University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

The most frustrating thing for me about my school are the dorms I live in.

Some people do not grow out of the superficial high school mentality.

The most frustrating thing about the University of St. Thomas is the lack of research availability.

That we are building multiple huge new buildings that cost tons of money but are not entirely necessary. I would prefer the money to go to a more useful cause such as undergraduate scholarships. These buildings are also causing St. Thomas to go against their mission statement with regards to how they treat the people that no longer have a job due to the new buildings.

The most frustrating thing at my school is the cost. Our tuition increases year after year and my financial aid package is not on the high end. I believe I should receive more financial aid due to my race/ethnicity, as well as my high school grade point average and the extra-curricular activities I was involved in. I believe St. Thomas has an excellent reputation, but often times I think of transferring to a community college due to my financial circumstances. However, I'm standing on God's word and believing in Him for resources and scholarships!

Although UST was not my first choice in what college I wanted to attend, I have grown to enjoy my time at the school. I think the most frustrating thing is the cost of my tutition, classes at about $4000 for 4 credits. I do not come from a wealthy family so this is something that affects me most.

It is a "suitcase" college: a lot of students go home on the weekends and it is difficult for those who live out of state (such as myself) to make friends and stay involved. There needs to be more activities on campus over the weekends.

The most frusterating thing about this school is registration and the fact that if your classes fill up you have to figure out new ones to take. It is difficult if you did not come in with any credtis because then you are not able to register until later than everyone else.

The most frustrating thing about school is the times that the cafeterias are open. Sometimes they are not open when you are able to go. During your freshman and sophmore years they make you have a meal plan. The times were not convient for me to go and I wasted money on a large amount of meals because of that.

The people are very cliquey and it is hard to get involved.
