I love the small, inclusive environment that Saint Scholastica offers! I have loved all of my classes so far and teachers are fantastic and so helpful to help you succeed. I have already learned so much about my classes, time management and studying (things I didn't learn in high school), being a good friend, and caring about those around you.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Although having brains in the first place is a very important thing, Saint Scholastica is a fantastic school at helping you along even if you aren't a genius. All of the teachers I have had so far are willing to help you in their office hours or scheduled meetings, class sizes are small so you can ask questions if you want. It's a really great learning environment for all types of learners and all levels.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The freshman dorms are definitely that-freshman dorms. They aren't anything fantastic, but they were the biggest of any of the colleges that I toured. I lived in the old apartment buildings for my Sophomore year and they were so-so. The newest apartment buildings for upper classmen, however, are really nice although walls are paper thin. The school provides lots of fun events for students living on campus such as a casino night in which 3 trips to Las Vegas were given away along with many other prizes! The school does a great job of spending money they receive through tuition to better the experience of the students.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Greenview food is good most of the time-however not usually good for you. Storm's den food is normally really good (especially the freshly made wraps and burrito Mondays), but it is really expensive.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Lots of opportunities are provided on campus by Resident Hall Association and other organizations on campus. Like I said earlier, the school does a great job of investing the money they receive from tuition and donations into the experiences for students. We had many big events that involved giveaways as big as Las Vegas trips, ipads, etc. Events were always fun with big blow-up bouncers, trivia night, monthly movie nights with movies that hadn't yet been released on DVD, etc. Lots of things to do on campus!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's an expensive school-it's private, so it's what you'd expect. But I absolutely love my experience at CSS. They have just remodeled the science building and added on a huge expansion, they are very generous with their students with events, prizes, etc. Aside from all that, the education I have received so far has been phenomenal.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Last year all of us as a campus went SKYDIVING-put on by RA's, Student Senate, and Resident Hall Association. The plan is to do it again next year and the year following, etc.!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
All who are willing to respect a few stricter rules set by the nuns. These involve co-ed visitation curfews and quiet hours.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a club for everything-and if there isn't, make your own! I have a friend who this last year has created a skydiving club after a big event we as the RA's put on for the campus, AND a paintball club is in the making!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
None
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It's small and I really have never heard of any crime happening other than some vandalism and a few things stolen (as you would have on any campus to some degree). This is speaking from an RA's perspective.
