Saint Joseph’s University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Saint Joseph’s University? Why?

The price of the school is way too much. The payoff is not seen in the buildings compared to other expensive schools such as Villanova (the technology there is better). Area is a bit unsafe, but could be worse.

In my first year at my university, the only complaint was the street that students need to cross to reach the other side of campus, due to the large amount of traffic that seemed to be at a constant high speed; I felt somewhat unsafe crossing the streets either early in the morning or late at night due to this traffic.

I think Saint Joes could improve the school by having more and better food options. The cafeteria makes it hard for students to eat healthy. As a D1 runner, this is somthing I found to be challenging.

The worst thing about Saint Joseph's University is the campus housing for sophomores. As I am about to enter my sophomore year I have realized how "unideal" the sophomore housing situation at my university actually is. At Saint Joseph's the housing for sophomores is spread out all throughout the territory owned by Saint Joseph's. Some housing is technically "on campus" however it is located quite a distance from the heart of campus. Additionally, because the housing is so spread out it makes safety a serious issue for sophomores who want to interact, especially at night in Philadelphia.

Lack of diversity; minoirities feel out of place.

Kelley

The worst part about this school is that classes are not engaging. It seems that most professors do not care about the students and therefore do not make class time as exciting as it could be. Cafeteria food as well as on-campus housing should be improved. Athletic facilities including weight rooms are terrible.

Freshman housing is very tight and limited. I live in room with two roomates, but the room is very small and cramped. The walls are very thin and I can hear every conversation on the entire floor.

Cara

The worse thing I consider about my school is how the library is more of a social gathering. I wish it had more floors and available quiet space. During Finals week, it's difficult to find a secluded spot. I think if it expanded and added more computers and stayed open all night, it could benefit many people.
