Categories Comments Great for these types of students Those who can afford the private school life. Can't be too dependable upon financial aide here...
Tips for prospective students Call, call, call... They will most likely not call you back. It seriously take you coming in person for them to actually work with you...
Bang for the buck Horribly Expensive! it's totally not worth your money to go here. The financial aide department it horrifically slow, causing you to loose tons of $.
Did enjoy being here Dorm life was rather boring. Not many interesting events on campus, and tons of rule- breaking going on, under the noses of RA's who choose unfairly when to enforce such rules...
Did learn a lot Some stupendous teachers. I loved my religious studies class, and the teacher was more than open to controversial conversations. Kind of surprising for a catholic university...

Categories Comments Great for these types of students St. Martin's offers lots of choices for people interested in business, engineering, and teaching. They have lots of masters and majors in these categories. Also great for students that have lots of financial aid coming in from the government or are able to pay for their education or those with a good record on academics, leaderships, extracurricular activities or sports. Plus it is a peaceful environment where one can relax and at the same time get lots of help and things done. So if one prefers quiet and peace to noise and crowds then this is the place to be. Overall if one is interested in learning, this school provides lots of opportunity and chances for a great education that will serve really well for your future career.
Tips for prospective students Find out your counselor and sit down with him, talk to him, share your fears, weaknesses, ideas and they will try to help you throughout everything. Make sure you are on time and on track and everything should work out. Help can come in different ways and if one is determined to achieve the impossible then they can, because they believe that it can happen and we are powerful in our faith.
Bang for the buck St. Martin's being a private university is expensive though some say less expensive then other private universities. However they do try to help you a lot with the FAFSA and other scholarships. The school itself offers about 100 different types of scholarships that one can apply for or look for other sources for example loans. Not to mention their tuition management systems is helpful because you can pay the money for school monthly and not all at once. In addition the university offers a lot of jobs since 7 out of 10 students at their university has a job with the university. Overall the basic idea is that if one truly tries they can find different sources of income for their tuition while at the same time receiving a private education.
Am enjoying being here While visiting several schools in Washington, what made Saint Martin's University stand out is it's peaceful atmosphere. The place is intimate, quiet and surrounded by 380 acres of green. One can get a blanket sit on the grass and have a picnic, study or even read a book. The church that is also on campus with the university adds even more serenity to the place because sometimes one can hear the bell, which sounds like a soundtrack added to a play to make it stand out and perfect. It's an ideal environment for studying, relaxing and basically enjoying your time.
Am learning a lot Saint Martin's University is a special school in many ways. First it is a private university and that is wonderful because the classes are made up of 15 students or less. It allows one to get the help they need and also create long lasting relationships between teachers and students. All the staff and teachers are welcoming, going the extra mile for their students. Not to mention the wide variety in their programs offering lots of different classes and experiences. One can really relax, feel at home and at the same time get the education they need. In addition the university provides all the tools one needs, from the newest technology to a wide variety of books and even a workout gym. It a place of spirit, passion and education where one can really shine if they out themselves into it.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who like to take life at a slower pace -- this is not Seattle, here -- and who appreciate being surrounded by nature.
Tips for prospective students Bring earplugs! And definitely bring a foam mattress pad. You will thank me your first night. If you are doing your laundry on campus, I recommend doing it in the mornings on the weekend before everyone else is up, or in the mornings on weekdays when everyone else is at classes. Keep an eye and ear out for scholarships and work-study/job opportunities -- going to this school is expensive, and every little bit helps! You might have to network with the people on campus to actually find anything, though.
Bang for the buck I am definitely getting an education worthy of the tuition. Already I can feel that my mind has been stretched to new places, to accommodate new dimensions of thinking. However, and this may just be nitpicky, I feel like some of the commodities could be a little better. Several of the tables in Harned Hall are wobbly; a large number of computers take a long time to actually log you in, which is NOT fun in the rush to print out papers before a class in three minutes; at any given time, three of the nine washing machines in Parsons Hall (my dorm building) will be out of order or malfunctioning in some way.
Am enjoying being here As a small-town girl who grew up in a 360-degree panorama of green, I appreciate that the campus is surrounded by trees, providing a cushion from the urban sprawl outside. It is quieter and more peaceful than I thought it would be, for the middle of a city, which is very nice. The library and Harned Hall are great haunts for studying, and the latter is popular for socializing over a cup of coffee. When the weather is nice, you can go on a long nature walk with a friend, or camp out on a bench to chat or just people-watch. Somehow, it never becomes dull to hear the abbey church bells or to see the monks walking around on campus, either teaching or attending classes themselves. I knocked off a star from a full score because the dorms are frequently noisy. I do not know if it depends on what RA you have, but in my experience, quiet hours are rarely enforced outside of Dead Week (before/during finals).
Am learning a lot I can definitely say that I am being challenged in ways that I never was in high school. I considered my public school education to be fairly adequate, and yet in at least one of my classes, I learned things that I SHOULD have learned in public school. This was not a remedial class or a planned lesson -- this was a digression from the topic to explain how a grammatical rule worked, because very few in the class actually knew. It is kind of embarrassing, but I am thankful that I learned sooner rather than later. The professors here are spectacular, in my experience. They are genuinely enthusiastic about their subjects, and they encourage open discussion whenever something is either unclear or simply interesting enough that it is worth straying from the planned lecture to explore.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Can handle all types of learning enviroments, and like to be on the computer to do different assignments.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to look up the professor before enrolling in the class. Some of the professors are easier than others, ask the students about them.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Great for self-motivated and inquisitive students who really love learning about...well, everything!
