Saint Louis University Top Questions

Describe the students at Saint Louis University.

Candace

my classmates are very nice.

Jennifer

The school is very conservative. The most popular association on campus would probably be Students for Life who are constantly reminding us that we should not have abortions. One thing the association lacks is help for finding an alternative to abortions. It is encouraged everywhere that we go to church on Sundays, as we are a Jesuit university. Our LGBT association is not allowed to talk about BEING lesbian, gay, or bisexual- but they're allowed to talk about having thoughts. They're not allowed to discuss actions either. I guess Father Biondi feels that as long as they don't admit to being such, that they will sooner or later not be it. SLU students have an unwritten code uniform: Northface jackets and ugg boots. If you do not have either one of these items, you will stand out. It's obvious that many of the students are rich, or have rich parents.

Kate

My classmates are welcoming and engaging. They don't always seem to be that different or individual, but once you crack their surfaces they are.

Sara

Sometimes you love them, sometimes you realize they are rich idiots.

Lyle

My classmates are from different backgrounds and different areas of the world and are a great mixture of interested and not interested in the school work we are asked to do.

Logan

They are hard workers but know how to have fun.

Ted

My classmates are nice and hardworking.

Erika

My classmates are defintely compromised of all different races, ages and backgrounds. Most of them are definitely middle to upper class whose parents pay for schooling, whereas mine do not. They're wonderful people and everyone has something different to bring to the table.

Jennifer

Students are driven and diverse.

Sarah

Nobody is really competitive, even though there's a lot of studying going on. Study groups are more like, groups of people studying, not groups of people trying to pass the other for grades. Some people are religious, some people aren't - I'm one of the not types, but it's been pretty cool. This one girl used to always invite me to Sunday Night Mass, and I'd decline, and then we'd talk about world religions some - good times. Most everyone mingles - rich, poor, international, local, that sort of thing. Only black students tend to stick with black students, but the Black Student Alliance is a really popular group, so that's why.
