Review of Saint Leo University

from Lakeland, FL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am a Professional Writing major with a minor in Psychology. I have always enjoyed writing, and the English department is phenomenal. I not only have learning how to write professionally, but creatively as well. I became inspired with writing through poetry, and because of the fantastic faculty on campus, I now know how to write short stories, prose, creative non-fiction, and plays. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and I couldn't be happier!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus is beautiful and ever-expanding. With a view of Lake Jovita, a grassy field in the middle of campus, and a courtyard dedicated to the men and women servicing our country, this campus has personality. Walking around I always see people with a smile on their face and I can't help but smile back!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The tuition includes a laptop, which is the most important tool I've ever needed as a college student!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Always find an upperclassman in your major. We pay money to become smart - we are always looking for someone to mentor and share our information! If you need help, don't be afraid to ask someone, especially a professor. The professors here know you by name; it's a very personable atmosphere.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Saint Leo has a focused ROTC program, so any students interested in the military would be a great asset. The business program is ever expanding; we just got a new building on our campus, with marbled floors and modern architecture, donated by an alumni. Students interested in Psychology will find professors always eager to teach their subjects and teach them well; also opportunities to do your own research. The English department is creative, and students interested in this department will learn how to analyze, and correctly write in the MLA format.