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to work hard! For most teachers, A's are not easily granted. But if you work hard, they'll respect you and help you out all they can. Take some time out for yourself. Go see some friends or check out an event before you put your nose to the grindstone. And check out great relaxation activities around finals week.
Bang for the buck It is quite expensive to go here, but if you work hard, you can get a lot of money in scholarships that the school approves you for. There's also plenty of student jobs available. When I look at the price and then I look at how many things we get that we don't have to pay out of pocket for (because it's already been paid for by tuition), I think it's worth it.
Am enjoying being here There are so many fun things to do on campus. There are sports to go watch, trails to hike, and cozy hidden study locals for those cold winter days. Anyone can come hang out in Campus Ministry and enjoy the snacks there.
Am learning a lot I learn a tremendous amount every day from everyone at SMU. Not only are the teachers teaching and taking an interest in their students, many of the office workers, monks, and other staff are involved too! I really feel like I'm learning to be a well-rounded, confident, and accomplished person. I'm also being supported by a small, friendly community that creates an ideal learning environment.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus security is great, most are students and are approachable and willing to help anyone. There had been no real dangerous events on this campus. We do have night classes and security is always around, they ate even willing to walk you to your car of you would like, just ask.
Greek Life No knowledge of Greek life
Clubs and Activities There is a large variet of clubs and activies daily on campus.
Great for these types of students Catholic, who strive for good grades, enthudiastic learners, athletes.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Saint Martin's University is a catholic school so we do have religious events and some of the professors are monks but what I love is that they never pressure you to be religious.
Bang for the buck Saint martins can be expensive but the education is great!! And scholarships are easy to find.
What to do for fun Saint Martin's University hosts a lot of great community events. We have a pavilion in campus it seems atleast once a week on average. There are also always sports games going on to attend. We also have a recreational center that is great!
Food and Dining The food here is great! There are plenty of places on campus that have food and all that I have tried taste great!
Dorm Life I have not personally lived in the dorms but I have friends that do and I have spent time in them. The doors have been recently built and are in great condition!
Academic Rigor Saint Martin's University challenges students to push themselves and succeed. I appreciate this in a school because I want to be the best that I can be and Saint Martin's helps me do this.
Tips for prospective students For future students make sure you go to the orientations weather you are a new freshmen or a transfer student, I did not attend and I struggled in my 1st semester finding resources and things like that. Also, get to know your professors, they are all here to help you.
In three sentences Saint Martin's University has a positive and interactive atmosphere. it provides great education with a variety of major and grad programs. It is a campus where I feel comfortable and where I am also fully supported my professors.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students The school is good for students who like small classes and want to actually get to know their teachers and the other students.
Tips for prospective students Cost is a big component for any student. Most colleges will have very similar curriculum. You need to look at the class size and who is actually teaching the classes to make good comparisions. All school want good students so push for academic rewards and go to the school that will provide a decent atmosphere with a low cost.
Bang for the buck Saint Martins is a private catholic college which would make one think it is very expensive. It is one of the cheaper colleges in the Northwest. The school provides good academic scholarships and some opportunities for other grants or scholarships. For the money I think it is better then the state schools. However, like anywhere I do not think enough money is provided for students who are academically strong and also participate in sports. There are more opportunities for minority students who are less qualified then other students.
Am enjoying being here I like the campus and the city of Lacey. The school is close to Olympia and Tacoma so there is alot to do and see. The school is located on 350 acres of beautiful forest and ponds. The students are very nice and I have made a lot of friends both in my classes and out of them. I stay busy and enjoy being here.
Am learning a lot The classes are reasonably small and you have access to the professors for questions. All of the classes are taught by the professors and not student assistants. I am currently taking the basic classes for civil engineering and there is a lot of work involved. However it is a good review and I am learning a lot.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Our Office of Security is great. They have a great staff who are dedicated to keeping students safe. They are also very friendly.
Clubs and Activities There are many things to do and many clubs on campus. Some of the more popular clubs are: Hui 'O Hawaii (Hawaii Club) Filipino Heritage Club Black Student Union Latino Student Alliance Chemistry Club Anyone can join these clubs :)
Great for these types of students Great for ALL students :)
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Places you need to know: Old Main: The big red building at the top of the hill. Many classes and most offices are located here as well as our bookstore and cafeteria. Harned Hall: A newer building with a cafe and classrooms. TUB (Trautman Student Union Building): Where most of the fun activities happen. It's also a great place to hang out or do homework. O'Grady Library REC Center: Where students go to workout or just play sports with friends. Fine Arts Building: For choir, band, pottery, and other art things Marcus Pavilion: Where we have volleyball and basketball games. Also, our Hawaii Club's Luau is held here in the Spring. North Worthington Conference Center: Where formal dances are held as well as other important/formal things on campus. Residence Halls: Where we live :)
What to do for fun Campus Life puts on many things (Comedy night, Open Mic, BINGO, Exam Jam, etc.) that can keep you entertained. We also have intramural sports and Saints Adventures. All these things combined, plus school work, will keep you busy all year round.
Food and Dining The food provided isn't the best, but they try. They're not horrible, but not great either. We have a main cafeteria where we eat, a little cafe where you can buy snacks, drinks, and other things, as well as a convenient store in the Freshmen Residence Hall. There, they have just about anything you may need.
Dorm Life We do not live in dorms. We live in Residence Halls. The difference is that Residence Halls are more community based. A place where everyone can feel welcomed, safe, and get to know each other to develop friendships/relationships.
