Andrea

St. Mary's is known for so many things, but if I had to chose one, I would say we are known for our community service. We give back a lot to our community to show how much we appreciate everything they have given us. Continuing the Heritage is one of our biggest community service events and we are well-known for this service day. I love it. It is so much fun and we get to help those who needed the most.

St. Mary's is best known for its emphasis on liberal arts education. Your knowledge will expand from just basic english, math, science and social studies, to the history of religion, where science originated from, books written that were either banned or forgotten about, and so much more. It is a Marianist university, but by no means do they try to force the religion on you. It is a welcoming campus that embraces the different cultures that come with the students from all over the world. The university is greatly involved with its surrounding community.
