Saint Joseph's College of Maine

Why Saint Joseph’s? I chose Saint Joseph’s College because everyone was welcoming and caring. The field hockey coach was approachable, compassionate, and invested in her athletes both on and off the field. I also felt a strong connection throughout the community and knew St. Joe’s was a place where I could grow as a student-athlete while pursuing my passion for nursing.