Academic Rigor Depending on the professor you have will determine how difficult the academic side of college will be. The professors here want you to succeed and will usually accommodate you. As long as you meet them half way, you can make a compromise.
Tips for prospective students Meet with your professors as often as possible as well as your advisors. They want you to succeed and are here to help you. Don't just blow them off and think that you can get through the years without them because they are the biggest help provided. Also, meet the right people who will help you succeed and and drag you down.
In three sentences Saint Martin's University is a very welcoming community with a faculty and staff that help you succeed. There are great facilities and the environment is great. I highly recommend attending this university.

Categories Comments What to do for fun hang out in the Tub, go to the park, relax in the reading room in the library.
Food and Dining i am a commuter so i do not eat school food on campus. i have had a coffee from the cafe, and it wasn't bad; a little bit expensive.
Dorm Life i don't live in a dorm. they do not offer couple or married couple dorms. wish they did.
Academic Rigor this school is difficult. i have had the hardest classes of my life from this school. its very rewarding though.
Tips for prospective students be prepared for stairs! because of the small class sizes if you don't do your assigned reading, it will show. always be on time, because they close the locked doors at start of class.
In three sentences saint martins univ. is a small univ. on a hill in Lacey that focuses on maintaining a relationship between professor and student. most of my class sizes are under 20 students. very intimate.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are a host of campus safety officers that patrol the campus 24/7 and are available by phone call or at the office. The campus is well-lit and feels pretty safe, for the most part. Some incidents still occur occasionally, but things on campus are usually pretty calm. Security officers are also available for escorts if you feel unsafe walking throughout campus by yourself.
Greek Life There are no fraternities or sororities at Saint Martin's.
Clubs and Activities There are several clubs available, including the Chemistry Club, Psychology Club, Gaming Club, Black Student Union, International Club, and more. There are options for many different interests and backgrounds.
Great for these types of students Saint Martin's is a great school for students that enjoy the small-school feeling and are willing to make a strong commitment to their education and personal growth. Saint Martin's offers amazing opportunities and experiences for those who will embrace what it has to offer and can afford to attend.
Bang for the buck Saint Martin's is a private university and the tuition and expenses are pretty pricey. However, it offers such rich opportunities that it is worth it if you can afford it. Applying for scholarships and loans can help off-set expenses, and there are several on-campus jobs available for students. Payment plans are also available to help make payments easier.
What to do for fun The TUB has televisions and arcade games available, as well as a ping-pong table and other forms of amusement. Zumba, Yoga, and karate are offered for free at the Rec Center, and there are Campus Life Events where you can get together with your friends for a good time. If you want to get off-campus, there is a movie theatre nearby as well as several restaurants, or you can take a short bus-ride to Olympia, where there are all kinds of places to visit.
Food and Dining The food is hit-and-miss sometimes but there are items offered consistently that are usually good, such as breakfast sandwiches, burgers, chicken strips, and other items from the grill. There is a fairly good variety of choices but it can become tedious when you eat there for nearly every meal. The food is also over-priced, in my opinion, but having a meal plan can help balance this out.
Dorm Life I enjoy living on campus. Parsons Hall has a cafe/convenience store and offers suites and singles. Events on campus that I enjoyed include open-mic nights, talent shows, musicians, and comedians. Free health and wellness classes such as karate and yoga are offered in the evenings and the Rec Center is available until 11:00 pm. Other than that, I enjoy being able to walk down the hall or over to the next building and hang out with friends from school.
Academic Rigor For the most part, courses are challenging and engaging. This is especially true of upper-level classes. There are some gen-ed classes that are easier and don't require as much work, and it can be a good idea to balance these in your schedule with courses that are more demanding.
Tips for prospective students Maintain a good balance between academics and your social life. Your education should be your priority, but get out and have fun too. If you consistently stay on top of assignments, you'll have more time to relax and do what you want.
In three sentences The professors sincerely care about the students, and there is a great teacher/student ratio. I love the small-school atmosphere and feeling like I am part of a community. Overall, I have greatly enjoyed my experiences here but I do wish it was more affordable.

Categories Comments Campus Safety They work very hard to insure campus security and safety. The students may call the security office to receive an escort to the dorms or to their car. However, the school has had several issues in the past.
Clubs and Activities Most clubs revolve around sports or academics.
Great for these types of students If you're religious, you may enjoy the campus and the atmosphere more than the non-religious students.
Bang for the buck Overpriced school that doesn't make the effort to help their students.
What to do for fun Olympia is a fun city, but does get old after a while. Downtown has a lot of events.
Food and Dining Over priced, and poor options. Luckily, Fred Meyer's is just across the street. What one sandwich coasts at the school will buy a week's worth of food supplies from the store.
Dorm Life I was a commuter. As such, I do not know what dorm life was like.
Academic Rigor Classes aren't terribly hard, give or take one or two picky professors.
Tips for prospective students Have the Aid office sign a form confirming that you have turned in your documents.
In three sentences Expensive and unhelpful. Most requirements are not told to students, yet they are expected to know everything. Hard to navigate and communication is poor.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus Safety is a plus here on campus. They're always on the look out!
Clubs and Activities We have an enormous selection of clubs, like a Hawaii club, a Latino Student Alliance club, BSU, Bio Club. From cultured clubs to academics clubs the campus is full of them, just make sure to check your emails for meeting and their events.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have the Abbey church which every Sunday at 7 there is a student led mass for those who are interested and all are welcome. It's more modern for us in the younger generation and the monks are also involved in everything that goes around campus.
