projects,��� ���trips to businesses, and guest lectures.��� Classes also feature ���a lot of interactive open debates ��� that encourage learning.���

This is a ���small community of students working towards excellence both inside and outside the classroom.��� In either setting, they are ���very helpful, outgoing, and always trying to achieve the best������and of course that extends to their sporting events: they ���love to support one another at our games.��� With ���a diverse student body for such a small school,��� a lot of people ���come from out of state and far away from home��� (less than half of the school is from Kansas). As one student describes, ���Everyone is from different backgrounds but somehow found themselves at a small school in Kansas.��� They make up a ���very social��� campus that ���is friendly and understanding of all lifestyles and perspectives on life,��� which makes for ���a good vibe to be around.���

The school requires all students to live on campus until their junior year, but ���living on campus is great.��� One student says, ���There���s almost always something to do, whether it���s watching a team sport or attending some sort of presentation.��� And speaking of sports, ���athletics tend to bring everyone together.��� Some people practice in the morning, and ���then everyone is going to classes ��� during the day.��� And while most students on this ���truly beautiful��� campus ���fill their days with studies, sports, and/or working,��� other campus happenings include ���events in the library and cafeteria that often include t-shirt giveaways or free food.��� Off-campus opportunities vary since Saint Mary is in a small town. ���But most students don���t ���go out��� to Leavenworth,��� tending instead to head to downtown Kansas City, ���which is only a thirty-minute drive.���
