Everyone here including students, teachers, and staff are so nice and helpful. Saint Xavier University also provides its students with a pleasant and learning atmosphere. Finally, it's a small school with small classes, and a lot more attention is given to each student.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If planning on going to professional school after your undergraduate, try to take some teachers more than once so they'll get to know you. More often than not, you'll want a letter of recommendation from them. It won't work well if they don't know you. In addition, Saint Xavier University not only has a library to study, but a silent room, and an additional floor in the library that has group study rooms with flat screen TVs in them to plug your laptop into.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are really hard, but it's a University and the teachers are there to challenge you to the best of your ability. I've learned so much about myself and I'm never afraid to ask my teachers for help or go to their office before/after class to ask a question.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I don't live on campus, but I've been inside the dorms quite a few times to see my friends. Honestly, the freshman dorms are not that good because they're freshman. They're not dirty though! It's just, the upperclassmen dorms are so nice! They look like expensive condos. Also, the dormitories have a lot of fun activities. The games usually involve a prize and you get to meet other people. I know this because they're posters around school, events on Facebook, and I've seen one before while driving past the dormitory.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
In my opinion, the food is good. Unfortunately, not everybody thinks that and it depends on what YOU like. Pasta is served a lot and the food is expensive but you don't have to buy food every single day. There are also various snacks served including ice cream.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Unfortunately, on the weekends it's dead in the dormitories and on the campus. On the other hand, people also throw PARTIES every weekend in the nearby SXU apartments. There's also a grande saloon owned by the University called Gilhooley's where you can throw parties, food is served, events take place there, and there's a bar!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Almost anything but the most common majors are nursing and biology. One of the only types of career associated students this school is not great for is acting and maybe singing.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's a lot of clubs. Some of them are created by the students because we have the privilege of starting our own clubs. It's so easy to start one too. Furthermore, there are so many fun activities that take place here. What I love most about them is the chance to get a free t-shirt.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are campus safety cars that I see drive around the campus all the time when I'm walking to and from my classes that are held in separate buildings. Also, before anyone can enter the dorms, your friend that lives there has to insert their card into the card slot to unlock the door. When you enter, there's also a person that sits behind the desk that checks the visitor(s) in/out.
