Review of University of St Thomas

from Osceola, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Beautiful private college campus located in a big city that offers opportunities both on and off campus. Small class size so you get a lot of attention from your profs. World class education!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Join a club - there are tons on campus and they are a great way to get to know people and get involved in campus life.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Outstanding profs who are excellent in their fields. Tough classes but small class sizes give you chances to know your profs and get one on one instruction as needed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Nice variety of dorms and apartments. Clean and safe.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is outstanding. We have a brick fire pizza oven in the cafeteria! Great variety of food at every meal. If you don't want to eat at the main cafeteria there are other smaller places on campus to eat that still take your meal plan.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

there are a lot of on campus activities from movies to music. There is also a free shuttle that takes you to downtown Minneapolis. You can find places to eat and things to do down there. We also have some of the top Division 3 sports teams here. Out football team is at or on the top of the MIAC every year. Our basketball and volleyballs teams are ranked nationally often. Sporting events are free with your student id!

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

Because it is a private school the cost is higher than public colleges but the small class size and other amenities make it well worth the cost. UST alumni are actively involved with students on campus providing internships and opportunities for other Tommies.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The seminary students that make up Caruso's Crew and cheer at the football games are awesome. We have a room in the library that is called the Harry Potter room. The annual Christmas Concert is held at Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolils. A professional venue that is fun to sing in or attend a concert in.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who want a private college near and urban setting.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are too many to list! Everything from Academic Quiz Bowl to fencing to radio to ultimate frisbee. UST has it all!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is not much Greek life at UST

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Very safe campus. Great security on and around campus.
