From Saint Michael's College
At Saint Michael's College, students are welcomed by a community that feels like family and a campus that feels like home; every faith background, culture, and identity are embraced. From day one, students begin the journey to discover and pursue their purpose so they can achieve successful careers and fulfilling lives. We call this Purposeful Learning – an engaging experience that aids in the transition to college and provides individualized mentorship for four years. Students live on campus all four years which means campus is vibrant, engaged, and always buzzing with activities, clubs, and events.
St. Mike's is located just outside of Burlington, Vermont, a quintessential beautiful college town located between Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains. A liberal arts college, students are intellectually stimulated and inspired by a variety of disciplines which provide flexibility so that they are better prepared not only for an employment marketplace that is constantly evolving.

Saint Michael's College Reviews
Rating 3.82 out of 5 590 reviews
Rating 5 out of 5
I am so grateful that I chose Saint Michael's College to be my home these past four years. Professors here are genuinely interested in your success and are eager to create close bonds with you. The small and tight-knit community provides the perfect setting for you to make close friends and become acquainted with so many people on campus. It's nice to never worry about housing as a fully residential school, and the accommodations are impressive for such a small area. The dining hall is not the best, but it's part of the college experience. Covid put a strain on the community and many traditions, but the students here are passionate and hope to get many cherished traditions back up and running. Come to Saint Mike's!

I have loved every minute of my time at Saint Mike’s! This school has provided what will be many life long friends and fantastic alumni connections for post graduation. The atmosphere is built on community—which I know sounds very cliche, but is the most truthful thing I can say. Everyone looks out for the other members of the community, no matter their position or relation. I cannot say enough good things about Saint Mike’s or my experience, and especially not about the relationships I have built through my involvements as a Purple Knight

I had a fantastic experience at Saint Michael’s. I transferred in for my Junior year from UVM and it was one of the best decisions. I was able to have two internships on campus during my two years which have helped me to decide what I wanted to do after college. I was also able to involve myself in both an athletic team as well as having an on campus job. Even though I was having to juggle so many things, the school really supported me academically and I was inducted into several honor societies, something I hadn’t thought would be a possibility for me. Overall I had a great experience!
