My Empoleon is pretty strong(in my opinion(LVL:67)), and has some good stats. But I don't think it has a good move list. Brine, Bubblebeam, Hydro Pump and Drill Peck. I'm thinking about deleating Bubblebeam with Ice Beam, Blizzard or Avalanche. Would that make it a better Pokemon? Since it would have a wider move type range.
Empoleon learnset
My recommended moveset for Empoleon would be:
Surf (no Hydro Pump or Hydro Cannon. Low pp, flawed accuracy.)
Drill Peck (You want to be able to counter grass and Fighting, seeing as fighting is a major weakness.)
Ice Beam (If you only have Blizzard, then use it. Use Blizzard to hit Dragons and Ground-types, another threat.)
Flash Cannon / Grass Knot / Brick Break (Flash Cannon for STAB, hitting ice types. Grass Knot for hitting other Water types, and to mix it up and hit heavy enemies hard. Brick Break can ruin Reflect, Light Screen, and hit Steel types hard.)
This is only one opinion, but I had a Star Empoleon with this moveset. :)
Surf - YEAH! + coverage Flash Cannon - YEAH! Earthquake - coverage Drill Peck - coverage
DW Empoleon: (physical sweeper)@Choice scarf
EVs:252Atk, 252Spd, 4HP
DW Empoleon #2:[can also have Torrent](physical tank)@Leftovers
EVs:Atk, Def, SDef
Here are two Empoleon movesets, in order from best to worst:
Surf: STAB, good power, high accuracy, double damage against Pokemon using Dive, deals with Ground types. Ice Beam: Good power, high accuracy, chance to freeze, deals with Ground, Dragon, and Flying types. Grass Knot: Deals with other water types and also Ground types. Aqua Ring: Both Leftovers and Aqua Ring would be healing Empoleon.
Surf: STAB, good power, high accuracy, double damage against Pokemon using Dive, deals with Ground types. Flash Cannon: Good power, high accuracy, STAB, chance to lower Sp. Def. Iron Defense: Raises Empoleon's Defense. Toxic: Inflicts toxic poison.
Empoleon (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Defiant EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Aqua Jet - Drill Peck - Earthquake
Physical Sweeper:
Drill Peck (Ok Power, Great Accuracy, Perfect for it's fighting Weakness)
Swords Dance/Steel Wing (The best move for a Physical Sweeper, raising Attack or A STAB power move which has a 10% chance of raising Empoleons defence)
Waterfall (STAB, Great Power, Great accuracy, With rain, Torrent and STAB in play, it can do a deadly 480 dmage! Also has a 20% chance to flinch)
Avalanche (Only useful if Empoleon has been hit first and deals with Dragon, Grass, Ground and Flying Types)
Special Sweeper
Hyrdro Cannon (STAB, Awesome Power, under-average accuracy, the water elemental Hyper Beam)
Surf (STAB, awesome Power, Awesome Accuracy Almost a Water version of Earthquake)
Flash Cannon (STAB, Great Power, Great Accuracy, 10% chance of decreasing opponents Sp. Defence)
Ice Beam (The same purpose as Avalanche exept instead of double Power, it has a 10% chance of Freezing)
Empoleon@Choice scarf
Role:Special sweeper
EVs:252SpAtk, 252Spd, 4HP
So, choice scarf with Timid nature make his speed 300 or with modest his speed reaches 274. Both are good for Empoleon. Scald is another option for 3 vs 3 battles, but since the most of them are 1 vs 1 I prefer Surf/Hydro pump.
I use this set for my Empoleon lead.
Empoleon (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 128 Def / 252 SAtk / 128 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Hidden Power [Fire] - Surf - Ice Beam - Stealth Rock
Most Leads are now fire type pokemon, or carry a fire type move, because if Scizor and Forretress abuse, however, with this going on, there is almost NO Scizor and Forretress abuse, so now its mostly fire types, Empoleon can sweep out fire types, with HP fire, he can cover Ferrothorn Forrretress and Scizor, Ice beam for any Dragons that come into the picture, while being able to set up Rocks.
Nature: Timid/Modest Item: Chople/Wacan/Shuca Berry/Life Orb EVS: 252 SP. Attack; 252 in Speed; 4 SP. DEF. Moveset: - Ice Beam -Surf/Hydro Pump (depends if you want Power or Accuracy) - Grass Knot (Other water types + heavier foes that threaten the Emperor) - Agility (helps out with Empoleon's less than desirable speed)
Nature: Adamant Item: Chople/Wacan/Shuca Berry EVs: 252 ATTK; 252 Speed; 4 SP. DEF. Moveset: - Aqua Jet (Priority Move that picks off weakened foes) - Swords Dance (ATTK Stat isn't that high; needs all the help it can get) - Earthquake - Drill Peck
Empoleon @ Choice Specs Ability: Torrent Nature: Modest EVs: 128 HP / 252 SpA / 128 Spe
Hydro Pump is nice STAB, and packs quite a punch with Specs and a respectable base SpA of 111, but Surf can be used for a more reliable alternative. Ice Beam hits Grass types who are eager to switch in to take the Water type STAB and rounds out the coverage nicely. Grass Knot hits other Water types like Milotic. Flash Cannon is also STAB, and can get some extra neutral coverage, while Stealth Rock can be used to scout and at the same time supporting the team. Toxic can be used to cripple walls Empoleon just can't get through. The speed EVs are to outspeed base 75, like Claydol, and below who don't invest in speed by 2 points just incase they invest 4 in Speed and SpA is then maximized for obvious reasons namely to make it do most possible damage while the rest is thrown into HP for some extra bulk. This Empoleon can be quite a nasty surprise for Pokes who try to taunt it.
Gen V
Empoleon (M) @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
Empoleon is a very good water type with great defenses.
Ability: Torrent
EV's: 252 Sp.Atk/ 252Sp.Def/4Def
Item: Leftovers
Attacks: Earthquake to cover the electric weakness.
Drill Peck to cover fighting weakness.
Surf, not hydro pump because it has more PP and better accuracy, STAB.
Blizzard to cover ground weakness.
i dont know if im too late to post this but here is my thought:
Empoleon (M)@ Focus Sash/Focus Band Physical Sweeper
Drill Peck - covers grass and fighting weakness Waterfall - STAB...?(not really sure what that is XD) and may cause opponent to flinch Steel Wing - may cause defense to rise Agility - raises priority and gauranteed to be able use if used first turn because of focus sash/band
The Napoleon Pokemon
Empoleon @ Focus Sash
Nature: Adamant (-Sp. Atk., +Atk.)
-Drill Peck (Coverage for Fighting types)
-Avalanche/Aqua Jet (Depends on ehich generation you are playing on)
-Earthquake (Coverage for Electric types)
-Swords Dance (WOOT! AN AWESOME ATTACK BOOSTER!
*When a move that can OHKO Empoleon is made, Focus Sash will leave it with 1 HP left, and then the power of Aqua Jet will rise.
