The classes here are challenging and stimulate thinking, but they are interesting as well. My classes right now all keep my interest and intrigue me. They also require me to put in a little effort outside of class, but it's worth it and it doesn't take too long.
The College of St. Scholastica has a lot of different classes and all the classes are taught by teachers who want their students to succeed and who enjoy teaching the subjects that they do (which makes it easier for the student to learn).
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love being here. This school is basically my home away from home. It may seem like a big school when you see pictures of it, but it's really not. The teachers know me and other students by name, and walking down the hall you'll almost always see someone who you know.
The food is really good-even though it is cafeteria food-and the staff and faculty are always friendly and very polite and nice. Also, no matter what time it is and even what holiday isclose there is always something to do-that doesn't involve school if you don't want it to. Duluth and Scholastica are really pretty at any time of the year, and I definitely love being here. I don't think any other college would be able to make me feel at home like Scholastica does.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
If by 'bang for the buck' you mean the money I'm paying is worth what I'm gettng back? The answer to that would be completely. The teachers make the courses interesting and worth your money and time. You're always learning something and enjoing what you're learning. Our rooms are easily worth what we pay for room and board, each room comes with at least one window and a sink, along with two huge closets. They also provide desks for all students in their rooms along with a common room on each floor of the doors that have sofas and desks as well.
The money we paid for for meal plans can be used all over the schol and not just in the cafeterias. We can use our money in one or both of the cafeterias, or at our little coffee shop, or even at the vending machines located all over the school.
The money I paid for my first year at St. Scholastica is definitely worth what I'm getting back in knowledge and food, and etc.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A couple tips for perspective students...I would say that no matter what meal plan you get, you use at least one meal a day in Storm's Den (one of the cafeterias). Another tip is to pick classes that you think you'll enjoy and will also fulfill your general requirements. Also remember that college is supposed to be fun, so try and take a couple fun courses or make a study group for a harder course and make it fun.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The College of St. Scholastica is great for any and all types of students. No matter what your major, or your interests, the college and it's faculty are always willing to go the extra mile for you and help you find your place, or help you get into your program, or help you with whatever you need help with. St. Scholastica welcomes all types of students and enjoys having all sorts of different people in the school.
