Review of Saint Louis University

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Visit the campus. Only then will you really be able to see if you can picture yourself here. If you go on a tour, do it during the school year that way you have a better feeling of what the school is like. The summer tours are still pretty good but it's better to see what the University is with all its students.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Especially good school for students going into pre-med or for students wanting to be nurses. If you want to be in the pre-med program, pay close attention to the deadline. It's in December and easy to overlook if you don't keep an eye out for it.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I have only visited the school, and I have applied for housing. Some of the dorms are really nice since one of the buildings used to be a hotel. The dorms here are bigger than most although it is off campus. Not to far, but still something to consider.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I like that SLU offers FLEX dollars along with meals. You have the option of how many meals you want with varying amounts of flex dollars per week 8 with $480, 10 with $350, or 14 with $130. The flex dollars are basically like dollars except of course they have the face of a Biliken. After your freshman year you can choose a meal plan with $140 flex dollars and no meals. The meals plans can be changed at semester.