Or Special Attack Empoleon:
Empoleon @ Damp Rock
Nature: Modest (-Atk., +Sp. Atk.)
-Hydro Cannon (YOU SHOULD TEACH THIS ONE)
-Rain Dance (A good water-type move booster)
-Hyper Beam (Yes, I know it doesn't cover any weakness, but its good to try it)
-Flying/Ground/Ice Hidden Power (Depends on the type combination)
*Note: I know you have to recharge when using Hyper Beam or Hydro Cannon, so switch quickly before an enemy targets you.

Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior.

Tell your physician about all the medicines that you take including prescription and nonprescription medicine, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Call a physician right away if you or a person you know who is taking ZOLOFT has any of the following symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you: thoughts about suicide or dying; attempts to commit suicide; new or worse depression; new or worse anxiety or panic attacks; feeling agitated, restless, angry or irritable; trouble sleeping; acting aggressive or violent; acting on dangerous impulses; an increase in activity or talking from what is normal for you (mania); or any other unusual changes in behavior or mood.
Tell your physician immediately if you:
ZOLOFT can cause sleepiness or may affect your ability to make decisions, think clearly, or react quickly. You should not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how ZOLOFT affects you.
Drinking alcohol while taking ZOLOFT is not recommended.
Women who are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or who are breastfeeding should not take ZOLOFT without consulting their physician.

I love it, it eliminates the number of devices for me to carry when travelling. Great idea to combine a car charger wtih a plug charger. Also, if travelling with a Droid user and they have their cable it also works charging non-apple devices.
This works very well, and charges very fast for both iPhone 4 & iPad. Very nice now that I only need one item when on the road. Would have been a five if a slightly different design, allowing a more friendly way of sharing an outlet with others...
Works well, only thing is that it is not the optimum design. the way the wall socket deploys it is difficult to use it in a socket hat has anything else plugged into it. If it were a little wider and deployed "sideways" it would be more useful.
I've also seen comparable chargers that were a little smaller.

Just bought some Rhino's and glued them on yesterday (bit of a dogs dinner with some glue on the sidewalls, but hey, first time and they aren't going to roll off) - thanks for all advice here on selecting and glueing them.
Question - would you advise that I put Stan's in them and if so does it in anyway compromise the innertube life? After wrestling them on I don't want to make it a regular occurance, but bloke in (admittedly not great bike shop) reckons that Stan's reduces life of standard inner tubes - just wanted to check with people who actually know what they are talking about.
all advice greatfully received.
Hi Stuart
I have a Rhinos too but waited until I had a puncture before putting any Stans in. That way it's not sitting in there for too long sloshing around not doing anything. I've not heard that it deteriates the inner tube either though, may need to look into that, but so far so good.
There's been a lot about this on Velonews recently. Apparently Dugast only recommends Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex which is available through Upgrade UK.
hmmmm, maybe look out for an epic collapse and me looking sorry for myself during one race soon then Andy.
Andy Waterman said:
There's been a lot about this on Velonews recently. Apparently Dugast only recommends Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex which is available through Upgrade UK.
Interesting... I haven't heard the 'reducing the life' argument before but maybe it's true. Certainly haven't heard of anyone having that problem. The good news is that I've put Stans sealant into my Dugast Rhinos before and have never punctured. Two years so far on one pair. What this means is that (a) I might never have punctured anyway) (b) it might just work.
I like your logic though. Far rather a seal than a send-away-to-Peter-Burgin.
More significant debate though is whether a Latex sealant would have enough 'oomph' to seal at a tub running at c.25psi, which a Dugast cyclosross tyre will typically be racing at. The Jury's out.
I use sealant in the 3 peaks by the way... but that's at pressures of 55-65 psi. Massive difference in the off chance of it coming into play at those pressures (and those types of distance from 'the pits!)
I've used Stans on the MTB tubless wheels and after a few weeks it starts to separate - you end up with a ball of latex rolling around the tyre.... have started using the Bontrager Super Juice instead, it is non latex so lasts for ages!
The issue that's been stirred up with sealants pumped into tubulars relates to the ammonia many of the sealants contain and the potential that it could erode through the tub and then contaminate the base tape and thus the glue. Thinking about this, you can see that by the time your tube is fried from the ammonia, you're flat anyways...not rolling it off catastrophically. For what it's worth, I have rescued 3 Dugasts and (no embellishment) 5 Challenge Grifos and file treads with Stans and brought them all completely back to life...saving me from sending them to tire-alert.com. Caffelatex (while apparently "approved" by Dugast) has been met with nearly a 100% fail rating from my friends who've tried it here in Boulder...where fail = it didn't seal. I'll leave it up to any of you to do your own research and choose the best solution for you, but if you go Stans, and you do not drain it at the end of every season, my suggestion is to ensure your tubulars remain indoors and somewhat warm for the off season. Also, ensure the tubulars remain somewhat inflated and try to spin them weekly to ensure the Stans doesn't coagulate or bond the flattened innertube together. Then you're bumming!
Hope this helps.
Interesting about the ammonia issue, Greg. Hadnt thought of that....
I've used DT Swiss tubeless sealant effectively on 2 FMBs that punctured - easy to get in as it has a thin tube to dispense. just rotate the tub to spread it around, as usual.

Saint Mary's College Reviews
Check out reviews left by other students, or leave your own review. You could win a free scholarship!
Joan from Sharps Chapel, TN
07/20/2009Reviewer is A current student here.
5 out of 5 people found this review useful. 1 person found this inaccurate. 1 of 30
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Choosing a college is not an easy thing. If school size is important, Saint Mary's has the best of both worlds by being small sized yet closely tied with Notre Dame University. On top of that, it is a spectacular female liberal arts college. Art majors; Literature majors; Engineering majors; Nursing majors; Math majors; Science majors; Saint Mary's College will help you reach your goals.
Tips for prospective students My first tip is always try to at least visit the school you are considering. If your heart is set on Notre Dame University, Saint Mary's College is a great alternative. An all girls college may seem out-of-date but the level of academic excellence here is incomparable. You will not be disappointed!
Bang for the buck With the opportunities that one has, the money is well worth it. Not to mention the financial aid office is there to help to make sure every student gets the aid they need. There are also scholarships available for academics and sports.
Am enjoying being here I know it is an all girls school but I have met some really awesome friends here. And I have also met a lot of people from Notre Dame University and Holy Cross College. Watching Notre Dame football on Saturdays is always awesome. If you are not into sports there are intramural teams you can join with your friends to just play for fun. Winter seems to take forever but I have never had so much fun in the snow. The professors and classes are great. Some of the general education classes can feel slow and dumb but they are included to help you. You will learn more than you expect. If you organize your time well you can have good grades and a social life too!
