I really think St. Mary's College of Maryland would do well to change its name. There are too many St. Mary's and similar, including Mount St. Mary's in the same state. All they need is a donor who wants naming rights, like Duke University, right?

"There are too many St. Mary's..."
There is also a Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and a Saint Mary's College in (just in case we aren't already confused enough) Notre Dame, Indiana.
- A "College that Changes Lives".
- Small; near Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee.
- Great opportunities for summer grants; has programs to help with internships or creating your own project.
- You get a mentor as a freshman.
- Has entrepreneurship program including a building downtown for students to use to develop their business ideas.
- Brand-new science center.
- I believe about 14% of students are international students.
- Many students study abroad.
- Nice campus; they are currently building a new student center.
- Known for Anthropology program and museum.
- Many students double major/major and double minor (because credits overlap).
- Roommates matched by hand based off of a form about personality, music preferences, interests.
- Themed housing.
- "First Year Initiatives" courses for first semester; a kind of introduction to college thinking and how classes work. You choose from a list and this class doesn't have to be related to your major; just something you are interested in.
- The general ed requirements are looser then at most colleges; allows you to take classes that interest you.
- Small class sizes and many students call professors by their first names.
