University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

When looking at my school as a whole, I think that the worst thing about St. Thomas is the lack of places to study. Although we have a library on both North and South campus, they fill up very quickly and tend to get quite loud.

School is a ton of money! It is important to know that you will be able to get a lot of loans at St. Thomas but you will have to pay them all back. But honestly, it's not like they take your money and give you nothing in return. Everything at St. Thomas is top-notch and it shows!

The tuition is highly costly for me. I'm attending the college with financial aid and it still doesn't cover my whole expenses attending there. I wish that there are more scholarships for students who are from low socio economic backgrounds because we want to achieve more but due to financial hardships, it's very challenging. Also if they college can provide work study for many students so they can help themselves more by paying for their books and other expenses.

There is one area in which St. Thomas' diversity goal is lacking: location. Most students at UST are from wealthy suberbs in the Twin Cities area, which means that although there is much diversity at St. Thomas, one often has to search to find it.

The worst thing about the school is the cost, while there are scholarships and loans available it is still costs a lot of money.

The worst thing about my university is the lack of diversity. I was in a diversity program the summer before my freshman year with other minority students and it was one of the best experiences of my life. When the actual college year started, there was not many more diverse students than the group we had formed in the summer. To get the best experience out of your life, mix with as many different people as you can, from different backgrounds, and learn their stories. This will give you a better understanding and respect for others and yourelf.

There are necessary evils that all schools need to have in order to function properly. The University of St. Thomas is no different. In essence, tuition is not a bad thing but I would like to see tuition costs to go down. There are always ways to make attending college affordable for example finding scholarships or working. If the tuition at St. Thomas was a little lower, then I would be the happiest man alive.

Since it is in more of an urban setting, the worst thing about St Thomas is parking, which is very limited to on street parking, which has restrictions, or you have to buy a pass to park on the lots on campus, which are still very limited.

The worst part would have to be class registration. Classes fill up quickly and sometimes you cant get into the classes you need.

The worst part about St. Thomas would be the English department. They force us to read books that at times go against the very core elements of our Catholic faith. Being a Catholic University the whole idea of a Catholic education is important to me and that is why I chose UST thus leaving the English Department a huge diappointment.
