Saint Louis University Top Questions

I think the worst thing about my school is that the university stresses how the motto is "Men and Women for others," but when it comes to financial assistance for students who need and deserve the help, the university would rather put money into renovating bulidings instead of creating need-based scholarship funds for students.

A difficult emotion is thoes associated with homesickness. Espically missing the comforts of a homecooked meal, which throughout life prior to college was just another meal but, cafeteria food can only be appitizing for about a week before the variety in one's diet becomes quiet boring and repedative. Appreciate the food and the comforts of your state's culutre, your identity. Although you meet so many people and live in a community where you are all transiting at the same time, dont be afraid of the despaired about not being able to see your family and friends.

The worst thing that I feel at the school are the counselors for academics and for scholarships and student finances. They are helpful to an extent, but when things went bad with my academic performance and scholarship not being awarded to me anymore, the school let me down. I felt as though I was abandoned and left on my own to fend for myself and to find out what to do.

The worst thing was how hard it was to explore the city of Saint Louis with out a car. The public transit did not run late and could be dangerous at times. It was hard to "live" in the city without having a car. It caused a big campus "bubble."

I would say the worst thing about my school is the amount of money that they spend on unnessecary things. For example, they are required to change the flowers out like every 3 weeks, when the flowers are still perfectly fine. So I just wonder where my money is really going and why I am paying so much?

Actually the worst thing about my school is what I feel when I am there, that I feel too old and out of place. I feel like when I walk around to classes, go to activities, try to be a part, or go purchase books etc at bookstore, that I am looked at why is this old guy here.

The biggest problem at this school is the location of housing. Most of the on-campus housing units are on one side of the campus while the buildings that classes are taken in are on the other.

I feel alone sometimes, even though there are many activities out there but people only stick with their own group so it is hard to make new friends. And even though I was top 5 in class in high school, my grades dropped greatly, and when I tries to get any sort of help, it is very hard because most tutor are working for ESL program instead of undergraduate program.

The worst thing about my school is the price. The price of tuition is alot higher than what I imagined college to be. However, because my school is a private school with a great reputaion I understand why the tuition is so much.

What I consider the worst thing about Saint Louis University is the parking. Due to being a school in the city, we have a lot of buildings on campus which make parking to be on the outs of all the buildings. It makes walking to class a few extra minutes, depending on where you park. Or we can park on the streets and drop money in the parking meters or pay minimum $200 to park in a campus parking garage.
