University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

To Students: Be honest with yourself when you're looking at a school's programs, campus, etc. Don't attend a school simply because it's the place you think others want you to be. Pick the school which is right for you, based on what you value in an academic and social setting. When you tour a campus, be sure to observe the students who already attend. Is there any diversity, are they friendly, do they behave in a fashion that you agree with? These things might not seem like such a big deal during the thrill of picking a school but two years and too much money down the road it isn't pleasant to regret the choice that you made. As for making the most of your college experience, get involved. Everyone will tell you this but really...you won't be making any friends by just sitting in your dorm room all year. If you're uncomfortable with the party scene broaden your horizons! You'll eventually find your nitch on campus, and if you don't, become involved in things off campus (a job, volunteer, etc) and then you'll be just fine.

For parents: Let go of the bike and watch your child pedal after their dreams. For students: Ride on with the wind in your hair!