Bang for the buck Money is tough, for being a private university. But there are people in the community and the Aluminum's donate a whole lot to the school and that money goes to the students that need it, Through out the year, there are whole bunch of scholarships given, you just have to keep an eye for them.
What to do for fun We have a CampusLife group and PROs group which host pretty fun events. Like dances, comedy nights, bingo nights and more. The whole is spirited so when there comes the time of our home games everybody joins together!!
Food and Dining Food is good! You'll find foods you'll love. Not at home cooked meals but it's all enjoying.
Dorm Life For first year students there are separate dorms, it's coed. But other then that it's a great place to hang out, to bond with everyone and to have study sessions.
Academic Rigor I love it here, no place else I'd rather be. The professors are always respectful and fun to talk to. Open up to them and they will open up to you.
Tips for prospective students Take advantage of our resources, they help out a bunch when needing help for a class or for any assignment.
In three sentences SMU is the place to be. Small classes, awesome resources and wonderful bonds, you will have for a life time. More one on one time is what we all deserve, also for being a private school we have the best entertainment ever!!!

Categories Comments Campus Safety The school is next to the police station, and the polices just go in and out. That is why I think that campus safety is very good.
What to do for fun There are an amazing gym in the campus and many activities that the school has during the school year.
Food and Dining Even though I am very picky in what to eat, I really love the food here.
Dorm Life The dorms look good, but are kinda expensive for me. The school has a small church inside the campus, and they usually have activities for students at night.
Academic Rigor As I have seen, most of the professors here are pretty nice and devoted to their classes.
Tips for prospective students Take as many general classes as you can before you transfer here, if you are about to. It will give you more time to focus on your major classes and the classes that this school specifically requires like religion or philosophy.
In three sentences This school is a private and religious school. I was amazed by the facility that they have and how small every class is. In turn, you have more chances to communicate with your professors.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is very high. Too high actually. They are kind of weird and overly zealous.
Greek Life No greek life.
Clubs and Activities Lots of clubs and programs to join if you are up for all that.
Great for these types of students If you are serious about going to college and getting a degree this is a good school for you. If you want to party and goof off, you will fail out quickly. The engineering program is great for being employable at the end of it all, and the social work program has a fair amount of respect within the field too.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a monastery on campus, if that can be considered unusual. Other than that, there is nothing to jazzy to share in this category.
Bang for the buck If you get good grades you can go to grad school at a more prestigious school, like an Ivy League, but if you want to roll straight into a career the business and engineering programs are designed for that as well. In general this school has pretty good bang for your buck, but considering the price tag, dont go here to get a useless degree. Plan on working after you get your degree, unless you have rich parents. There are many career fairs too, if you need help with getting a job.
What to do for fun There are plenty of things around in the area to do for fun. Most of them involve driving somewhere, so it's more convenient to have a car. However, even without a car the usual things are available. Movies, shopping malls, and a variety of food options. If you don't have a car campus life does organize ski trips, movies at a discounted price, and soccer and pro football games frequently. Also, most basketball games that are away but still local (like Seattle) will have buses attending and usually for only a couple dollars. Of course you must wear teams colors to attend! :)
Food and Dining Although students do like to complain about food, probably because anything other than pizza bites is not to their liking, the food here is very good. It's incredibly expensive, but it's pretty good. Lots of healthy options, and the menu is adequately varied. Like I said, it's expensive but tasty and good.
Dorm Life Slightly over half of all the dorm rooms on Saint Martin's campus are brand new, so the quality of life is pretty high. It's a great campus to live on and the high speed internet is pretty much always fast, not bogged down by high use times. The 'community' aspect is pretty good too, there are meetings so that you know the people living around you, also there are high standards for quiet, cleanliness, and overall politeness. I've enjoyed it thus far.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor varies depending on the degree program you take. In general though, the academic rigor is fairly high, more so for science and math, but overall the education you can receive at Saint Martin's is significantly higher in quality than state schools.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to write and read critically and thoroughly. If you are not adept at writing a standard five paragraph essay by the time you finish high school, then get some help. Do not drag the other students down if you are not prepared for college work, there are a multitude of classes, workshops, and extra prep sessions to get you ready. Take advantage of the opportunity to push yourself academically at Saint Martins.
In three sentences Saint Martin's University is a fine institution. There are some management problems arising from the president and the office staff making way too much money, while the rest of the college, teachers are students, are left to fend for themselves. It is a great institution when it comes to student teachers interactions and obtaining a great education.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I feel very safe. I usually see a police car driving through campus at least once a day. There are several large emergency button lights on campus and the walkways and parking lots are well lit. There are no through streets on campus. There is a 24 hour security guard or escort service, most work study and Criminal Justice major, and most take their job seriously. They can be called anytime. There are transients in the woods surrounding campus, but I have not seen one yet and I do not feel endangered at all when I am walking in the dark.
Greek Life None
Clubs and Activities There are many great clubs, but most aren't advertised well. You have to search for them, but they are worth it and further your experience. There could still be a greater variety of activities, though.
Great for these types of students SMU is great for social students who also like the small-community feel. You will not know everyone, but you will probably recognize most people, especially the traditional students. I do like time alone, and though this is a social campus, I do not feel claustrophobic at all. It is a great balance.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus People here LOVE Bingo Night. Also, we hang out with the monks on campus frequently. It is not uncommon to see students eating with a monk or even one of them on a student's skateboard. Even students 21 or older go off campus and drink with the monks sometimes. I think that is a distinct quality of SMU.
