University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

Person who doesn't have the financial support.

I think there is a fit for everyone at this school!

A person looking for a "large college" exterience should not attend this school. The University of St. Thomas does have the "smaller school" feel to it (which I really like). It is not uncommon to see familiar faces when walking around campus. Also, the University of St. Thomas is an academic school and thus, has high expectations for your success.

When looking for colleges, the decision is difficult to weigh. No matter where one decides to spend their time and money at, it is really hard to say what kind of person would like it here. As I roam campus, I often meet kids that are just like myself. In contrast, I also find an entire variety of other people here as well. If a person minds the cold, does not want to feel like a small fish in a big sea, and cannot afford the cost of attending college here, they probably do not belong here at St. Thomas.

You should't attend this school if you want to be apart of a large university or state school. St.Thomas has a relatively small school feel, and class sizes are about 20-30 students, where class discussion and participation are emphasized. There are no actual sororities or fraternaties on campus either, but there are various clubs and organizations one can get involved in. There is not a lot of "city-life" at St.Thomas either, so if you are looking for that kind of an experience from a very large university I would not reccomend St.Thomas.

A person that is unsure what they want to do in the future should not attend this school. They will spend way too much money trying out classes that they would be better off taking at a community college. Also, people that dont find friends easy will have a very difficult time finding friends and might wanna look in a different school. This school is not right for everyone but if you take a visit and it feels right, chances are you will enjoy your time here.

Someone who likes a large university with lots of activity on the weekends.

I believe that everyone fits into this school since everyone is accepted by others.

I think the kind of person that should go to St. Thomas is someone who wants to get out of a small town. You are in the city and that is great, but you are secluded enough that the change is not too durastic. I came from a small town and love the kind of city/ kind of secluded life.

I really do not think that there is a particular person that should not attend this school because I feel that the University of St. Thomas is very welcoming when it comes to all kinds of students.
