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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Xavier is just the right size. You have a closeness with people which makes you feel like you're part of a family, and you have plenty of opportunity to meet new people, enjoy sporting events, concerts, and just overall have a lot to do! Living on campus is an experience I wouldn't pass up either, it truly gives you the full college experience!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Xavier is very pricey, but you really are getting what you are paying for. When you go out in the real world and apply for jobs you're going to get a job over other people simply for the fact that you have a degree from Xavier. It might sound mean to others, who are going to community colleges or something of the sort, but it's the reality of the situation. It'll definitely benefit you in the future if you pick Xavier, and want a good job.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't listen to people when they say college was easier than high school. Sure, you have a lot of freedom and choices, but the material in the classroom is very hard, and you usually don't have homework. You take tests, and that is your grade. Don't slack off or get behind in classes, it won't be good for you in the future.
