University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

Great Boy to Girls ratio and A lot of beautiful ladies

St. Thomas offers religious classes which creates well rounded individuals .

The teacher to student ratio is unique at St. Thomas and is one of the reasons why I chose to go there. The ratio is 14 to 1 which is outstanding because you get to learn from a professor who knows your name. It is so much more benefical to learn with a class of 14 than to learn with a class of say 75. Learning in smaller numbers allows an individual to be less distracted. A student feels more engaged to the subject because a professor is talking more to you than to a group of many kids.

It was a religious based , and Catholic based, and the education was good.

the smaller campus and off campus fun. your not considered just a number and teachers try to get to know all their students.

The library; there are about 5 libraries here. I also like that the school has travel opportunities to study abroad.

lots of individual attention from profs

The only other school I considered was UW Madison. The two schools are not alike in any way. Madison has such an incredibly large campus, and is right in the middle of the city. St. Thomas, on the other hand, is nearby downtown St. Paul, but the area still feels somewhat suburban. What's interesting about St. Thomas is that while the main campus functions like this, there is also a campus in downtown Minneapolis, and the University provides a shuttle for students to go back and forth. The size is also much smaller at Saint Thomas.

The University of St. Thomas is unique because the faculty care about the success of the students, wheras other schools' faculty do not get as involved.

It is a private Catholic school, that claimed to offer great financial aid (which the financial aid isn't horrid, but still covers some expenses). It is a small campus within a large city/cities.
