The professors at St. Thomas do everything they can to help the students achieve their goals. They constantly remind us that they want us to come to them for help whenever we need it. Besides that, the professors here know their stuff! They make class entertaining and enjoyable. There are over 50 majors to choose from. Once you declare a major you are assigned to a personal adviser associated with the major. These advisers help you in every way possible. They help you choose your classes, select extracurricular activities, and decide what you want to do with your life.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
For one thing, St. Thomas does an excellent job of matching you with a roommate. My roommate and I are pretty much best friends. Getting along with your roommate is a huge part of the college experience because you do have to share a room with him/her for a year. At St.Thomas there is plenty of stuff to do. There is a new rec center that has an amazing weight room, basketball court, tennis court, and indoor track. There are also many activities put on by the various clubs and organizations at the school. There is anything from movie nights and picnics to create-your-own t-shirt opportunities and giveaways.
