University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

A person who should not attend St. Thomas is one that wants to have a large classroom size and wants to be a part of large community and have a Big 10 sports team. In high school, sometimes students can slack off and still earn a passing grade; that is not the case at St. Thomas. Also, for those who are undecided on their major might find it difficult to discover what classes to take to try and find a major since tuition is pretty high.

I am the type of person who should not be attending this school. I am biracial (black/white), a lesbian, 32 years old, a mom of 2, broke, and non religious. I am the opposite of almost every person at this school. But yet, I love it. All the professors have Phds and truly care about thier students, no classes are taught by TAs, class size is small, the campus is beautiful, the alum give tons of money for financial aid and offer jobs to new grads. I think it is the perfect, imperfect school. I am a proud Tommie!

No one should attend this school that is not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} dedicated to their studies or community. This school is not your typical college of "party all the time" school. If getting a good education , making life long friends and exploring areas you never imagined is not your interest, you need not apply. If your thought of partying and just getting by is in your plan, look somewhere else.

Liberal, artistic individuals would feel out of place. There are students that fit that category here, but definitely not many.

It is diffilcult to say what "kind" of person should not attend this school. I do not believe that a people should be put into specific groups or categorizes. However, I do think that there are certain personatlity characteristics that would not work well at a University. People who are lazy, and do not want to work hard should not attend UST. Students that are uncaring, unmotivated and are closed minded should not attend UST. However, I would like to say that UST is an open family and are not exclusive towards anyone.

The type of person that should not attend this school would be somebody who is not in college for educational purposes and is simply here for just the "college experience" minus the books. This school is not for somebody who is irresponsible and will miss most class sessions where attendance is taken especially since there are very few professors who do not take attendance because the class sizes are so small.

A person that wants Theological meaning behind their school. Also a person who likes city life; St. Paul is no small town!

If you arent into meeting new people or open minded to diverse theoligies or opinions then Liberty isn't for you.

Anyone who strongly opposes the Catholic religion. Nearly 50 {4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of all students enrolled at St. Thomas were born and raised with Catholic in their blood. Although I do not mind the additional knowledge and am open to any religion, I have heard several complaints aimed at the extensive course requirement dedicated to religion which can be biased. If your afraid of learning a new religion than this is not the place for you.

A person who does not take his or her education seriously should not attend the University of St. Thomas. St. Thomas is a very competitive community of students, all of whom take their education as first priority. A student who is unmotivated towards his or her education would be wasting his or her time and money at this university.
