"Coming to Saint Vincent, I did not know what to expect of the people here. I am from Germantown, Maryland (about 45-50 minutes away from D.C.), and the culture/people are so different back home compared to SVC. People actually open doors for you, say "Hi," and are just generally decent human beings. I have met some really awesome people, and some who have been not so awesome.  The communication department is so nice. I am so glad I decided to major in Comm. because the staff is really amazing and is willing to work with you on everything. Being here at Saint Vincent has been pretty solid so far, and I cannot wait to see where the rest of my college career takes me."

“Being the daughter of two alumni of Saint Vincent College, I immediately felt at home during my first few weeks as a freshman. The amount of activities and ways to get involved made it very easy to feel a part of the SVC community. Everyone welcomed you with open arms and made you feel like a Bearcat from the start, which made the transition much easier. The abundance of welcomes and smiles throughout the first few days made me feel that I have always been here. I couldn’t imagine calling any other place home for the next few years.”
-Elspeth Mizner, C’20, Communication Major

“With graduation just days away, I can’t believe how fast my time at SVC has gone. My biggest regret is not getting the chance to meet all of the great people here at SVC on a deeper level. I was always busy doing meaningful things, studying and working, and I don’t regret any of that, but I would enjoy the opportunity to truly meet and talk to everyone here. If I could, I would like to sit down with each person one-on-one, share a meal with them and thank them for everything they did, even if in a small way, to help me throughout college. Saint Vincent College is a special community and I’m glad to have had the opportunity to experience great memories here.”
