University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

In the instructors I have had the fortune of studying under, I have discovered zeal to teach and strong belief in what they are doing. I have never been more open to becoming an instructor than after the last couple years at the University of St. Thomas. After experiencing the affect they have had on me I would be honored to affect another person in that way.

The spirit. St. Thomas really encourages spirit and has a lot of spirit oriented events. Also, I like that it's a smaller school. Many of my friends are at larger schools and have classes with 300+ people. My largest class is 60 people and I know most of them. I like that I can put names to faces, and that my professors know who I am.

The University of Saint Thomas is very unique, mostly due to the Christian basis of the campus and of the incredible academics. There is a seminary, chapel, and multiple Christian organizations and clubs that are readily available on campus. I am currently involved in a Bible Study, Gospel Choir, and a worship service called Ignite. Also, the class sizes are quite small, which provides an excellent education for students as a result of the individual attention that is able to be provided. It is a very safe and clean campus, with many wonderful activities to participate in.

The most unique thing about our school is being able to go to downtown Minneapolis whenever needed or wanted for leisure. Not only are you able to grocery shop at Target but also shop downtown at Nicolett Mall or take the light rail to Mall of America. This factor allows students to have the sense of feeling of being "on their own," which is great! In addition, the architectural design of our buildings and the history behind the school definitely shines as you enroll into the school and live on campus.

St. Thomas is just the right size. The profs really care about you and are genuine. All my profs know all the students' name and can actually talk after class and during class without any confusion.

We really focus on making the school feel like we are one big community. There are many clubs and organizations you can get involved in. Professors know you by your first name.

It has a great study abroad program , also this school was a lot smaller than the other schools I had considered, which I was more familiar to, because of my high shcool.

I will say that, what make this college unique is the professors. They know what they are doing by teaching in a way that will help the students understand the subjects and learns. Along with the time the professor have after class to help answer the students question. Another things that makes this school cool. It is constantly helping promote diversity here to bring in people of color to make the campus a place where students can leran about other type of culture.

They are Division 3 for athletics. I would have rather gone to a school with a Division 1 level of sports, but in the whole scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. If you want to get a good education, this is a good school for it, but the "college feel" disappears with the nonexistence of legitimate school spirit derived from things such as atheletics and social events.

Smaller class sizes. Great interaction with professors.
