University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

The night access program does not let you have the opposite sex in your dorm past 2am on weekends.

The food because for how much we pay to go here, we should have more selection and higher quality.

I think that the worst thing about the University of St. Thomas is that alot of the students are not very welcoming and friendly as well as most students who come here go home all the time. I have noticed as a freshman that it is extremely hard to meet people that are nice and open to be friends. So, it has been difficult to make new friends at this school. Many people come to this school knowing alot of people from their high school so it makes it challenging.

I really like my college except that it is so expensive and they make you think that you will be getting more help than you acctually get. I worked in the phone center and we were raising so much money from alumni for the 'annual fund' and I didn't get any help for the school.

The science classes start out with huge auditorium classes, which is not what St. Thomas advertises as a part of their "small class sizes" deal. I also don't like the fact that there is no underground tunnel system or miniature shuttle system for the extremely cold Minnesota winters. The dorms are too expensive for the conditions that their in. Toilets, sinks, cabinets, carpetry, wall paint, bathroom tiles, showers, windows, ALL NEED REPLACEMENT! The communication between north and south campus activities are also very secluded.

The worst thing about this school is living on campus. As an out-of-state student, they make it very difficult to adjust to college life. It is also a commuter school for the most part. The campus will be full of students going to class during the day in the middle of the week. However, once it gets past five o'clock, the campus is dead. During the weekend, the campus is dead as well. In addition, you can have fun at school here but it won't be in the dorms because they are extremely strict.

I would have to say, personally, it would be the tuition. The financial aid is very helpful. But, coming into college with very little money, I know that I will walk away with loans. The education that I have recieved, and the personal growth that I have had is worth the money and if I had to decide again if I was coming to St. Thomas I would apply all over again.

Stereotyped as snoby rich kids, which is true for some of us but not all. Also are school sayd how diverse we are, but we are not at all.

That the school keeps growing so class sizes are starting to increase. Also, it's very expensive to go here and they could give out more financial aid. They need more affordable on-campus living and more upper-class options as well.

St. Thomas is an excellent school. However, everything has a downside, and St. Thomas' downfall is its insanely high tuition. For one year at St. Thomas, the average cost per student is about $42,000. St. Thomas does offer a very large academic scholarship, but the cost is still quite large compared to most schools. I would not recommend St. Thomas for a student who is not fairly well off financially.
