Saint Joseph’s University Top Questions

Because of the school's location and high price tag, there is not a lot of racial diversity on campus; you hardly find any Latinos or Hispanics or even African Americans. I think that this doesn't do justice to the school's promise of diversity on campus. Additionally, because there is a lack of racial diversity, students are not exposed as much as they could be to other cultures and new ideas. I believe that in the long run, this hurts students, as it doesn't foster a sense of acceptance for others.

I would consider the worst thing about my instition to be the lack of racial/ethnic diversity amongst the student population. The school has previoulsy maintained a relatively high percentage of upple-middle class, Catholic student population, while being surrounding a racially diverse community in Philadelphia. Promotion of attaining more diversity at the school is a priority, yet inclusion of students is still in need of work. Additionally, steps have been made to combat this tension such as the recent inclusion of an Anti-Defamation League sponsored peer training program to help promote diversity and combat bigotry and racism.

The worst thing about my school is the liberal arts cirriculum. Every student is required to take base courses in language, religion, history, etc.

The financial dynamic among students is a very difficult situation to deal with.

The worst thing about my school is the cost! I feel as though the cost of school is very demanding, and ridiculous, especially with the limited housing and meal plan for students.

No football

The worst thing about St. Joe's is the fact that you do a lot of registering for classes alone unless you seek out help for what classes you should take.

The economical classes. You can tell most people here come from alot of money and they flaunt it. Most things are very expensive and the only students it seems to bothers are those who don't have that much money-like myself.

That it is very small and expesive I think that if it cost less it would open the doors for more students. I also do not like that, we had to take so many GER courses.
