I chose Saint Joseph's College because of the intimate class size and the community that I immediately felt upon visiting campus. I was able to develop strong and long lasting relationships with classmates, professors, and faculty all over campus. I would recommend Saint Joseph's College to anyone that wants to find a home on Sebago Lake! -Ian Barker '24
