Saint Louis University Top Questions

I love this school so much! Everyone is so friendly and it is so easy to get involved because it is not too big nor too small. I have never walked across campus without seeing someone I know, and I love that!

I love SLU so much. I would strongly suggest a visit to anyone and everyone because it is such an awesome and beautiful place!

I absolutely love it here! I am originally from Texas and have found that the community here at SLU is unparalleled: it is my 'home-away-from-home.' I have no regrets about my college choice.

I love the campus and it is so pretty but it's in a bad part of town and every once in a while someone gets robbed.

Great! beautiful environment and helpful people~

I love my friends/community. I love my program - public health. Our campus is beautiful. I'm not a fan of the cold weather, but I love Saint Louis.

The best thing about this school is the versatility as a student. You have a lot of freedom to begin clubs and be involved as much as you like. One thing I'd change is the cultural acceptance on this campus, including diversity and inclusion and the practice of it. My school is just the right size. When people know I go here, they are usually shocked because I'm biracial. Most of time on campus is spent in the Busch Student Center. SLU is a little bubble within Saint Louis City, not a college town. The administration has heavy flaws, many of which seem unchanged by student opinion. The biggest controversy on campus has been student organization policies, but to me, the biggest controversy is racism and discrimination. There is slight school pride, not having a football team weakens our pride, I think. Overall, SLU has provided me with so many memories and experiences, none of which I regret.

Whenever I tell people that I go to SLU, there is almost always a positive reaction followed by "What a great school. You must be so smart!" It's true that SLU has a great academic reputation. Nursing, Physical Therapy, and Aerospace Engineering are what SLU is most known for. We have a great business school, too. The thing I like most about SLU is it's BEAUTIFUL and urban campus, as well as the perfect middle-level student body size.

St. Louis is a small school, which makes it a pretty tight-knit school. There is always someone you know in each of your classes, and most teachers will know you by name after the first couple weeks. I love this about SLU, some students won't.

SLU is expensive, but if I had to do it all again I would. I remember taking a tour of SLU's campus while I was a junior in high school. The sun was out, the SLUlips (our beautiful tulips) had bloomed, and the campus was bustling with people. Everywhere we went, students greeted us and encouraged us to come to SLU. Years later, I still feel as I did on that tour. I'm constantly being asked what I like about SLU and what I would like to see changed to make it better. I have grown as a person intellectually and personally here, with the encouragement of my peers and faculty.
