Saint Joseph’s College of Maine Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Lindsey

They couldn't adapt to my major as much as i thought. The food wasn't as good as they made it out to be

Before attending St. Joseph's College I would have liked to know more about available financial aid to pay for the expenses of attending. The school is rather expensive for the area in which it is located, as well as the state, therefore those attending may have difficulty finding ways to pay for their education. Scholarships do help to pay for some expenses but not every scholarship applied for is received and this can be frustrating for some students with college expenses at schools such as St. Joseph's College.

Before coming to school I wish I had gotten to know my roommate better. It is true what they say you don't really know someone until you've lived with them. We are just two different people from different walks of life and for a while things worked, but then I saw her true colors. This caused a lack of sleep and a drop in my grades. We have decided to go our separate ways and move on with life. Not all roommates are bad so for anyone entering college I wish you the best of luck.

I wish that I knew that it wasn't so expensive and that they would be able to help out more with money situations. I don't think they help out that well in that situation.

Mitchell

That the administration is trying to boost enrollment, by doing so makes for some tough living arrangements.

Lindsey

Absolutely nothing. The school was very informative and I was well prepared.

Heather

That I would have to learn to do things on my own sometimes if I wanted them to get done- ie: researching which classes I should take next semester, learning how to find my advisor, finding jobs, etc. Some people are very helpful, others are so busy they're never available,
