Saint Edwards provides a diverse cultural atmosphere that allows for a more unique growth throughout the college experience. The university is smaller than most providing students with a more intimate relationships with fellow students and staff. The professors at St. Edwards are invaluable, and go out of their way to help their students understand the material being discussed.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The work load of any major can become overwhelming compared to state schools, but the unique opportunities and services St. Edwards offer in conjunction help alleviate the stress.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is hard to explain. Specific dorms offer specific experiences. The hall I stayed in freshman year provided me with many friendships and precious memories that I will always cherish.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food on campus is very expensive if you do not have any meal plan, but the food is a lot more healthy and appetizing than most of the other state schools I have visited. The only negative I would present is the inability of some of the kitchen staff to cook any meat all the way. There have been many times where I have received an uncooked piece of chicken or beef, but I believe this might be due to the cooks feeling rushed. Overall the food is delicious.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
St. Edwards is in Austin, Texas so there is plenty to do off campus. Most students enjoy the nightlife Austin has to offer Thursday through Sunday. There are also many opportunities for outdoor adventures as well as casual dining and shopping along South Congress and the drag, and St. Edwards is right in the middle of it all.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
It makes me cringe to see anyone walk across our seal (located in the center of campus) because it is a tradition to walk around it. The reason most people fear touching the seal is because of the curse it holds. Any student that walks across the seal has never been able to finish the academic year nor graduate.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is absent from St. Edwards, and most students will agree that they want to keep it that way. We pride ourselves on not being involved in Greek life, and in my experiences I believe as a community we are stronger for it.
