My son is interested in studying in a LAC. We have heard many positive accounts from former and current students at St. Mary’s. My son visited the campus recently and liked it very much. His only concern was its isolation, particularly for a student who does not own a car. Do students feel isolated or trapped on the weekends if they stay on campus? Are there shuttle buses to go shopping or visitng at nearby towns? My son would like to take a walk and get a pizze late at night with friends. Are there any restraunts/cafes nearby? Alternatively, do local vendors deliver?