Am learning a lot The class sizes are small so one can ask questions and get one-on-one help. And it is not true that professors do not care about academic progress. They do and will even go out of their way to make sure you understand the class concepts and succeed.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This college is great for students who love to excel in school, but also for those students who need a little extra help in the classroom. Professors are really nice. Make sure to get their email though because that is the best way to get a hold of them. The small class sizes make it easy to talk amongst the class and since it is mainly girls, some feel more comfortable. Plus, you get to go to class in your pajamas!!
Tips for prospective students I was a freshman last year and lived in Le Mans Hall, which is a dorm for any age student. To first year students I would recommend living in McCandless since it is primarily freshmen living there. You get to meet a whole bunch of freshman and it makes it easier. I regret not choosing to live there because I felt like I would have made a lot more friends. I know, I know, all the other dorms are so much more lovely, but in the end you will agree that you think it was one of the best decisions you could ever make. As for the classes, they are tough! Make sure you do your assigned reading. Don't be afraid to ask a professor for help either. They are more than willing to work with you on whatever issue you may be having.
Bang for the buck Saint Mary's is awesome. Not only did I learn a ton while being there, I made friends that will be there for me whenever I need them. It is totally worth the money and they offer many scholarships, along with grants and loans. Financial Aid is so helpful, and even if you don't think you need any aid, check it out!
Am enjoying being here South Bend is not the most exciting town to live in. Football weekends here seem to be the most fun. There are a lot of things to do off campus, you just have to try really hard to find stuff. I recommend going to ND to eat a few nights a week. You meet some cool people and therefore, you have more connections as to what to do on weekends.
Am learning a lot Classes are tough, but to be honest, I learned more in the first year of college than I did my whole high school career. It is totally worth it!! Do not skip class a lot, especially math classes, because on the day you think you won't be doing anything special, it turns out to be the worst day in the world to skip! No joke.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Our campus is safe, we have round the clock security, as well as a shuttle between University of Notre Dame and here! There is also a different kind of shuttle that can pick you up anywhere you are on Notre Dames campus without question, after the regular shuttle hours end.
Greek Life We do not have Greek life, we are one community!
Clubs and Activities There is a club or activity for everyone at Saint Marys and if there isn't we fully encourage new development of clubs that interest the girls here.
Great for these types of students Any young women would feel comfortable at SMC!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a bridge on campus over a little pond, it is said that the man you walk over this bridge with will be your husband! Another place is the Holy Cross Convent, doesn't sound too appealing but it is a very rewarding place to have a nun as a friend!
Bang for the buck Saint Marys College is prestigious, and when you encounter a graduate you know this. So the bang for your buck is very good. It is expensive but most private institutions are, here you get a very well rounded education, great place to live and sharing it with amazing women!
What to do for fun For fun usually we just hang with friends in our rooms or in the lounge (vendoland) down stairs on week days! Then on weekends because we are in such close proximity to University of Notre Dame, most girls go there for extracurricular activities, sporting events, and/or parties.
Food and Dining Food here isn't bad. There are not as many healthy, low fat Items as I would like, but still not terrible!
Dorm Life Dorm life is the best! I love my dorm, LeMans hall! It's is absolutely gorgeous, and located in the middle of campus! Only downside to my dorm is expense of laundry and no air conditioning, but really the beauty of campus makes up for the luxury of air.
Academic Rigor My courses are tough! The new gen-Ed program allows us to be well rounded students when we graduate. We get a lot of work but don't let that intimidate you!
Tips for prospective students Know what you want! Visit campus, have an overnight! Ask tons of questions not just of tour guides but of other students.
In three sentences Saint Marys, is a wonderful liberal arts college, ranked among the best in the country! I love it here! Saint Marys has an amazing atmosphere to be in and around.

Tips for prospective students Work really hard in your last years of high school, your admission process will only be all that much better if you do! You don't have to be in the top of your class or have a perfect SAT/ACT score to get into Saint Mary's. All they ask is that you do your best! No matter where you end up going, do your best to become friends with your roommate. You don't have to be best friends but it is always nice to have someone to talk to. Get involved as much as possible!
Bang for the buck Saint Mary's is really expensive but it is completely worth it! I am learning so much in my classes! Being here is a great experience! There are so many privileges that come with being here! You can stay on campus, go to Notre Dame, or Holy Cross just about anytime you would like.
Am enjoying being here I absolutely love being here! I know that I made the right decision coming to Saint Mary's College! I can honestly say that it is my favorite place to be! I am so at home here! I found my group of friends and I am having a great time! One of the best parts of being here is that there are so many different kinds of people and everyone can find something they are interested in. Notre Dame and Holy Cross are also great to have around the area! There is always something fun to do.
Am learning a lot I learn so many new things every day!! Whether it is in class, sports, or just hanging out with my friends, every day is a new experience! Meeting so many new people and doing so many new things has really helped me to grow in the short time I have been here!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students All students. I have met all different types of students here. There's introvert, extrovert, drama, education, serious, fun, etc people here. Don't think you can live without boys? Notre Dame! My best friend here is one who tends to hang out with guys more than girls, and she spends a good amount of her time at Notre Dame but loves to be able to come back to the sanctuary of St. Mary's and see her other friends. Yes the atmosphere and experience is different from that of a co-ed school, but I believe it's worth it. The education, the connections, the people, everything is worth it and it certainly shows. St. Mary's accepts all, because here, we are all sisters.
Tips for prospective students Visit. St. Mary's isn't for everyone, like guys for example, but just visiting this beautiful campus takes one's breath away. St. Mary's takes care of not only her current students, but also her prospective students. My first visit was during the summer for a week long retreat and I instantly fell in love. Then quite some time passed before I visited again and I had sort of fallen out of love. But then my next visit was during the school year and I attended some classes, the students and the professors during the time showed me that this is a good place to go, this is the place where I'm meant to be. Doubts? Skepticism? Fears? Visit. Visit. Visit. St. Mary's will take care of them for you.
Bang for the buck Like with any education, you get what you put into it. Going to class, keeping up with the homework and studying and anyone will get their bang for their buck. However, St. Mary's class size, good food service, wide variety of programs offered, and quality of education definitely put them ahead of other colleges. It may seem weird but St. Mary's actually cares about their students and knows about the sacrifices many are making to attend this school. For me, St. Mary's has been a good investment.
Am enjoying being here Not only are the professors excellent, but the students are wonderful. It is an all girl school and here we are all sisters. And life couldn't be better than having the best of both worlds with Notre Dame right across the street. St. Mary's has many programs available, but if something doesn't catch one's eye she can always go over to Notre Dame where St. Mary's students are more than welcome. Life on, and off campus, is really enjoyable. I am a St. Mary's Woman and I am loving it.