Bang for the buck Saint Martin's costs a lot. One of the only main drawbacks of SMU is the financial aid. But also, SMU creates a community that I don't believe any other place has. So I say it is worth it.
What to do for fun The school frequently organizes fun trips to Portland or to sports games for very cheap. Also, the student union building has video games, movies to borrow, pool and ping pong tables, and frequent informal dances and other events, such as the ever-popular Bingo Night. There are always events to go to with tons of prizes. Also, reduced price movie tickets are sold weekly and other places, like the mall, blacklight mini golf, etc are within walking distance.
Food and Dining No matter where you go, people will complain about the food. The lunches here are almost always wonderful with tons of choices. Breakfast is nearly as good and dinner is only okay. Dinner has fewer choices, especially with people with dietary restrictions, but the staff is very willing to work with students with those needs. A big problem is that they cut their meat poorly. But overall, the food is good, not great. But there is a hot chocolate machine that is to die for. I was never a hot chocolate person before, but not, I sometimes have three cups a day. It's delicious!
Dorm Life I lucked out by being on a calm and neighborly floor. Not all of them are like that, but I have been extremely satisfied with my decision to live on campus. Even on weekends, the dorm is relatively quiet on my floor, which I like, but I know exactly where to go if I want something different. Also, the resident staff and RAs are reasonable and helpful.
Academic Rigor So far, I have been very satisfied at SMU academically. It has prepared me for my major from the start, which lends itself to more flexibility if I had chosen to change my course of study. I feel challenged, but I also know that the system is organized and connected, so that I can get excellent help whenever I need it and I know exactly where to get it.
Tips for prospective students Do not procrastinate with anything, and be persistent, whether it be applying for a job on campus or trying to get balance statements from Financial Aid. Also, keep an open mind and you will succeed at Saint Martin's.
In three sentences Saint Martin's is great at making students feel at home. Everyone, including the staff, are close and caring. SMU may not be the best school for athletics, or food, or scholarships, but it does offer students a home. The academic opportunities and unique atmosphere make it a smart college choice.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Saint Martin's University is committed to student safety as displayed by the additional outdoor lighting and blue light emergency dialers all over campus that were installed after a survey was to have found that students did not feel safe certain places on campus at night. In addition to this, public safety is open 24/7 and is available to student to be escorted to and from anywhere on campus and the Lacey police station is merely a block away.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus When there is a lot of snow on campus, students will hike up to Mama Gertie's (Saint Gertrude's Cafe) and get food trays to sit on and slide down the Great Old Main Hill--that is, until public safety comes to get students in trouble.
Bang for the buck Saint Martin's University assesses all incoming students as first year students as opposed to transfer students, ultimately optimizing scholarship opportunities.
What to do for fun Saint Martin's University is a dry campus committed to giving students a variety of healthy social activities to partake during the college experience. For the adventure seeking students, Saint's Adventures hosts a wide variety of activities including indoor rock-climbing at the Warehouse gym in downtown Olympia, monthly trips to Whitepass Ski Resort, discounted tickets and free transportation to Seattle Sounders Soccer games, and an annual trip to Mount Hood Meadows Ski resort. For students looking to display their creativity and talent, there is an annual talent show, monthly open-mic nights, and craft nights. For students looking to show off their school spirit, there are many sporting events that students can attend including women's volleyball games, men's and women's soccer games, or even men's and women's basketball games.
Food and Dining Bon Appetit is the food service provider at Saint Martin's University. This company is strongly committed to providing nutritious meals to students by partaking in the farm to fork campaign-- purchasing seasonal and regional ingredients from a 150-mile radius of campus. There are four different meal plans that students can choose from including commuter, bronze, silver, and gold depending on a student's dietary needs.
Dorm Life Saint Martin's University is committed to finding the best roommate situation after reflecting on the roommate questionnaire forms filled out at the time of enrollment. Roommate placement plays a large roll in dictating how well a freshman's first year experience will go and residence life coordinators display strong concern for this in how they select roommate placements. Both the residence hall directors and resident life assistants help maintain a healthy balance between socializing, studying, and sleeping.
Academic Rigor College is challenging but what makes Saint Martin's University distinct is that it has a student to faculty ratio of 12:1, helping students better attain a better education. The largest lecture hall seats 45 students and that alone displays the universities commitment to having faculty easily establish inter-personal relationships with their students. Professors will go out of their way to make more time for their students outside of office hours to ensure academic success.
Tips for prospective students For prospective students, I would highly recommend taking a campus tour during the academic year and scheduling an appointment with an admissions counselor. When taking the campus tour, one can see what the campus is like in session and how one feels about being there during it. The admissions counselor will immediately show you the scholarships you can apply for and the ones you are automatically eligible for.
In three sentences Saint Martin's University is a school committed to giving their students the most success before, during, and after attending college. There are many unique opportunities given to students because of its' small size, affordability, and location.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are several intramural sports and collegiate sports to either join or go and watch. The gym on campus is nice and free if you are a student. There are also several events throughout the week put on by different clubs and organizations on campus, so there is also something to do if you are looking
Food and Dining Because it is a pretty small campus, there are not a whole lot of dining options, but I would say that what is available is pretty average for most universities.
Dorm Life I have never had to live on campus since I am a transfer student, but the dorms appear to be nice from the outside.
Academic Rigor Classes are challenging, but I am a computer science major, so it could vary for everyone.
