Review of University of St Thomas

from Houston, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

At the University of St. Thomas one has the opportunity to not only excel in one's role as a student, but also explore one's other roles, so be it daughter, friend, sister, or brother. One learns to discover personal strengths and values. An education fostered by UST guarantees a productive and happy future.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Learn to ask for help, because everybody at UST is willing to give it!

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

A Liberal Arts education in general requieres a lot of determination, so it is understandable that the academic rigor at UST requires diligence and passion to EARN a degree.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms in Guinan Hall are well equipped, spacious, and it doesn't hurt that every dorm has a personal bathroom! The dorms are also very safe - no one comes in unidentified by the front desk!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is tasty, and it is provided without the anxiety of gaining the dreaded Freshman 15. There is also a Quiznos on campus that offers a lot of choices!

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

UST is located within minutes of...almost everywhere! The Village is great for shopping and dining out, and the museums are great to visit on the weekends. UST usually always has something exciting going on like: Salsa Contest (the kind you eat and the kind you dance too!), Italian Festival, Movie Drive-In Nights, and cheering on the basketball team is also always fun!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Crooker is a very popular place for students to hangout, BUT if you go to the second floor it is also great for studying or simply getting away to catch up on TV!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

UST has a club associations for anything you can think of!

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

Campus ia really safe. People are constantly on patrol. You can call security at ANY time to drop you off where you need to go on campus.
