This year, Saint Anselm College welcomes the Class of 2020. There are 520 students in the freshman class, of which 39% is male and 61% is female.

These students are geographically diverse; they have traveled here from 21 states and two foreign countries. The average GPA of the class is 3.26. 113 students have been accepted into the Honors Society.

The top five majors among the new students are: nursing, business, politics, biology, and criminal justice.

Lara Birk, the Dean of Freshman, told a Crier reporter that this is one of the most energetic classes Saint A’s has ever seen. She also reveals that this class has bonded quickly, saying, “I am told that they are the first freshman class (ever) to join the OL’s in dancing the Wobble”.

This year, the college has planned an overnight retreat for the freshmen class, known as Anselm 360, to introduce them to Saint Anselm College’s spiritual, social and academic culture.