Tips for prospective students Apply for scholarships early and talk to the financial aid office if you are finding it difficult to pay for school. This is what I did and they made it so much easier for me!
In three sentences Saint Martin's is a really nice campus. The staff in all of the departments have been really helpful and friendly, especially the admissions department and financial aid. This is my first semester, but so far I enjoy all of my classes and teachers as well.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is pretty good about keeping everyone safe and campus is well lit and has emergency poles.
Greek Life There is no Greek life on campus due to previous incidents of hazing.
Great for these types of students Religious students especially but religion isn't forced on you, it's there if you want it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Well we have monks on campus that teach or just talk to you.
What to do for fun Campus is full of clubs and athletics, I would highly recommend going to men's basketball games. Or you could even go talk to the monks.
Food and Dining Every year the food starts out pretty decent and then it just goes completely downhill.
Dorm Life Dorms are new but the Resident Assistants are more focused on getting people in trouble than helping you.
Academic Rigor The major I choose was a very difficult one requiring me to spend a lot of time studying but there's other majors that the students don't need to study at all it seems.
In three sentences It's a great place to be and it's really as hard as you want to be or as easy as you want it to be. The campus is absolutely beautiful and there's always new buildings being erected.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Tons of trails to walk on
Dorm Life The dorms are all mostly new! Spacious compared to other dorms.
Tips for prospective students it is a small campus. Some tend to get immersed in the drama that can occur on a small campus. Try to not find yourself in the drama, focus on why you are there. Always focus on the academics and building intellectual relationships.
In three sentences Saint Martin's is a spiritual university that fosters authentic scholarship and encourages students to think out of the box.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Excellent, we even have a text alert program for immediate connection to students when events arise or warnings need to be put out.
Greek Life No Sororities allowed on or off campus although some do arise. Not recommended.
Clubs and Activities Campus girls scouts, mentoring program- coming soon! Rotaract Athletics: soccer, baseball, basketball, track and field, etc. (NO football unfortunately)
Great for these types of students Lots of students come from diverse backgrounds and Saint Martin's University literally has something for everyone.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There was a new fountain built at the top of the main building outside our abbey as well as an on-campus pond with great trails to explore.
Bang for the buck There are lots of local thrift shops, hair and nail salons, parks, and trails to get out and go explore. Restaurants are within walking distance and our close knit community has a lot to take advantage of. Although tuition itself is expensive, so grades are vital to gain multiple scholarship programs. It is very important to seek outside aid as well it is possible to attend and get through college here, but you must make an effort to afford it as well.
What to do for fun There is a lake near by for swimming in the fall, sporting events nightly, comedy shows on weekends, open gym and recreation, the student union building aka the TUB is available for playing pool, ping pong ball, and video games also to host movie nights, and much more. Along with the resident hall game rooms.
Food and Dining Bon Appetite is our food service and they offer all types of foods for eating purposes. We are a diverse school and SMU prides themselves on being able to adapt and accommodate ever cultural need from cury to teriyaki to burgers and fries, we've got it all. Plus delectable desserts.
Dorm Life Residents halls vary, but for First- Years Parsons hall is a newer building fully furnished for the average student. There is a student convenience store that flex- cash can be spent there all inclusive with meal plan and ID card. I have found much pleasure there.
Academic Rigor The courses are helpful, fun, and will be a great impact on your intended field of study. Lots of hands on practice right on campus and everyone is here to HELP.
Tips for prospective students As a first- year student stay on top of classes, study groups, and on- campus activities. We have weekly schedules of events and it is a promising great time filled with fun. The professors are very flexible for meetings and will help you as much as they possibly can.
In three sentences Saint Martin's University is a great school for academic success driven students. The student teacher ratio is similar to a high school or middle school level class room. With being a private college SMU offers a close knit family community, perfect for all those who love to experience new beginnings!

Taifa Stars players and officials board Maputo-bound flight today ahead of their return leg tie of the African Nations Cup qualifier against Mozambique national soccer team to be played at the Zampeto Stadium on Sunday.
The team was flagged off by the Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner Said Meck Sadik yesterday afternoon.
As usual the Government official underscored the need for the players and officials to work with a strong cooperation while maintaining discipline during the crucial mission.
The Regional Commissioner conveyed the team with compliments and blessings from President Jakaya Kikwete who wished them the best of luck to excel in qualifiers as well as flapping the national flag high.
Sadik told the team to put a good performance while Tanzanians including the President are praying for their success.
"By handling the national flag means we have entrusted you to carry out the duty on our behalf and please don't disappoint us", he said.
The RC said he hopes the team would perform in the same way as they crushed Gambia over the weekend during the World Cup qualifier tie at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Sadik was the guest of honour during the qualifier tie and appreciated the Tanzania Football Federation, (TFF) for inviting him to be chief guest.
He said the victory over Gambia has revived hopes of the fans and from now on they would flock in big numbers at the stadium should the team maintain winning streak.
Taifa Stars skipper Juma Kaseja has called for unity between the Tanzanians and players during the flagging off ceremony.
Kaseja said players look forward to add another back-to-back victory in Maputo.
The team's coach Kim Poulsen thanked everyone for the support as he declared the match against Mozambique will be the last after a full month-long before they return to their respective clubs for other assignments.
"We have been camping for a month now and we strive to finish on a high note. We are well prepared and go into this match with full of confidence to realise the dream of featuring in the Nations Cup berth", he said.
The teams drew 1-1 during the first leg tie played at the national Stadium in Dar es Salaam on February 29 as the host side threw overboard a host of scoring opportunities through profligacy.