Am learning a lot My current intended major is Nursing, but I'm learning so many other great things that I feel more informed about the world than ever before. Not only is St. Mary's good at teaching her students about the past, but also on keeping us updated about current issues. St. Mary's has taught me so much more than just how to be a good student, the school has taught me to be a well rounded, strong individual. The professors are always willing to help and set aside office hours, and more, for students to talk to them. The class sizes are small which makes for a more intimate environment where learning, interpreting, and using information is always happening. I'm only a sophomore and I feel as if I've learned years and years worth of valuable information.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Saint Mary's is a great place for women who want to get a good education and a strong degree, but also love to meet new people and have fun. Learning leadership skills, independence, and the skill of balancing everything in a great environment is what makes Saint Mary's special. Those searching for these things should definitely consider becoming a Belle.
Tips for prospective students Getting involved with activities on campus is one of the most important things to do. Meeting new people is beneficial, both during school and after graduation. Finding the balance between going out and studying should be a main priority. Sometimes, taking a study break works wonders for students, but students have to remember why they are at school.
Bang for the buck The strong education combined with the variety of opportunities at Saint Mary's is a big benefit. Each class gives a strong intellectual experience. I feel challenged in my classes and know that I am getting my money's worth. In addition, Saint Mary's has the Career Crossings Office to help find jobs after graduation.
Am enjoying being here I love being in South Bend. Saint Mary's offers a variety of activities to get involved and meet new people. I can honestly say that I have made some great friends. The unique clubs, activities, and organizations provide something for everyone to enjoy. I was also lucky to find a job on campus that allowed me to make great friends. Furthermore, the close proximity of Notre Dame contributes to the social scene.
Am learning a lot I just finished my first year at SMC, and I am pleased to say that I have learned a great deal. The professors really care about my progress and how much I truly understand the material. They offer multiple opportunities for tutoring when necessary and a wide variety of office hours; I never have to worry about going to talk to one either because they are friendly and accommodating. I was also happy to see many things I learned applied in my life, including during everyday conversations with people at work. I am excited to return to Saint Mary's to continue learning.

Bang for the buck Pretty high tuition, but they give you really good financial aid packages! I would say it is worth the money because of all the opportunities they provide for the students.
Did enjoy being here All the girls here are so nice and inviting!
Did learn a lot Most of the class sizes are small, so you can get one on one help easily! The professors are also very good about making themselves available for their students.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Anyone who is a female of course! Outgoing, wanting to learn more about themselves, friendly, charismatic, hard working, easy going, social, dedicated, and can enjoy Notre Dame football.
Tips for prospective students My advice for any high school senior is to make sure this is your decision. Your parents might be paying your tuition but your the one attending the classes and getting an education. You don't want their money to go to waste. Whenever possible, go visit the schools you're interested in. Make sure that college is a place you can see yourself in for the next couple of years.
Bang for the buck I am not going to lie, going to any college, especially Saint Mary's, is very expensive. My mother is a single parent so you can image how I felt coming to SMC. The one thing I do like to tell prospective students is that if you really want to come here, financial aid will work with you to do as much as possible to make sure you can afford to come. Whatever the price tag is, you will never feel like you are wasting money. We have access to great professors, many who have hold the highest degree possible for their subject, wonder staff, and plenty of resources. The one thing I love the most is that we have complete access to Notre Dame. We can use their library, take classes over there, attend sporting events, and many other things. We call it the best of both worlds.
Am enjoying being here Although I do get homesick every now and then, Saint Mary's really does feel like a second home. The young women you begin to call your friends act just like your sisters. We say that Saint Mary's is just a big sorority and we really mean it. From the teachers to the student body you never feel out of place.
Am learning a lot They say college is the best time of your life and they don't lie. Saint Mary's you to grow as a strong, independent woman. You get to figure out who you want to be and how you can go about being that person. The school allows several different opportunities to get a feel for who you are without being controlling. I have learned a lot about myself over the past two years then I ever thought I would.

Food and Dining It's not the best, but it's healthy.
Dorm Life It all depends on where you're dorming. All dorms are different. I was in Holy Cross and I was very content with it.
Academic Rigor The work course is not difficult, but it's tedious.
Tips for prospective students Definitely sign up for classes that sound appealing to you, and get along well with your professors, they will help you with anything you need.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College is an excellent school, it has a welcoming environment and provides wonderful education by friendly professors. I am very happy in choosing this school because it provides so many opportunities and I made so many great friends. These next three years will be full of experiences, and I will be looking forward to them.

Categories Comments Campus Safety It's a small campus, and security patrols often, and is close and available at all hours
Greek Life Nonexistent at Saint Mary's.
Bang for the buck The financial aid is pretty good. I mean, we all wish there was more, but as far as colleges go...
What to do for fun There is so much to do! I never understand the girls who say that they are bored. There are a million clubs and activities, and always lectures and special events going on every week, most nights. And if there isn't enough here, we have access to all of the clubs and activities over at Notre Dame!
Food and Dining The food is not so great. It is SODEXO, a fairly common college food supplier. As far as most college food goes, it's good, but if you get permission to eat a few days at Notre Dame, you might start to complain some more. Like any dining hall, I'd imagine, the food choice gets monotonous and boring after a while, but it is all edible and nice quality.
Dorm Life A very warm community! Some rooms can be pretty small, especially singles, and especially in the Regina building. The hallways are almost always active, though, and you will almost definitely be friends with your neighbors!
Academic Rigor Not necessarily a difficult school, although it can be as challenging as you make it. If you work and apply yourself, it can really prepare your for life after graduation. One thing that girls complain about and tend to have difficulties with, though, is the required W class- a special writing requirement.
Tips for prospective students If you value a close relationship with your professors and academic advisor, this is definitely a good place for you. If you are an elementary education or nursing major, especially, YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE. Also, the science program just received a large endowment, so if you are interested in that, look for big improvements in offered facilities.
In three sentences A very warm and supportive atmosphere. A small campus, with very involved faculty and a close community. Comes with most of the benefits of the larger school, Notre Dame, across the way, but also with the drawbacks of stereotypes from Domers.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Students can call campus security for rides when the buses have stopped running late at night. There is a van called Blinky that runs between the campuses after the buses to pick up Saint Mary's students and bring them back to campus so they don't have to walk. If you have been assaulted, we have an entire office devoted to helping you out. The only thing I'm ever worried about on campus is the old men that take jogs during the day. I assume they are rich and looking for a young, beautiful bimbo, so they really aren't any harm.
Greek Life None. However, Saint Mary's is known as one big sorority.
Clubs and Activities You can see a full list of the clubs and organizations on Saint Mary's website. There is something for everyone.
Great for these types of students Saint Mary's is an excellent place for students who fall within the upper middle class. If you are among the lower middle class or the working class, you tend to feel a little out of place, however coming to the college is still a great opportunity. There are certain types of girls that usually attend the school, but you really have to visit to see if you are one.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a labyrinth on the campus as well as a cemetry. Interesting fact, in the cemetry they have the graves marked of all the nuns that were nurses in the Civil war by a second tombstone. As for traditions, freshmen from Notre Dame, Saint Mary's, and Holy Cross are invited to Domerfest over at Notre Dame to get to know each other. Soon after, there is another all school event for all the students at Saint Mary's called Belle's Bash. Saint Mary's also has a yearly event called Tostal. If you want to know what these are, come to the school. Or just look them up on the website.
