University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

I think the worst thing about my school is that there are a lot of undergraduate core requirement classes you must take and pass to graduate.

The school tends to very clique oriented. Also, the school is not great for majors besides business or some science.

I really CANNOT say one negative thing about the University of St.Thomas. I love it and think it's a great place for a wide range of diverse and unique students.

There is a lack of college feel, kids aren't very involved in activities and most kids hometowns are within a 50 mile radius so people often go home on the weekends.

The worst thing is the price and lack of financial aid. It is quite exvepnsive and is hard to see where the money is going to to. Most people get aid but it is usually not enough to bring down the price to a reasonable level

The food choices, not many choices and it's expensive.

The worst thing about my school is how they handle meal plan donations. I volunteered on a children orphanage in South America campaign were students could donate a meal from there meal plan to this cause. The problem was that St. Thomas was only going to allow 20 percent of the money that comes out of the donated meals to go towards the cause and they would not tell us where the rest of the money was going. In some respect I feel that this school is stealing money that is not theirs.

There is too much emphasis on Catholicism and everyone is very conservative.

Hate crimes, high-class floosies, untold amounts of alcohol, military academies on campus, high costs, horrible food service, I've never met the president, seminarians, etc...

It is a private school that attracts kids from private high schools and upper middle class backgrounds. Because of this, kids that attend are spoiled (some of them) and are very materialistic. It can be an intimidating atmosphere if you don't come from that background and you feel a bit of pressure to fit into that by buying labels and what have you.