Christie Blatchford: Caledonia law = Deep South law
"…the law in Haldimand County operates as the law in America's Deep South once worked, where there was one law for the white man, who could break it with impunity, and another for the black man. In Haldimand County, since the occupation began, there has been one law for natives and another for non-natives."

Whether you're demonstrating your do-si-do at the barn dance or beavering away in your workshop, a cold beverage would probably taste good about now.
That's why you'll appreciate this 54-qt. country cooler. It features hand-made barn board construction that adds a little charm to the festivities, but inside is a fully functional insulated cooler with a galvanized steel liner that can hold enough beverages to refresh a bunch of dancers and maybe even the fiddler, too.
Includes a built-in drain plug and bottle opener. Some assembly required.
Customer Ratings & Reviews
54-Quart Country Cooler 6 6
Awesome purchase!!!! Really great quality and price point. Ordered 2 to begin with, and loved it so much, ordered 4 more! Love the details with the bottle opener, Texas stars, and horse shoes. Unscrewed one and put it above my door for luck! One downside is that 2 of the ice bins were missing a few screws, but luckily I had some spare ones that were similar (2" wood screws). Overall, totally satisfied with the purchase, quick shipping, and great value. Looks awesome! March 8, 2013
Easy to assemble. Looks and works great January 9, 2013
Nice Cookout Addition The assembly was quick and relatively simple. The only dissapointment was the lack of feet on the legs to keep water from seeping into the wooden lehs. I overcame this through adding rubber pads to the bottom. Good drainage system in the cooler, and nice decorative touches to the outside.Overall a good buy, as well as a conversation starter. January 9, 2013
Don't Buy This We were so disappointed when we received this item. I understand that this is a rustic country cooler however The cooler is made from pine boards not hand made barn boards. The lid boards are cracked and does not close properly. Very poor paint job. January 9, 2013

Comes from the thought that everything was created as it was about ten thousand years ago, thus it would make a giant "poof!" noise such as a magician making a rabbit disappear. 1. I told you George was a poof, he just made a pass at me in the locker room.
2. The poof goes to church regularly on Sundays. |
6. | poof | ||
something that is blown up, or enlarged.
something a magician does "her dress is poofy"
"thats a bit poofed up" "poof and it appeared" |
To pass gas, or fart quietly. A lady-like fart. Excuse me, I just poofed.

Lightning of the East: Extreme Cult Threats in China
"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" 1 Peter 5:8
The following is a quote from a minister with first hand experience of one of the most Satanic cults I've ever heard of (originating out of "the far East"):
"This satanic cult, 'lightning of the east', is one of the most evil and deceitful cults I've ever seen in China. They are positively wolves' in sheep's clothing; they attack Jesus Christ, twist and defraud the Bible, destroy families and lives, causing great hurt and destruction to Christians who have bought by the precious blood of the Savior! They are devils dressed as ministers of light, workers of Satan, false prophets after the way of Balaam. May the Lord have mercy upon the elect that they may be able to discern, to reject the lies and the deceitful words from Satan, May our brethren returning from ---------, be on the alert! May those that were deceived quickly repent and return!"
This cult has various names, "The Congregation, Church of Almighty God, Seven Spirits Sect, New Power Lord's Church, True Light Sect, or True Way Sect", but it's more common name is "Lightning from the East" or "Eastern Lightning".
Founded in 1989, they were boasting about 300,000+ followers as of the date of this source of information.
According to first-hand information, Lightning of the East has gone through 4 strategic stages and is entering into a 5th, as of yet, unknown stage of strategy.
The first stage was just simple indoctrination and bribery. "Literature" would be passed around and often times money passed along with the literature. They twisted the scriptures, but to those who knew the Bible, this stage was extremely easy to spot as a "cult". This began about 7 years ago.
The second stage began using methods of violence; they would trick people into going to remote places and areas and then capture them. They would poison them, beat them, cut off ears, break thighs, and use cudgels to inflict pain in an effort to force people to join them. This began about 4 years ago.
These first two stages were extremely easy to spot as "cults" and weren't particularly effective.
In the third stage, they turned to more subtle and sly measures of sexual seductions in an effort to "dirty" reputations and blackmail people into joining them. Key in the development of this stage is that they have begun targeting ministers. They ignore "weaker" members of the Church and focus all of their attentions onto the leaders of each congregation.
They try to get these men and women, or their family members into compromising situations to "defame" them and dirty their names and reputations. This stage was relatively successful, unfortunately, and they apparently learned a lot.
Most common is that the seduction will come from a woman or man that is eager to hear the gospel. They have heart-wrenching stories and backgrounds, and know the lingo to appear "sincere".
They have now established HQ's in Xi'an, Shang Xi, and An Hui with areas of influence in many other cities. They've established 12 divisions, including one dedicated to gathering experience, learning from them, and creating new methods to be distributed in "handbooks" and other forms of literature to their members.
Including one handbook dedicated and entitled "how to attack Church leaders". And they have begun issuing rewards for bringing in certain key Christian leaders and elders.
In this phase and every phase following, the Christian's ability to discern is critically tested; being able to know a true seeker and Christian from these cult members is not easy. This is a cult that tests a person's ability to discern.
The fourth stage has become exceedingly sly and should alarm every minister and Christian in China. Unfortunately, for the sake of time, I can't relate every story that has been recounted for me, but I assure you that the language, phrases, and attitudes that these people display are identical to that of every faithful Christian I've ever known.
