University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

I consider the worst thing about my school to be the cost, but they make it worth cost once you begin and start getting involved.

There are many students that party. They don't tend to party on campus--they go off, but you still get the vibe that there are people who are only concerned with getting drunk.

The worst thing about St. Thomas is the very steep price to attend.

Parking at times can be very difficult, especially for visitors. Being in an urban setting, it is understandable, but the school does the best that it can with the resources given. They continually seek to improve the parking situation on and around campus.

Being a transfer student from a different state, California, I found that the culture of St. Thomas very different. Having completed my first semester, I would have to say that the worst thing about St. Thomas is absolutely nothing. I love the campus and I admire the professors who are all so eager to help and actually teach the course material. Everyone is so open making the tansistion as a transfer student easy.

The worst part of St. Thomas is that the university is know as a suitcase school, meaning many people go home on the weekends. This happens since a large portion of the students live near the Twin Cities. Sometimes on weekends students can feel lonely, yet student-run-programs do a good job of trying to help this problem by running fun activies for stdents on the weekends.

That things look very appealing but , I have found, that the support to back up these looks is sometimes disappointing.

I think the people that are privileged and ungrateful for what they have are the worst thing at school. St. Thomas has many wealthy students that are sometimes unaware of their surrounding community. They are largely unaware of the problems in the world and lack the motivation to learn about those problems. Many will undoubtedly be "sucessful" but will go through life living mostly for themselves.

Though I do not have a lot to complain about, I believe that it is difficult as a student to find the help i need. More specifically, I am considering pursuing business marketing as my major, but my advisor had no input or any helpful information about the classes I should start taking or even the people I should seek out.

The worst thing about my school would be some of the students that attend. St. Thomas is known for being somewhat of a "rich" school, and that stigma gets carried over to those of us who are not attending college on our parents' dime. I work hard to be able to afford this education, and it's definitely frustrating to see so many students that don't put the effort in, mostly because they know Mom and Dad will pick up the tab if they don't pass a class. It lowers the competitive edge in most classes.