Bang for the buck Saint Mary's is a very expensive college from my perspective. However, the education is very worth it.
What to do for fun There are a large variety of clubs or organizations that you could become involved in. There are also many events that take place throughout the year. One weekly event is Sundaes on Sunday. They have an ice cream bar open and show movies in one of the theatres for this event. You can also become involved in clubs and organizations over at Notre Dame.
Food and Dining Our dining hall is located in the Student Center, where you can also find the Cyber Cafe. The dining hall food is pretty average for a college. It is better than the food at Holy Cross, but not as good as the food at Notre Dame. Favorite things in the dining hall are personalized pizza on Friday nights and make your own waffle station, open mornings and all weekend. We also have a salad bar and a sandwich bar, a grill station, a vegetarian station, an international station, a bistro station, cereal that is always available, ice cream and frozen yogurt machine, and various microwavable foods availble. And if you miss a meal, are hungry when the dining hall isn't open, or just don't want to eat at the dining hall, you can walk next door to the Cyber Cafe.
Dorm Life The dorms at Saint Mary's vary greatly. Some of the rooms now used as dorms originally had other purposes, so there are rooms with sinks, bathrooms, walk-in closets, high ceilings, or all of the above. In the newer buildings, the rooms are much more consistent. There is one building, which is also one of the newer ones, that is mostly freshmen. The other newer building is split into three sections. One section has classrooms, another is for senior housing, and the third is general housing. The oldest building is known for it's high ceilings and for having the largest variation in what you will have in your room. The most popular building has the most housing and has the administrative buildings located on the first floor. As a general rule for Saint Mary's girls, you do not throw a party in your dorm, you go over to Notre Dame for this. Let the boys make a mess of their rooms.
Academic Rigor Many of the courses at Saint Mary's are very challenging and demanding. The professors expect a lot out of their students because they want them to go far. If you are struggling in a course, there are different centers around campus to help. Your professors will also be happy to help you, most of them care for you as if you are their own child (a great perk of being at a small school).
Tips for prospective students If you are thinking of coming to Saint Mary's, I would definitely suggest visiting the campus first. On different visit days, you have the opportunity to meet the other women that already attend the school or also plan on attending. This is a great way to see if you fit the environment of the school. If you do come to Saint Mary's as a student, get involved. There are a variety of clubs and organizations. This is an excellent way to meet people with similar interests and at the beginning being involved can help you get over any homesickness you may be feeling.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College is a beautiful all-women's Catholic college located across the street for Notre Dame University and next door to Holy Cross College. There are currently around 1600 students, so the class sizes are small and the professors know their students. The school provides many opportunities for the women, such as a variety of majors, a large network to aid in job applications, and a chance to take classes at the other two schools.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very safe, but security will not hesitate to ticket your car.
Clubs and Activities Some on campus stuff, and plenty to do at ND
Bang for the buck You can get a lot more for the over $41,000 that it will cost you to attend per year. It really all depends on how much of a scholarship you get, but (in general) does the tuition/fees/board price tag match the quality of education and experience? No.
What to do for fun Students just go to ND. Many students are overly boy-crazy, and are not positively perceived in the community. This is not all students at the institution, but it is a reputation that at least impacts ALL students at SMC.
Food and Dining Very average food, but decent hours. Thanksgiving dinner is good!
Dorm Life If you get Le Mans or Holy Cross you are fine, but Regina is a pit.
Academic Rigor Very average difficultly. I expect more from a college that would like to be perceived as a prestigious Women's College. It may have been difficult at some point in history, but not now.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This school is great for girls who want to get the most out of an education without worrying about being judged. It's for girls who will work hard in a really tight knit community.
Bang for the buck You really get the benefits of both Saint Mary's and Notre Dame's campuses while only paying for one school. You can do clubs and classes at both schools and can easily get to ND. Although Saint Mary's doesn't have much going on over the weekends, you can still go to ND and participate in activities.
Am enjoying being here I really enjoy being at SMC. Everyone is always nice and there's a really good atmosphere here. It's like a sisterhood.
Am learning a lot The classes are really small, so the professors really get to know each student as an individual. They really care about how you do in their class and will go out of their way to make sure that you get the help you need in classes. Although classes can be challenging, you really learn a lot in them.

Categories Comments Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus An island is in the middle of Lake Marion on campus and is only reachable by going across a bridge. The tradition says that the first boy you cross the bridge with is the boy you're going to marry. There are trees on the island with the couples names carved on them. Saint Mary's girls are also known for being proposed to on the island/bridge before their spring semester senior year (their ring before spring)
What to do for fun We have a big event called the Toastal each year where a popular singer/band comes and does a concert at Saint Mary's. This year we had Samual Adams and the year before Sean Kingston. Also about once a month a big movie screen is set up outside featuring a recent, popular movie and free popcorn and other snacks are set up.
Food and Dining There is one main dining hall (cafeteria style) which has a variety of different kinds of food to choose from each day. There is also a Cyber Cafe right next door that you can grab food quickly. Dalloways is another smaller cafe where some food is available along with coffee drinks.
Dorm Life Choose your roommate carefully it will determine how your first year of college goes. Each dorm floor is divided into sections and you have a section meeting about once a month discussing things coming up. The dorms are pretty relaxed you don't have to check in overnight guests or visitors and can come and go as you please. You're an adult and they treat you like one. Since this is an all girls school, guys can only go in the dorms until midnight during the week, and until 2am on the weekends.
Academic Rigor Academics are serious here, especially in the Medical fields like nursing, biology, and chemistry. If you are taking any classes in any of those fields don't take other difficult classes, you will get overwhelmed quickly.
Tips for prospective students Consider what you want your major to be and if you will actually enjoy the classes. Don't overwhelm yourself with too many classes too quickly. Go to the events on campus, even if they sound boring they always turn out to be fun!
In three sentences Saint Mary's combines old traditions with new traditions. The history and stories of the college make it a great place to be. Saint Mary's inspires you to be the best person you can be and to open yourself up to all of the experiences the world has to offer.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Great, we always have security people driving around, we have safety lights or buzzers and we even have blinkie, a name we call a van that that hauls students around from Notre Dame back to Saint Mary's.
Clubs and Activities There are so many!
Great for these types of students You will have some interesting adventures.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Our campus is very haunted... Enough said.
What to do for fun Well it is college so there are always parties to go to, there are always dances, clubs, musicals. My friends and I would always walk over to Notre Dame and eat over there and hang out and join in on some of their activities. The Notre Dame games are the best!
Food and Dining I liked my food for about the first maybe 3 months of school. Then got so sick of it, I swear it seemed like I had the same thing each day for lunch and dinner, a ceasar salad with grilled chicken.
Dorm Life I loved living on campus! In fact I cannot wait to come back to school. I met some great people and had some fun times. The independence is great as well, I loved being able to leave when I wanted to and not have to answer to someone. dorm life is so great, it is such a good experience.