The growing awareness among the Christians in China is that to recognize these people will require great Spiritual discernment.
During this fourth they have began sending out spies to congregations; often disguising themselves as people that have "escaped" from other cults. These people come declaring that they have no knowledge of the Bible, but earnestly desire the way to eternal life.
One testimony recounts that a spy spent 9 months in a fellowship simply "learning" and getting closer to them. Ministers faithfully ministered to these spies, even baptizing them and praying with them in the name of the Lord.
Later, after a while, the spy went back to his "hometown" to relay the information gathered to their HQ and draw up a plan of attack. The spy returned from her visit home with news of a great number of "believers that have not had the full revelation of God given to them and are in desperate need of the Truth, lest they be led astray". The member pleaded with the Church to send it's best ministers to help these people.
Eventually, and willingly, this Church obliged.
This is important to note; they have specific guidelines on how to target the most valuable members and leaders of each congregation, and strict instructions to ignore weaker members.
Included in this criteria is to observe "what books the member reads", if the member reads books that adhere to teaching the truth, that person may be qualified as a target, but if the person is already reading books that teach lies or falsehoods… or even from other cults, they are to be ignored. This is specifically, accurately, and intentionally designed as an attack on the Church.
For of the best leaders in this Church were led back home to Xi'an where they were met with praise and adulation; people claiming to have received visions of them coming. They brought them to preach and teach to "unbelievers", who repented and "believed".
Then they separated them, saying, "you have such a great gift from God, it's an unwise use of your gift for you to all minister in one place, you must each come with us to minister to more people".
After dividing them, they allowed them to successfully minister, and even "co-minister" with other "ministers" (that was part of the reassuring claim- there'd be other ministers there). At every step, there is a "legitimate need" and a very impressive measure of successful ministry.
Then comes the testing. They will bring in demonic-possessed people and ask them to cast them out. Twisting the scriptures to pressure them; they will bring in "sick" and ask for healings. They will bring in "doubters" and "unbelievers" and ask them to liberate them. Suddenly, these ministers (after so much success) cannot; then they'll bring in someone else, another "minister" who is able to cast out demons, heal the sick, and convert the lost.
This is when they begin to try and indoctrinate them.
Eventually resorting to violence, sleep deprivation, seduction, sensory stimulation, starvation, and other forms of brain washing.
The four ministers mentioned above were kidnapped. They are an example of 4 who eventually escaped, the last one (one of the women) was held in a cave for 5 months straight.
When she escaped, she had to beg on the streets for money for several days just to find food and call her home. She was unrecognizable. And she was absolutely and utterly confused.
In the fifth stage they have begun to evolve even more. This stage is brand new and undefined, except for two new developments;
- They are now sending other members of the cult on "follow up" visits to people who "escape" (or are allowed to escape after they withstand the treatment long enough). They try to convince them that this was for their own good.
- They are moving into "the West". They have already moved into New York and Toronto, and are producing a great deal of literature now (but, not as much online).
Here are some names of their writings: "The voice of God in China", and "Lightning of the East Members Handbook", which is an insiders document only.
With the above information taken from those who have first-hand experience, I want to return to this question: if you believe Satan is active in the world today, how discerning are we regarding his methods being employed, both in the world, and in our own personal lives?
How do you respond? Have you ever known someone who was involved in a cult? What are some other cults that exist that you know about?

Fun little puzzle, emphasis on little. It's basically a miniature centreless edgeless megaminx. Very stiff until you mess around with the tension, but then it turns quite nicely. A little small fro my hands but a fun puzzle nonetheless.

Hunger Games Group Story - People Needed
Chapter 1
The Story
My (AquaWater's) Characters:
Name: Amulet Chatton
Age: 12
Gender: Male
District: 1
Appearance/Personality: 5', blond, green eyes, quiet, not terribly outspoken
Strengths: Small enough to curl up inside small spaces, surprising strength for a 12-year-old
Weaknesses: Not very fast
Weapon(s): Sword
Family: Mom and one sister
Name: Silk Eventide
Age: 16
Gender: Female
District: 1
Appearance/Personality: Long reddish-brown hair, bright blue eyes, about 5'2", sunny, bubbly, fun, used to a life of luxury
Strengths: Fast, flexible, small and able to crawl into tiny spaces, skilled tracker
Weaknesses: Not very strong, can't climb
Weapon(s): Knives, spears
Family: Mom, dad, and one sister, all live on the wealthy side of town.
Districts will be first come, first serve. As for which of the Hunger Games this will be, I'm thinking probably an early one, like the 18th Hunger Games or something like that.
I won't play favoritism. I can tell you right now that I will probably kill off my character. BUT I have a plan after that. When someone's character is killed, it is NOT the end. You will all see when the time comes. :)
First chapter you write will be your reaping. Then you're on your own. We will probably get to the Games pretty quickly after that point anyway.
I think that's it. Please sign up! Thanks guys!

After the Veterans Day Parade, folks gathered in Key Park for a final ceremony and a burger meal sponsored by Walmart.
Dawn Blocker of Walmart welcomed all of those attendees who braved the cold, wet weather, and then the ceremony was opened with Tilly Dillehay's singing of the National Anthem. Representatives of Lafayette Boy and girl scout troops led the Pledge of Allegiance, and then County Mayor Shelvy Linville and City Mayor Richard Driver said a few words. The guest speaker was veteran G.W. Knight, who told of his time in the Vietnam war after being drafted out of Macon County. Awards and presentations were then made to close the ceremony.
