Dining services
Saint Joseph’s food service, Bon Appétit, is committed to fresh ingredients and high quality. We're confident you will find their offerings healthful, delicious, and unlike typical college fare. Meal service is cafeteria style and includes hot entrees, deli selections, a salad bar that includes prepared cold salads, and a dessert and fruit bar.
Students completing an individual course who choose to stay off campus will have the option of purchasing an affordable meal plan from Bon Appetit on the first day of classes.
Other activities
On the weekend, several scheduled van trips will be made to Freeport (home of L.L. Bean and many other shops and outlets) and Portland (restaurants, shopping, art museum, access to island ferryboats). We are also planning some special events, both on and off campus, during your stay. Look for details in your orientation packet when you arrive.
The Alfond Recreation Center offers a wide variety of sport and exercise options: swimming pool, indoor track, Nautilus weight machines, free weights, cardiovascular machines, and basketball courts. The Center is air-conditioned (except for the basketball courts) and also houses lounges and public areas suitable for studying and socializing.
The College has a small beach on Sebago Lake, walking trails, baseball and softball diamonds, a soccer field, and outdoor volleyball. So prepare to enjoy the Maine summer on your beautiful campus!
