University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

I think the Catholic Studies Department is unique, it is the first Catholic Studies Department in the country. The community that is formed within this department is amazing. I am challenged daily in my classes. I am a Catholic Studies major and a Psychology minor. I am challenged to seek the truth in all of my classes. The teacher's within the Catholic Studies department, want to challenge you, and help you to learn. I know that when I graduate I will walk away with an excellent education.

My school is catholic and every professor has at least a doctorate in their field, which is advantageous because they are also great at relating the course to us. There are also many activities everyday at a smaller school resulting in knowing a larger percent of your classmates.

There are many special things about the University of St. Thomas, but the one thing that makes this school unique is its unity. It is so amazing how this school has many programs, events and clubs to make everyone feel welcome. During my first week, I immediately felt welcomed because the people here would come up and talk to me and let me be apart of what they were doing. It is great how every week, there is always something new and an interesting activity to take part in. That is the the most unique thing about St. Thomas.

Big location in terms of population and urban setting but the school and class sizes are relatively small.

This school is in the nation's top ten for study abroad programs. UST offers a variety of courses abroad and nationally, and if they do not have a specific program, students can design their own and work with other schools in Minnesota. They are also reasonable priced. As far as private schools go, UST has a large amount of majors and minors available (90+ majors). Students can also take classes at Hamline, St. Cate's, Macalester, and Augsburg.

My School has a catholic envirnoment to go along with being catholic in name. It has great community and great professors. It has only professors teaching. It is also in the big city but does not have the big city feel. It allows for people from everywhere to come and find a place to feel at home. It also allows for many great opportunities that go alone with the big city.

Its Catholic Tradition is incredibly unique and it can offer a refreshing perspective on many current events.

The location is great! We have our own little community that is right in the heart of the city. Which makes it great and flexible for any type of student. There are many small buisnesses surrounding the campus that students get involvled with.

Beautifil location in a beautiful city.

There is a really lively Catholic community here if you want it, but it's not shoved down your throat if you aren't interested. The location is also really nice. St. Paul is a great city with lots to do, and so is Minneapolis which is nearby. The campus is very picturesque and right on the Mississippi River.
