Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

I am a first year at Saint Joseph's College of Maine and I absolutely love it so far. I am a nursing major and am finding lots of support from professors and my peers. The nursing wing is also newly renovated and mimics a hospital. There is also lots of ways to get involved on campus.

Student

The professors are committed to helping every student reach their fullest potential, without letting anyone fall through the cracks. Because of the smaller class sizes, the professors are able to deliver a more personal, tailored education plan. They are able to make even the hardest courses as smooth as possible.

Campus and vibes

Student

The community feel here is unmatched. Walking around campus, everyone is saying hello to each other. The environment is one of inclusivity. The professors want to see students succeed and the small classes sizes work in favor of this. Professors are extremely accommodating.

Student

As a student at SJC, although this school is smaller, it does not lack opportunities and experiences. There are many benefits of being a part of a smaller community, like professors who really get to know you, opportunities to lead and get involved in a variety of clubs and organizations.

Student

While SJCME preaches about the community on campus, they neglect to discuss the lack of commitment they have to their students. This college is solely focused on money and will only intervene if there is an allegation that threatens the college’s values and risks a lawsuit.
