Saint Louis University Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Danielle

Saint Louis University is best known for its mascot--the billiken. I know people who go on our school tour just to view and rub the belly of our well-known billiken statue. The unique qualities of our billiken stimulate intrigue in onlookers, while producing school pride among students who attend the university.

Haha, well whenever I tell anyone I go to Saint Louis University they immediately are impressed because of dangerous the surrounding area is. Truth be told, I've been here for almost a year and I've never been mugged, beat up, or shot and I go out on the weekends and don't get back until around 2am. As long as you stay in campus and travel with a friend it really isn't a big deal, just be smart. Also, our basketball team definitely deserves major respect.

My school is best known for a great education for a low price. Many students in my community attend this school to obtain a associates degree in a two year program before transferring to a university. My school is also known for its A plus program. Students that attend local high schools, obtain a cumulative grade point average of a 2.5 for all four years, and meet fifty hours of community service are awarded the A plus scholarship. This scholarship provides free tuition to my school for two years.
