prospective students
Great place, great people, great education (with 43 majors and partnership programs)! You'll feel welcome here and faculty and students go the extra mile for each other. St. Joe’s magnificent lakeside setting is also close to town, with plenty of choices for stores, salons, restaurants, movies, malls and clubs in nearby Windham and Portland.
We're closer than you think
Yes, we wear winter coats in January, but we’re just two hours from Boston. Amtrak passenger rail service to Boston makes for a fun day trip! Or if you want to get with nature, the ocean is a short drive in one direction, and the mountains are a short drive in the other. Take your pick.
The Portland Advantage
Portland
is Maine’s largest city and Outside magazine lists it
among its “Dream Towns.” National
Geographic Adventure magazine counts it among its “Ten Great
Adventure Towns.” SJC students give Portland
high ratings, too, as the city serves as a source of internships
and jobs, as well as concerts,
theaters, coffeehouses, clubs, restaurants, sports, shopping, and more.
Portland has it all. Portland
was recently voted America's most livable city by Forbes.