Academic Rigor Saint Mary's is a very challenging school. I certainly learned that the hard way. You have to stay focused and always study, because they move at such a fast pace and some professors have very high expectations.
Tips for prospective students Always stay focused, study study study, and try to get as much sleep as you can. Sleep is very hard to come by when your in college. Just also try to enjoy college as much as possible because it does fly by. Try to also get a head start on your assignments, it will make things a lot easier and less stressful.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College has given me so many opportunities, not only have I come to learn more about myself but I have also found who I am as a women. Saint Mary's is small and there is always one on one attention with your professors. It is a great place to be and everyone is so helpful and wants you to succeed.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are all sorts of traditions, including serenading, running through fountains, etc.
Bang for the buck I love campus, its absolutely great, I can't imagine going anywhere else. The professors are fantastic, personal and helpful.
What to do for fun There are always great activities, Notre Dame is across the street and the football games are so fun! Saint Marys has great sports as well! Eddy Street commons is full of restaurants and shops and is a ten minute walk from campus.
Food and Dining THe dining hall is okay, lots of options but not always great. Cyber Cafe is great, very convenient, and great food.
Dorm Life The dorm life is great, they always have different activities, and the school is great at matching up random roommates!
Academic Rigor THe classes are hard, but thats part of college, if it wasn't challenging, it wouldn't be worth it.
Tips for prospective students Visit the Campus, you will never know where you are truly meant to be until you are on the campus, among the students, and talking to the professors. If you can picture yourself there for the next four years, you know that you have found the right place!
In three sentences Saint Marys is a great place, its quiet and beautiful. Campus is captivatingly beautiful and a great place to study. The dorms and buildings are full of history and a great place to live.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security consistently makes rounds of the residence halls and answers the phone immediately when they are called. I feel very safe here!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a very large convent on campus! It is possible to join clubs which spend time with the sisters.
What to do for fun For fun I would suggest taking a short ride (bus or car) to Eddy Street Commons at Notre Dame for food, drinks, and shopping!
Food and Dining The dining hall is small and can be a bit repetitive in the food they serve; however, I am pleased that they keep a portion of their breakfast choices out in the open for the whole day to be enjoyed. They Cyber Cafe (right next to the dining hall) has hot food at very reasonable prices but their convenience store products are grossly overpriced.
Dorm Life Those who try to make friends with dormmates do so, but those who don't try lead pretty solitary lives but the dorms host parties and events regularly for those who are interested. McCandless Hall is sometimes conducive to doing homework and studying but also can be a bit loud at night. There is always somebody at the front desk to help guests if they get locked out of their rooms or the building.
Academic Rigor The English classes require much reading and writing, but there is lots of guidance available for those who schedule appointments. The more effort invested in the foreign language classes, the more benefits are reaped! There is a sizeable difference in the toughness of a chemistry test depending on the teacher who concocted the test.
Tips for prospective students ~The dining hall's atmosphere is geared not only for students who are eating with a group of friends but also for people who are eating alone. ~There are plenty of vegetarian choices at the dining hall. Don't worry about that! ~Regina seems very hotelesque in both the noise (or lack thereof) and layout! ~The McCandless study carrells are extremely useful.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College is a very hands-on, all-girls school with a variety of clubs; however, the clubs in which I have tried to participate aren't as organized as should be expected! The college partners with Notre Dame University for clubs, classes, and other opportunities (such as football tickets), and it is not unlikely to hear frequent talk about SMC girls going to parties at Notre Dame! Finally, everybody who visits and attends Saint Mary's would describe the campus as being beautiful and teeming with nature--and squirrels.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Saint Mary's offers many opportunities. We are able to join clubs on campus, as well as the clubs at Notre Dame since we are the sister school. Furthermore, we are elgible for Notre Dame student tickets to pretty much every student event which Notre Dame offers. Saint Mary's offers a concert yearly to the students which has a big name preformer (We had Shaun Kingston). They also getting interesting speakers to come to campus. Last year they had the famous actress Sigourney Weaver.
Food and Dining There are a few places to eat on campus. Noble dining is the main cafeteria, and it had a decent amount of food options. I think the food is good. The campus offers both healthy options, and non-healthy options which I like as its not hard to find a food that you're in the mood for.
Dorm Life The dorm rooms are decent sized when compared to alot of other colleges. Since it's an all girls school it's nice because the dorms are very relaxed. It's no big deal to leave your room looking like a mess.
Academic Rigor Saint Mary's College is challenging academic wise. Most teachers tests are fill in the blank and essay questions, which is good as it really makes you learn the material. Although the courses are challenging, they are an appropriate challenge that are doable.
Tips for prospective students I recommend taking advantage of teachers office hours when having trouble in a class. The teachers at Saint Mary's really want to see you succeed, so they are always really helpful. Also, I suggest getting active within the school. Saint Mary's is the sister school of Notre Dame, so a good way might be to buy football tickets in the student section.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College is an all girls school which prides itself on being like a sisterhood. The curriculum is challenging, thus giving an excellent education. The campus is beautiful.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Going to Notre Dame for parties is always fun! And what is awesome is that Saint Mary's girls can join clubs at Notre Dame, so it is definitely the best of both worlds. Also all the clubs you can join here can be so much fun. And the mall is not so far from here, and if you go by bus, the bus is free for students.
Food and Dining The food is not great, but it is edible! There are few varieties but trust me, you can make it though. The greatest meal of the day is always breakfast because there are so many options! I just love breakfast in Saint Mary's.
Dorm Life The dorms are old, but they mostly all have sinks. The rooms are a good size whether they are double, triple, quad, or single. They are expensive but living in dorms is requirement for three years, yes you must live here until you are a senior. It seemed like crazy, but they do it for a reason-it's because living here makes it easier to adapt to college life, and more likely to join the campus activities, it's all part of becoming a closer sisterhood.
Academic Rigor Science courses are intense and of course required, and the English department is strong as well. Both of these are general requirements but they really do make you ready for the courses you want to major in.
Tips for prospective students Get prepared for anything thrown at you-get ready to be tested hard and make sure you have a pace of how fast to read. Here you will seriously read all six books required for the class and learn how to manage time. There's so many things going on around campus, you won't be able to do them if you are behind reading, homework, and lab work.
In three sentences I give Saint Mary's on a scale of 1-10 an 8.5. The professors are amazing, and so helpful but the dinner meal plans are very expensive and not much variety on food! Also financially students are give plenty of scholarships and grants from the school which is great!

Categories Comments Campus Safety It is a small campus so you can always see the campus police cars rolling around every few minutes. Each girl is given Security's phone number during move in week. All entrances and exits to buildings are covered by cameras and each dorm has strict 'parietals'.
Greek Life There are no Greek sororities on campus. The campus itself is very small so traditionally it has been viewed that every girl at Saint Mary's College is part of the sigma mu chi sorority. Sigma mu and chi are just the letter SMC.
