Saint Louis University Top Questions

The people- they care. A lot. It's like a new family. You can be unique (ie not religious in a Jesuit school, a total nerd, etc.) and still be accepted AND you can still find people who like the same things you do or find people who like things you've never heard of. The environment- a beautiful campus feel next to the city. The mission- while it has religious roots, community service and volunteerwork are encouraged. The mascot- a freakin' BILLIKEN!

The diversity of Saint Louis University is incredible. One may assume that the many different nationalities here would conflict. But this is farthest from the truth. I have met many students here who are looking for the same thing as I, that is a place to prosper and call the community "family". SLU not only provides outstanding education but provides an environment that feels more like a close net community than a college. The outstanding professors take there time to teach and experience a course with their students. We may all be different in looks but common in experience.

Something unique about Saint Louis University is the effort that the professors put into helping the students succeed if they seem to be struggling. Another thing that is unique is the wide variety of people that you get to meet and become aquainted with while attending classes or just walking around campus.

As a transfer student, many things about Saint Louis University caught my eye. The most important thing was the amount of care and concern that the advisors and other faculty/staff members put forth into my application process. I really felt as though they wanted me at the university. As I was applying to schools , I was scared and nervous, but after speaking to my advisor at Saint Louis University, all my fears had vanished and I didn't feel so alone. After being accepted to SLU I was elated and the rest is history in the making!

I considered many state schools when looking at colleges, but Saint Louis University, a private Jesuit university, stood out to me because of the feeling I got on campus. At many big schools, you just feel like a number, but at SLU, you feel like you're truly part of a community. You know many people you see around campus, you become friends with your professors. It's like having a little hometown inside of the big city.

The Jesuit teachings of challenging the status quo. The focus on a warm learning environment for students to study in or socialize. At SLU, there is an emphasis on forming the whole person to be able to be productive and responsible members of society after leaving with a notable education.

As I had aboved detailed, the school provided the unique oppertunity for many various nationalities to blend into one familiar group bonded not through language and passport, for too many of us hailed from unvisited countries and English was a second language, but rather of common interest, common task, and the common task of learning and the experience of living in an unfamiliar city, country, and in some cases an unfamiliar continent. We all bonded through our time there whether in the classrooms or among the throngs of madrilenos living the renowned Madrid night life.

SLU is a good place to be, especially if you're looking for a solid, non-State school education

This school is very very very green, very high emphasis on protecting the environment.

The school allowed me to start over as myself despite the problems my family faced throughout highschool. The school was perfect for me, and I felt comfortable being myself among all of my classmates and the school's faculty. The school is in a city, and it was always upbeat and moving. The campus is beautiful. As a member of a sorority, I felt accepted and cared for at all times.

I've always wanted to go to my school due to its proximity to my home, the diversity of majors that it offered, and also the beautiful campus. However, once I got here, I realized that those three benefits weren't what make St. Louis University unique. My school is unique not only because of our odd mascot (the Billiken), but because of the extreme outpouring of help that the students offer both each other and the St. Louis community at large. Whether we are helping someone study, improving our recycling programs, or doing community service, we are always helpful.
