i love my school. however i do work very hard and my grades don't always reflect it. there are some problems with my school but i'd rather be here than anywhere else.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
make you take a tour, and attend the accepted students open house if you are accepted. also it's okay to come in undecided, about 51% of students do.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
as i said above, it is a difficult school. i am a politics major so most of my homework is reading. i can spend hours reading everyday. i don't have to write to many papers during the year but writing a 5 page paper isn't difficult for me anymore because of all my experience writing longer ones. it may seem tough base on what i am saying but most of the professors are really helpful and they want to help you succeed. if you do what's assigned then you will succeed.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
the dorms at saint a's are okay freshman and sophomore year. typical doubles mostly with other offerings available as well. junior and senior year there apartments that are really nice. because they are so nice hardly anyone lives off campus anymore. 91% of students live on campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the food is outstanding. we were voted 11th best in the country by one website for our food. everyday there are delicious options at both davison and the coffee shop. the carving station and triple berry smoothies are my favorites.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
i go to a lot of sporting events. we have a really good hockey team. i also watch movies with friends and go to a lot of events put on by our campus activities board (cab) like comedians, magicians, or holiday events. i also go rock climbing, skiing, hiking, paintballing, and other things like that really cheap. i recently went to a bruins game and my ticket was discounted $56 because i went with cab. l i live really close to my school but i never go home because there is always something going on on campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
in my opinion it's worth every penny (and you pay a lot of pennies). you have a wonderful experience in your four years and have some great opportunities after you graduate.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
we have a christmas feast ever year that almost the whole school tries to go to. it's free for students and dining services goes all out that night. they have things like prime rib, seafood newburg, stuffed chicken, squash ravioli, salads, veggies, breads, desserts, and egg nog. some students line up for hours so they can get in early.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
students who want to be known. saint a's is a small school and you can stand out here. news travels fast around saint a's and it is hard to hide here. i love meeting new people and i am very outgoing so i love it. also you need to work at this school. it's difficult, however the work is always manageable.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
we have over 80 different clubs and student organizations at saint a's. i'm in quite a few clubs. and if a club that you want doesn't already exist, it is very easy to start it up. the only problem is the funding for clubs which some clubs don't always get as much as they would like but they always make do.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
it doesn't exist at saint a's which i personally like. we have some service organizations but they are different from frats. frats create problems with hazing, vandalism, and out of control parties. they are unnecessary.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
it is a very safe school. if i am studying late and i need to walk back to my room alone at night, i feel very comfortable doing so. security makes their rounds 24 hours a day and there are hardly ever incidents on campus.
