Xavier University

I am majoring in Natural Sciences at Xavier University. They provide a mass load of science help and much more, such as, Supplemental Instructions and tutoring. Supplemental Instructions are sessions in which upperclassman teach and review material from the lecture. They provide these sessions for Biology and Chemistry, three times a week. It has been calculated; those who attend the sessions on regular basis earn higher grades on tests. They also have free tutoring for just about any subject and all the professors have office hours in which you may attend for more individual help. If you want to learn, want the help, and want to succeed in life, Xavier University may be the perfect route to start.

I would give this section a relatively high rating. In high school I felt as if I did not need to work that hard for my grades but at the same time, I was not retaining any of the information. At Xavier, the classes are more difficult, but it is worth it because during the semester I was able to recall information from early on in the semester and apply it to what we were learning towards the end. It is a really awesome feeling when you actually know what you are talking about.
Another aspect of learning that I would also give a high rating relates to the social aspects of college. I have become involved with several clubs and organizations at Xavier relating to peace and justice issues, campus ministry, interfaith community, etc. There are always programs being put on by these organizations as well as many others every day. It is so great to be able to go any where on campus and see and learn something. There is always something going on and there is always something new.

Last year, my rating would not have been this high. Now, as a sophomore, I am seeing more and more connections between classes which is incredible. Who knew biology and theology had similar concepts?

The teachers really give time to the students to listen to the questions and do what they can to help you understand. All of the profeesors have office hours that are set and by appoitment.

If you are Looking for a School that will challenge you academically, look no further, Xavier University is a perfect match! The course riggers from English 101 to Molecular Biology will prepare you for anything that you can fathom. I am learning more than my brain can handle and the quality of higher education can get no better.

Professors are very dedicated, and will stay to help with any questions. Classes are very small, and I hear the work is challenging and keeps you interested.

I have never enjoyed learning as much as I am at Xavier. I have learned so much in my first year and want to keep on learning! I actually enjoy going to class now.

Classes are small, and professors have more time to focus on things that you might have trouble with understanding, or would like to go over again. They also all have office hours where they are more than willing to help you learn a concept. Also, they offer great programs such as TRIO, tudors, writing/math centers, and so much more.

At my high school, most of my classes were easy A's. At Xavier, you have to work and study hard. I am definitely learning a lot because of the professors. They are informative, explain everything well, and love what they are doing. They try their best to be open to students in case anyone needs help.

At Xavier you will learn a lot about yourself and about your major. You have to constantly study as usual. Xavier have different programs around campus that would help you such as writing centers, math centers, chemistry centers, and etc.
