Saint Louis University

After one semester in my classes at Saint Louis University, I can practically run circles around my old high school friends academically. The classes here are very challenging but great for anyone who truly desires a quality education. It takes dedication and a desire to succeed here at Saint Louis University. When I graduated from high school, I was searching for a challenge because I never really was. Saint Louis University met that challenge head on and I learned more in this first semester than I ever did in high school and lots more than all of my old friends from high school! I was completely thrown off when I attended classes for the first week because they were fast-paced, information filled, and a little overwhelming. I soon learned how to become more organized, manage my time better, and truly learn. These things were not optional, but had to be done so that I could succeed there. For all high school students seeking a great Undergraduate college for Pre-Medicine, Pre-Law, Aerospace engineering, Physical Therapy, or Nursing, this college is top-notch and one of the best in the country for academics. The amount you will learn in one semester here at Saint Louis University will completely blow your mind, and you'll learn more than you could have ever imagined possible.

The programs here at Saint Louis University are world-class. The degree that you will have with the University's symbol will definitely be positive in getting a job in your chosen field in this competitive economy. A set of core requirements break each student from his or her intended major by requiring theology, philosophy and ethics classes to develop holistic people instead of just specialists with little diversity. The lower level classes can be difficult because the professors don't always have an idea of standard levels for classes. This means that a 100 or 200 level professor may expect higher level work and 300 and 400 level professors may require far less than similar levels of classes. At times this can be difficult, but once you get into the upper levels of your intended major, the teachers really get to know each student and work with all classes individually to make sure that they don't simply focus on quantity, but rather acknowledge the factor of quality in education.

I was nervous going into classes at SLU because in high school classes were too easy. After being challenged and being put to the test of studying and putting effort into classes, I realized that I was actually learning information, especially in Allied Health biology, chemistry, and in Spanish. Initially I thought I would learn the information well enough to take the tests and then it would just leave my mind. However, I have been able to share with my family interesting aspects of the classes and hold decent conversations with them. SLU's classes are definitely worth your while, and although they may be challenging, they truly test your smarts and dedication.

Very expensive but worth it! The financial aid that you will receive will surprise you! You'll be happy!

Saint Louis University is a great school with a beautiful green campus. This school offers a variety of classes and community service opportunities to get involved in. It also has small class sizes and a great school philosophy of caring and compassion.

SLU is accepting and inviting to those who show interest. It has a great atmoshere and I am so excited to be able to experience the student life here.

The professors here at SLU want you to succeed. They are willing to give you the extra time if you are not understanding the criteria.

The academics at SLU are beyond excellent. I was always a person who didn't have to try in school, and that changed tremendously here. Although it's a lot of work, I am learning more than I ever thought I would. My mind has been blown by this school.

Saint Louis University had the best businesses professors, at least for that is what many business students would think. Other students in different majors, probably wouldn't be too interest in business classes. However, they wouldn't deny that the professors are very knowledgeable and make sure the students learned the most out of their classes. Also, they make the tests hard and the questions involving make applications. That made you think a lot and if you passed, it had proven that you master the materials. Even, that some classes that I took are not business courses; but in the end that professors made it interesting and helped me learned quite a lot out of that class. Take theology as an example: I came to SLU with a Buddhist religion and honestly had no interest in learning about Christian religion and all of the other information about it. However, the professor changed my mind. He made the class interesting and fun. Therefore, I was engaged into the class lecture a lot more than I thought I would. In the end, I ended up learning many interesting things about theology and more knowledgeable about the Christian religion than I was before.

The campus is truly beautiful as well as the chapel. Some people worry about the fact that the University is in Saint Louis, but SLU has impressive security. A great place to stay close to your faith and grow.
