Review of Saint Vincent College

from Greensburg, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Saint Vincent is a rather quiet, rural college. The professors are generally pretty good and with the small class sizes it is easy to meet with professors on a regular basis. Overall, Saint Vincent is a good college and a good place to receive an education.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Saint Vincent College is predominately a business, natural science, and theology college. Most other programs tend to be less funded and smaller in size. The new science center that is nearing completion with renovations is now an up-to-date lab and classroom environment which should tailor well to students interested in pursuing biology, chemistry, and biology.

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

Depending on the program, academics can be rather easy or they can be difficult and time consuming. Communications majors tend to have the least number of requirements, and the natural sciences tend to have the most requirements and the hardest class schedules. The college offers several honors programs, as well as secondary certifications in substance abuse (for psychology) and education, both of which have rather rigorous schedules.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Depending on where you live, you can have a very party-like atmosphere or a very quite atmosphere. The freshmen dorm and senior dorm are by far the nicest dorm options on campus, but the other buildings offer something that suites everyone.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is not particular bad, but it is not particularly good, either. The cafeteria is rather hit or miss on whether or not you will have a godd dining experience on any given day, and the shack offers quick, but rather unhealthy and expensive food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The Activities Programming Board is generally pretty good about having some sort of student event each week, but not every event is appealing to each person. There is usually a good assortment of activities, though, ranging from comedians to bingo, to movies, to karaoke, etc.