Clubs and Activities There are a few service clubs on campus, but most of the strange interest based clubs are offered to Saint Mary's girls from Notre Dame. We can take part in them, but sometimes it is a hassle to get to Notre Dame and back around your normal schedule.
Great for these types of students Any and all dedicated students can find a place on campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Public transportation is offered between Saint Mary's and Notre Dame as well as to the mall and popular shops surrounding the campuses. The route between SMC and ND is called the sweep. If you can't make the sweep or are afraid at night you can call for Blinky. Blinky is the SMC security van that has a yellow flashing light on top of it. On campus there is a graveyard as well as a convent of Holy Cross nuns who love to talk to students.
Bang for the buck Tuition is expensive. However, the small classes allows you to have more one-on-one experience with your instructors. The programs are excellent and the campus itself is beautiful. Whenever you feel the need to escape the small community feeling, Notre Dame and South Bend are right there for you to escape to. There are many scholarship and financial aid awards offered and with Saint Mary's has a high job placement rating after you graduate so it is definitely worth it.
What to do for fun Notre Dame is across the street and the Saint Joseph river separates Saint Mary's campu from Holy Cross, so there are a lot of kids your age in the area to meet and hang out with. Every week there are activities hosted by the colleges such as concerts, intermural or varsity sports, or just theme nights in the dorms or restaurants on campus. Not to mention that South Bend is open for you to go to. Where you go and what you do are really up to you. Movies, parties, restaurants, sporting events, going to the mall, etc. are all options that are open to you.
Food and Dining Some days it's really good; other days, not so much. The meals during the week are generally really good with the main entrees changing everyday at the specialty stations. There is pizza and pasta everyday, but there are specific days of the week where there is pork chops, vegetarian chili, or chicken nuggets served. Weekends are usually leftovers and not all of the stations are open, so don't expect the dining hall to have exactly what you want from earlier in the week.
Dorm Life Living in the dorm your first year can be tough, but it's definately worth it. At Saint Mary's everyone on your floor is really close. You learn who your neighbors are pretty quickly. Everyone greets you in the hallways and there is a sense of community. That being said, remember that this is a lot like an apartment. If you have stuff you don't want taken, lock your door. If you don't mind striking up short conversations with people who walk by, leave your door open when you are in the room.
Academic Rigor Everything you have heard about college is true. It is challenging. You have to stay on top of your course work and pay attention, especially if you are taking a heavier course load. Just like in high school, there are classes that are more difficult than others. For instance, you are going to have to spend more time on a math or science class than a general music or histories class. Overall though, each class pushes you to use your time wisely.
Tips for prospective students You need to know what you are capable of. If you can handle an 18 credit hour semester go for it. If you aren't sure, don't be afraid to start with less. The transition from high school to college is difficult so be aware of what you can handle. Also, learn time management skills. Classes are not going to be one after another all everyday from seven to 3 like it is now. Make sure that you can set aside time for homework, activities, and most importantly to eat. Knowing what you can handle and the time management skills that help you to manage it are going to be vital for a successful college life.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College is an all girls college in Notre Dame, Indiana on the northern outskirts of South Bend, IN. It is the sister college to both the University of Notre Dame as well as to Holy Cross College. With small class sizes, actually small total student population overall, and excellent academic programs, Saint Mary's really helps personalizing secondary education and helping you to pursue your interests.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have security that can transport you at night time from here to Notre Dame if you have things to do and we also have a van (called blinkie) that can take you there or just around campus.
Clubs and Activities We have a lot of interesting clubs for all types of things. We have clubs for your class subjects, drama club, language clubs, and many other fun clubs. Among these clubs there are a variety of community service clubs as well.
Great for these types of students This school is really a great place for those that like to get an all around school experience. We don't just focus on our majors, we also take a lot of other interesting courses that will make us well-rounded people for the future.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Because we are a traditionally Catholic school, we have different breaks than most other universities or colleges (easter break or a week long fall break).
What to do for fun There are a lot of places in the South Bend area that you can explore. We also have small events like dances, picnics, and decorating things within the different dorms. A lot of people like to enjoy our scenery by going for runs or taking a walk around.
Food and Dining The food is great. We try to incorporate a lot of different cultures from time to time. The food is always fresh and there is quite a variety of food to choose from. Our school has been trying to have healthier food and we have a selection of food for gluten free eaters.
Dorm Life The people here are very nice and there is always help available to students either at the front desk or the resident advisor on each floor. There are also quiet hours for those students that have things to study for.
Academic Rigor The courses here are very insightful and they are not easy but they are very fun to take. The students and the teachers are focused about the subjects they are in/ teaching.
Tips for prospective students Don't hide in a shell. Just try and be yourself and make lots of connections because they carry on with you even if you decide not to attend this college.
In three sentences Saint Mary's is a great school that promotes the education of women and helps them along their journey as a person. The professors are very passionate about the subjects they teach and each teacher wants to help you do your best. The campus is absolutely gorgeous and the area around it is full of great things (malls, restaurants, other universities,etc.).

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very Safe. There is a bus that takes students to Notre Dame and a bus that drives around St. Mary's to pick up students anywhere.
Greek Life No greek life but Notre Dame dorms are like Greek Life. The whole school feels like a sorority.
What to do for fun Notre Dame football! Football weekends are the best.
Food and Dining Dining hall could use a tune up but it's not too bad.
Dorm Life Great for girls who want to focus on studying during the week and then relax and party on the weekends.
Academic Rigor Courses are challenging but intellectually stimulating.
Tips for prospective students Visit! You will know if Saint Mary's is for you if you visit. It's a place that feels like home in your heart.
In three sentences Saint Mary's is a great academic environment. The faculty is very supportive and interesting in the progress of their students. While the courses are challenging, it is a great intellectual environment that provides women with great skills for the future.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is small and usually pretty safe. Security are always available to pick you up from somewhere if you are drunk, lost, or simply scared to walk alone.
Greek Life Greek life does not exist at Saint Mary's, and it really is a blessing in disguise!
Clubs and Activities Clubs and activities on campus are decent, but the majority of the bigger events are held on Notre Dame's campus.
Great for these types of students FEMALES. Seriously, all types of people are here, so come and discover yourself.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus First off, there is an old rivalry between Notre Dame girls and SMC girls vying for the love of Notre Dame boys. Make of it what you will. One special location that everyone must know about on campus is Lake Marian. It is a pond located in the southeast part of campus, and there is a famous bridge on Lake Marian. It is believed that if one crosses the Lake with a boy, the two are destined to be engaged.
Bang for the buck What you see at Saint Mary's is pretty much what you get. I would recommend staying the night on campus and getting a tour from a current student to really know what to expect.
What to do for fun SMC does not really have parties on campus, as most of those are held at Notre Dame. However, there are always little events going on, including movie nights, musical performances, plays, guest speaker presentations, etc. Also, each class has a formal dance held every year, so you will have an excuse to invite a crush over to your side of the lake.
