Mount St. Mary’s (often “The Mount”) is a small, private Catholic university in Emmitsburg, Maryland, known for strong programs in business, liberal arts, and the sciences plus a tight‑knit residential campus in the mountains and NCAA Division I athletics. Students often rave about the close community, the scenic hilltop setting, the faith‑based campus culture, and the many clubs and activities that keep campus life active despite the more remote location.
Common Majors
business administration, psychology, criminal justice, nursing
“I love The Mount’s small, mountain‑campus feel, how easy it is to know everyone and get involved in campus activities, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the isolation from big‑city amenities, the quieter social scene, and the way the campus can feel a bit insular and slow‑paced were all more noticeable once I stopped just visiting and started living there.”
