Saint Louis University Top Questions

Generally people in this school don't have a good self-esteem about the school. The people who are into it are really into it, but there are a few haters who seem to have outweighed my experiences with content and proud classmates. I think students in St. Louis as a whole don't have the best perspective on how to best experience all their oyster has to offer.

It is prohibitively expensive and the financial aid department offers no help whatsoever. I am about to have to quit school after two years due to the fact that I cannot get any more loans to pay for tuition. I am completely screwed now. I will have to work overtime just to pay back loans for one half of a degree.

I believe that one of the most frustrating things about my school is the registration process. We have to go meet with an academic adivsor and a mentor, and most of the time they are not on the same page so you don't know what classes to take. Not only that, but the actually registration is frustrating because the system will usually freeze up.

I guess that my dorm is the farthest out from the area I have most of my classes. I do get lots of exercise !

The art program is extremely small and is often overshadowed by bigger programs, like engineering or pre-medicine. I never felt that anyone had the same devotion to studying art like I did.

It is hard to get in touch with financial services and school administration regarding housing and class schedules.

There is somewhat of a disconnect between the students and the administration. The administration is attempting to close this gap but it is still prevelant. This creates difficulty in the students' voices being heard and changes being made that the students would like to see.

Since this is an online program, it is sometimes difficult to work with the faculty over email. Responses are delayed and you don't get the face-to-face interaction.

Parking can be a downside at this school. The student parking lots are far, and inconvnient during the winter time, when the trek is long. Also, when you're walking on the sidewalks leading to school, the sprinklers will turn on, and they'll actually come at you, getting you wet. About the classes, Biology can be frustrating. Already I feel overwhelmed with just this one class. It would be nice if the teachers taught at a slower pace, or realised that we have more than one class to juggle, but this is probably just the college life.

I am a commuter and probably one of the most frustrating things is that most of the events on campus are in the evening. It puts me in a tough situation on attending these events becasue I am finished with classes by noon.