Food and Dining The dining hall food really is not that great, but the cafe has good meals and snacks, and across the street there is a Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Subway, Burger King, etc. Also, many food places in the area deliver, so if it comes down to it, you always have the option of staying in and having the food brought to you.
Dorm Life There are only four dorms on campus, but each has its own style and charm. Le Mans looks a bit like any dorm at Hogwarts, McCandless is loud and hectic (since only freshmen live there), Holy Cross has long beautiful walls and the health center is located downstairs, and Regina has the worst reputation but it is actually really nice (and the first floor has the only dorm rooms on campus where air conditioning is available!).
Academic Rigor The college is overall challenging, but everyone is challenged in different ways, so you are not expected to keep up with your genius roommate.
Tips for prospective students Bring a winter coat, an open mind, and a love for yourself as an independent woman before you dare approach those Notre Dame boys (or girls!) across the street. No matter what college you go to, love yourself for who you are above all things.
In three sentences Saint Mary's is like a community of the sisters you always wanted. The classes can be challenging, but they are also small enough that every professor knows you well and is willing to help. All in all, being an SMC Belle is an experience you cannot get at a large or coed school, and not even at every women's college.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck It's a good college but there's nothing that really stands out. I would like to have more activities offered on the actual campus instead of feeling like I have to go over to another college on the weekend. Saint Mary's has one small convenient store which has a ok coffee shop inside. I would like to have maybe a Starbucks or one fast food restaurant located on campus to have some other options available and not have to take a trip to ND to get Taco Bell. Other than that, the class sizes are great and the professors are always available to help!
What to do for fun Go to Notre Dame, or take a bus to the local mall.
Food and Dining Not the best but it's not the worst either. Probably similar to every other college campus dining hall.
Dorm Life Not much to do on campus. Most weekends are spent either going over to Notre Dame or staying in with friends.
Academic Rigor Always homework and studying to get done, but if you're having trouble in any of your classes, your professor is almost always available and there are student tutoring sessions as well.
Tips for prospective students If you're coming from a big city, then you might be in for a shock. There are not many off-campus activities available. Notre Dame and Holy Cross are the 2 colleges that are also in the area. You can take a 10-15min walk over to Notre Dame or wait for the school provided bus to get there, which goes around every 30 mins. Notre Dame has a few different fast food restaurants and a bigger convenient store selection.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College is an academically challenging school in the small city of South Bend. It has small class sizes so getting one-on-one time with your professor is easy. It is an expensive all women's college but most girls I know here have all received large scholarships.

What to do for fun For fun my friends and I like to hang out and watch movies. We also enjoy going over to Notre Dame to participate in activities as well. There are movie theaters and tons of restaurants to go to that are close as well.
Food and Dining The Dinning Hall is good. However, if you don't want to eat at the dinning hall there is Cyber Cafe, Spes Unica cafe and Dolloways.
Dorm Life Dorm Life is amazing! I live on campus in Holy Cross Hall and I love it. You get to make tons of new friends when living on campus. Also there are activities your sections does together, for example my sections just did spa night last night.
Academic Rigor Classes here at Saint Mary's are very vigorous. However you have small class sizes so you know all of your professors really well. The professors are very helpful in and out of class if you have any questions.
Tips for prospective students Tips I would give prospective students to any college is when you visit the campus make sure to asks a ton of questions and get to see as much of campus as you can. Also if your able to, see if you can sit in on a class. It is a great way to see if you are comfortable academic wise.
In three sentences Saint Mary's College makes everyone here feel like family. They are very welcoming and loving.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is definitely big here. There are always people at the front desks of each dorm, and you need an ID card to get into side doors. Also, Blinkie drives between Notre Dame and Saint Mary's until 2 a.m.
Greek Life The entire campus is basically a relaxed sorority.
Clubs and Activities There is a lot of variety and even more options at Notre Dame. You can join ALL the clubs! (This is not advisable.)
Great for these types of students Female.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have a Lake, a Labyrinth, and a breathtakingly beautiful campus. We also have a convent that acts as a retirement home, a beautiful church (and chapels in each dorm).
Bang for the buck Saint Mary's is prestigious and the Notre Dame connection doesn't hurt. Also, alumni are very open to helping you with shadowing, internship, or job connections.
What to do for fun Dorm parties are the usual for freshman. Also, Notre Dame brings in a lot of entertainment that SMC chicks have access to for free! Also, football games are a lot of fun.
Food and Dining The food is not fantastic. Like all school food, it gets old quickly. However, there is always the option of eating at Notre Dame where there are a lot more options.
Dorm Life It is very easy to make friends in the dorms. There is a very relaxed atmosphere on campus. The rooms themselves vary, but are all reasonable, if not spacious. There are parietals which means boys are supposed to leave before 2 am. However, seniors can live in a dorm with their dog or cat or bunny!
Academic Rigor This is college; you're going to have to study... a lot... no matter what you do. Saint Mary's is particularly strong in the sciences.
Tips for prospective students Yes, we're an all girls' school. Don't let that scare you. Embrace your inner strong, independent woman. Also, Notre Dame is right across the street...
In three sentences We are the Belles of Saint Mary's. Our mascot is literally a classy lady. How adorable is that?!

Clubs and Activities D3 sports, faith-based clubs, major-based clubs, quidditch, friends with sisters
Great for these types of students Catholic, nursing students, elementary education students...
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are many traditions between Notre Dame and Saint Mary's and events that the two schools join in together.
Bang for the buck I am very satisfied with the education and services I receive based on the amount we pay for tuition. In addition, Saint Mary's College is good about providing financial aid and scholarships for those in need.
What to do for fun For fun, there are usually events to attend on Saint Mary's campus. However, there are also several other colleges and universities in the area, including Notre Dame. Saint Mary's students are allowed to participate in most activities and events at Notre Dame. This includes sporting events, clubs and organizations, parties and several others.
Food and Dining The dining hall staff is dedicated to meeting the needs of the students, especially those with dietary needs. As someone with an intolerance to gluten, I was nervous about finding enough to eat in a dining hall. However, they have done an amazing job to make sure that we are all well-fed.
Dorm Life The dorms are older buildings that, unfortunately, do not have air-conditioning. However, there is wireless internet in all of the buildings and they have a very homey, unique feeling to them
Academic Rigor The classes can be tough, but the professors are all dedicated to ensuring that the students understand the material and will go above and beyond to provide help to students who need it.
Tips for prospective students Do not immediately rule Saint Mary's out based on the all-girls community. I have heard from many people that they never intended on attending Saint Mary's, but now that they do, they couldn't be happier. The University of Notre Dame and Holy Cross College are very close by and the three schools make up a close, intertwined community.
In three sentences I love Saint Mary's College. It is truly the best of both worlds; it provides the small, tight-knit community on campus with the large, well-known university, Notre Dame, across the road that also provides the big sporting events.
