University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

The part about the University of St. Thomas that I appreciate the least is the cost. My family and I are struggling as it is in this economy and adding the stress of a large tuition makes it even more difficult. There are many benefits that come with the sacrifice of the bill but overall I would have to admit that it makes the experience less enjoyable.

The University of St. Thomas is a great school, but the worst thing about the school is the high tuition costs. As college student we are struggling with stress about finance and the high tuition costs are the leading cause to this stress. Many students have to find a job while they are in school, because they can't afford the high cost associated with college. Since students are working while in school it causes stress on their academics. Overall, if St. Thomas lower their cost of tuition it would be beneficial in reducing financial stress in their students.

The worst thing about the school is the lack of diversity. It definitely has its own stereotype. The typical student is white and from the private schools around the St. Paul area. I am an out-of-state student so this was an obstacle for me, but once I overcame it I was very satisfied with every aspect of the school.

I would say the extreme tuition.

The amount of drinking that occurs. I was really surprised and disappointed to find out how much drinking occurs. There is a lot of underage drinking too. Public Saftey catches some of it, but it is very prevelant. I feel excluded sometimes because I do not drink. Most kids talk about parties and how wasted they were. The drinking is not just on the weekends. Parties start Thursday night, sometimes even Wednesdays. It's one things that really disappoints me about St. Thomas and my peers.

I don't like the food very much, but it's not terrible. The cost to attend St. Thomas is quite high, so you need lots of financial aid.

It gets really cold in minnesota and snows a lot so its not something about the school but just about the region in general.

In my opinion the worst thing about my school is the lack of art courses. It has a great music program, however, no hands on art classes are available (for example pottery, painting, drawing, etc.). It's nice to have a hands on class such as one of these to mix up a difficult schedule.

The food is pretty bad sometimes. Hopefully the new student center fixes that. Also they dorm that I am in is very small and an inconvenience to living basically. Try not to be in Ireland hall. Or Cretin for that matter

The food at St. Thomas is absolutely pitiful. We have to go to another campus in Minneapolis just to get decent, healthy food. This is being changed though, so the next worst thing would have to be some of the teachers. My professors do not care what happens and grade upon favorites and not how we actually do in class. I do not believe that my grades reflect how to do, just how much I suck up to my professor.
