A new four-story Academic Hall with sweeping views of Sebago Lake opened in fall 2004.  The growth in student population has led to construction of two new residence halls each housing 120 students in suite-style accommodations, as well as expansion and renovation of the dining hall and a major academic building.  The Harold Alfond Student Center opened in 1999 and houses a swimming pool, a gymnasium, an elevated jogging track, a rock-climbing wall, fitness rooms, and a dance/aerobics studio. 

Full-time undergraduate enrollment is 1,000 students.  The geographic distribution shows fifteen states and several foreign countries represented, with a majority of students coming from the Northeast.  More than 80 percent of full-time students live on campus.  The residence halls include a choice of single-sex, coed, and substance-free housing options.  Off-campus housing is available in the local area.  Bon Appetit, the campus food service, takes pride in its delicious and varied cuisine. 

Saint Joseph's College of Maine looks to its students to take an active role in campus leadership.  Opportunities to become involved in student government, athletics, and cultural and social organizations are numerous.  The College has a close-knit family atmosphere that permeates campus life.  Social life revolves around clubs and organizations and the many events held in the Chalet or Alfond Center. 

The College sponsors eleven NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletic teams.  Recreational choices include a strong intramural and club sports program, a private sandy beach on Sebago Lake, a skating pond, cross-country running and ski trails, and the Alfond Center facilities. 

The 331-acre campus hugs the shore of Sebago Lake in southern Maine, just 18 miles from Portland, and 125 miles from Boston.  The Sebago Lake region, one of Maine's most beautiful spots, is a premier four-season recreational area.  Greater Portland is well-known for its fine restaurants and shops along with its variety of music and concert venues, theater, art museum, symphony, public market, and professional sports teams.  The city is served by major airlines and bus companies as well as Amtrak passenger rail service.
