Saint Joseph's College of Maine

Why Saint Joseph's? I chose Saint Joe's because it has a close community, and I liked how connected everyone seemed when I visited. The basketball team felt like a group that really supports each other like a family, and that mattered to me. I've also always liked the campus—it's really pretty and being by the water is something I love.
