University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

As a Freshman, it is difficult to get off campus because of the location of the school. St. Thomas is located in an excellent neighborhood and I love that surrounding area, but it's hard to get around because most Freshman don't have cars due to the overwhelming cost to park as a Freshman at St. Thomas.

The most frustrating thing at my school is registration time. Classes fill up so fast! Yet professors are really good about expanding class sizes for those who need the credits.

The lack of diversity. I expected to meet a lot of students from all over the country, but the large majority of students at UST are from within thirty miles away. I like the people here, but I was hoping to meet people from a different cultural background, or even just from outside the Midwest.

Have to keep a 3.0 to keep your scholarship.

Aside from typical homework frustrations that nearly everyone in school experiences, there is nothing that frustrates me about my school
