University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

The cliques that people develop and never break out of during their time at school. There is a weak sense of community which leaves some people feeling lonely and left out.

I think the worst thing about my school is the cost of tuiton. Although UST does offer scholarships and financial aid, it is still expensive! I went into college thinking that I didn't have to have any idea of what I wanted to do after college until my sophomore year. For many of the degrees, you start taking specialized classes your freshman year. If you don't, a lot of times you can't graduate in four years. Because tuition is so high, you want to graduate as soon as possible!

The check-ins at the dorms, sometimes I just want my girlfriend to be able to stay over.

I am going to be a a transfer student to St. Thomas for the spring semester, so i don't really know of anything bad about the school yet. I would probably say the worst thing about St. Thoms would be their campus visit tour guides. I got a bad tour guide when i first toured the school as a senior in high school, and i think that is what turned me off from going to St. Thomas in the first place. Although, now i wish i had gone there form the start.

I think the worst thing about UST is the divisition between the science and business programs. Most other colleges receive credits for science labs that are required to go along with the lecture course and at St. Thomas we do not. I put in 8 hours of lab time plus approximately 4 hours of homework/prep time to my labs and I receive the same 4 credits for the course as a business major that just goes to their lecture 3 times per week. This is unfair to me since I spend more time and put in more work.

I do not think there is a worst part about the university of st.thomas. I think that buildings, especially the engineering and science buildings could use more equipment and updated material/labs especially with how much we pay for schooling.

The worst thing about by school is that it is so expensive. I need a lot of financial aid and even some extra loans just to cover it. A lot of the students here are having their parents pay for their college tuition which seems to not be a problem for them, but for me it's really hard.

Nothing.

At St. Thomas there isn't that much diversity in the undergraduates. I find this to be one of the worst things at the university because of the lack of resources diversity brings into a population of a school.

It's very expensive and the people that go there a very clique oriented.

It's a suitcase college and there isn't very much to do on the weekends.

Parking is very strict around St Thomas, and parking services was not the greatest at helping me figure everything out. If you're going to get a parking permit, make sure you're not getting overcharged, and make sure you know which lot(s) your permit is for. If you park in a lot that your permit does not apply for, even briefly, you WILL get a parking violation. $40 for only a few minutes of being parked is not worth it.

The majority of the people you meet are from Minnesota and almost everyone is from the midwest. There is not a lot of diversity here.

We don't have the "big school" atmosphere at football games and other events.

Parking. I commute right now, and the closest parking is 5 blocks away, since people park their cars overnight on the streets where there is free parking next to the school. I have no chance at those parking spots, and I am there at 7 a.m.

The worts thing about the University of St. Thomas is the high level of tuition that needs to be paid. This high level of payment will lead to students having a larger amount of debt when they graduate.

Hardly anything to do on campus during the weekends and the hours that certain facilities/food places are open

I condisder the worst thing about my school to be the lack of greek life. I wish there was a sorority on campus!

I dont consider anything really bad about the university of St. Thomas. Their teaching style is unique and challenging but thats what makes for a good school. I am at college to learn and achieve the knowledge for my future. The only downside would be the cost. Its alot of money to go their but I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end when i have that excellent degree in my hand and the intillect in the business world.

The amount of credits one can transfer in is limited.
