Review of St Catherine University

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The great thing about St. Kate's is the variety of learning styles they incorporate. The location of the school makes for great experiences learning in the community.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

St. Kate's has a great campus life. The dorm life is a great balance of social and academic life. The food service always has a good variety. There are student activities throughout the week and on weekends that are entertaining. Most of their activities include free food and prizes given for just showing up! Everyone is very open-minded to others' personalities and beliefs and I've never felt put down because of my viewpoints on any issue. Everyone is open about opinions.

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

Though the tuition seems outrageous, financial aid is easily attainable. No matter what your financial situation is, try for it, you may be surprised how generous the college is. The professors are very knowledgeable and approachable. Also, resources for tutoring, counseling, financial counseling and other issues are worth the price of the school, especially for that first year of adjustment. The food is delicious, but quite overpriced.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't let the all-women aspect of the college intimidate you. When I first visited I didn't think this school was an option, but once I went to the visit program I found myself fitting in here and I never dreamed of participating in single-gender education. I now find myself advocating for it because the benefits of being open and honest in my class discussions are no longer hindered by wondering what guys will think about me.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Those seeking a safe, highly acclaimed rigorous academic program, a good social life, and those seeking to expand their viewpoints and horizons.
