    Space to Grow

    My advice is to get out on campus and get out in Maine. Sebago Lake is a blessing. You are able to take a step back, deep breath and enjoy nature while you learn.

    Michael Mason, ’21 Health Studies major

    Experience Lakes, Mountains, Ocean, & the City in Your Backyard.

    On the shores of Maine’s second largest lake and just 15 miles from Portland, the state’s largest city, Saint Joseph’s offers a lot of ground to cover.

    The Great Outdoors

    Our campus is uniquely situated on 474 acres of forestland and 2,100 feet of shorefront on Sebago Lake. Let our private wooded waterfront location be your next home.

    Access to the City

    Just beyond our active campus lies Portland, Maine’s largest city and a bustling cultural and economic center. Selected by Forbes Magazine as one of the best cities for young adults, Portland is an ideal place for creativity to flourish.

    ServiceTrips AprilQuote

    I have traveled to New Orleans, LA, and Kampala, Uganda, to support people in need. During spring break workfest my junior year I traveled with a small group to NOLA where we volunteered at multiple local organizations to provide an extra hand. It was invigorating, trying new things and meeting new people. It's humbling to interact with people with different backgrounds and even though LA is within the USA, it's eye opening how much a little help can go a long way
