Review of University of St Thomas

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

All the professors make the classes interesting. They are funny and very helpful. The professors also encourage students to ask questions and go to them for help. Students should make sure to apply themselves. If students make an effort they will find everything interesting. I learned so many things that I did not know before just from spending a semester at St. Thomas. It is all challenging, but extremely worth it.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

By getting involved in activities it's impossible not to meet good people. College is the place to make life long friends. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Students shouldn't be shy. They should take a chance and have fun. There is always something to do on campus. It is easy to create a balance of fun and work throughout the college experience. Students should find a club or activity that has a purpose they are passionate about. Students will find people there who share their same ideals.

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

It is an expensive school, but what college isn't? It is challenging, interesting, and fun. Students learn so much from professors, make new friends, and have wonderful opportunities.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Students should make sure to get involved in extracurriculars right away. It helps with the adjustment to college life. Everyone is going through the same thing. The more activities students do, the more connected they will feel. It eventually will feel like a second home. Students should just put themselves out there. They'd be surprised how easy it is to make friends. In classes, students should ask questions, get help from professors, and speak with other students about their work. The more students do, the more they will get out of it. Students should make sure to stay healthy though and get rest amongst their activities and work. None of it will be worth it if students can't function properly.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

UST is wonderful for anyone who is looking for a medium sized school. The classes are fairly small, but the school is still big enough so that students won't know everyone. The campus is not too big and it is beautiful. If students desire to meet friends who will support them, UST is a great place. People really act like a community to each other. There is always support and students will always see familiar faces around them.
