Saint Mary's University of Minnesota — Attraction in Minneapolis

I currently go to Saint Mary's University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities, and I absolutely loved it for a while. The other students and professors as great. The other students are friendly and really want to learn, and the professors are knowledgeable and approachable. As far as administration goes... they are the school's biggest downfall, and the reason why I would not recommend this school to my worst enemy. They make a habit of cancelling classes merely days in advance withou adding a replacement, leaving students who need these classes for a prerequisite out in the cold with no direction. Before applying to this school, PLEASE think twice. One of my most important classes was cancelled 3 days before the start of the semester, leaving me unable to take a prerequisite class for my required internship. As a result, I have to stay an extra semester to take a single class, which I will have to pay for out of pocket because financial aid will not pay for one class. I am not the only student that has been negatively impacted by Saint Mary's cancelling of classes without consideration of students. Before enrolling in this school, consider if you have the time or money to stay an extra semester or two if they decide to cancel a required class at the last minute. It's not something you have control over, and it's a consideration I wish I'd taken, or been warned of, before enrolling. If you aren't willing to spend that extra time or money with Saint Mary's, I would suggest St. Cloud, the U of M, or anywhere else where students are treated with at least some integrity. Good luck in your...

Alison B, the admin staff is the worst. She is unsupportive and incompetent. She does not respond to emails, calls, or voice messages. I needed to figure out my paperwork on my own. I would not recommend...

I have had the most positive experience in my counseling grad program! Instructors are amazing, class times are really accomodating to the working person, and cost is so low for the education...
