Review of St Catherine University

from South St Paul, MN

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The things I learn in class, I can connect to my outside life. I took a history class last year and to help me study for the final, I watched Pearl Harbor at home and made connections! It was a fun way to help me study! Believe it or not, I also make chemistry connections to things in my everyday life!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

St. Kates is a very student involved campus. There are many fun events planned during the year including movies and musical performances. The end of the year culminates with a celebration called Dew Drop Bop which includes games, music, food and a ton of fun! There is also a wide variety of student groups to participate in.

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

People are often scared away by the price of St Kates, as it is a private school, but I really feel like it will help me in the long run. The professors are very open to helping you inside and outside of class and making sure you understand the materials. Campus security does a fabulous job of making you feel safe by patroling and financial aid does a great job of helping you find a way to pay for school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

DON'T let the private school tuition price and the all-girls mantra scare you away. Private schools often have more financial aid to give and the financial aid office is good with helping you as well. I find, that going to an all-girls school helps me to be more confident and speak up in class. Plus, you can always take a class at one of the ACTC schools: St. Thomas, Augsburg, Hamline, Macalester or the Minneaplis Campus! BE involved! There is so much to do on campus, you're bound to find something you like. Participate in things and make new friends and you will have a good time!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

People willing to learn, people wanting a diverse campus, people of all personalities, people wanting a FABULOUS college experience!
