St Catherine University Top Questions

I haven't started at St. Catherine University yet, but I wish I would have known about it before I applied for so many more schools. I kind of wasted money applying for colleges that really weren't for me, and then I found St. Catherine University and fell in love. It may be an all girls school and it may be expensive, but it is definately worth it.

That it does not have the best Finance program

I wish I knew the dates of when the tuition bills were due and more about how much the finances costed. It ended up being way more than expected due to dorming and books expenses. I also wish I knew more about loans and how they work.

I wish I had understood how expensive the school really is and how difficult it is to get financial aid.

I feel like I was very educated about the school. I researched it thoroughly before I decided to attend.

I knew that that classes at St. Kates were discussion based but I wish I would have known how to lead discussions and participate in them better. I attended a small high school and was comfortable around everyone but we never had to discuss anything. I wish i would have a better knowledge on how to not feel so inferior and participate more.

I wish that I would have been told about the classes, which ones to take, etc. I don't want to waste money and time, but so far, it's been all right. Also, what I could do to take advantage of my education like classes or activities.

That's a good question. Where the College of St. Catherine is located is in a relative large city and I am from a very small city. Ever heard of Belle Plaine, Minnesota? Social interactions are a little different between the two cities and that would have helped me a little if I would have known. I would have liked to try harder to see what additional finicial aid would have been available to me. It seems no matter what college one attends, college is expensive. I think it would be more beneficial for colleges to be more affordable.

The one thing that i wish i would have known before coming to Saint Catherine University is realizing how much help and information there is out there around you. Also, how much people are willing to help you just to get to college or finding the money to be able to go to college since money is always the one thing that really gets to people. College may be expensive but it realy depends on how bad you really want it. If you open your eyes and mind more, you will see how much possible things can happen for you.

To give it a chance. I hated CSC my first two years. If i knew now, what I knew then, I would not have doubted myself and the school at every turn. i would have not waited two years to get involved on-campus and I would have tried harder in classes and to meet people. I wishI had known how much I could love my school now, when i was applying then. i wish I had known how important CSC would become to me once I gave it a chance.
