Review of Saint Louis University

from Joliet, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Not only are classes extremely interesting and the professors have been helpful, but the students are all very welcoming and friendly. It is so easy to make friends, both freshman and upperclassmen. The location of the campus is also perfect. The view from my room is the arch in St. Louis. It's a beautiful sight. The University puts a lot of effort into keeping the campus clean and beautiful with the landscaping so it is very visually appealing. We are also close enough to so many different shopping centers and activities that it is hard to get bored.

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

Yes, St. Louis University is very expensive, but it is worth the money. Not only is the University very generous with scholarships, but the classes are worth your while and once you graduate from SLU, you will turn heads because it is a very prestigious University.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are thinking about coming to SLU just realize that this school is not all party. It takes a lot of work and dedication and you will get out of it what you put into it. It will be very worth your while to go here!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students who are very serious about getting a good education, putting time into their majors, and meeting very sweet people.
