University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

I wish I had known all the clubs and activities available on campus.

I wish I would have known more about the life of those in my intended major

If I had known this I probably would have chosen a different school. After highschool, I wanted to have a larger social life. During the week, their is many people around and fun things to do. Yet, on the weekend there is no one. When I came here I had no idea what I wanted to major in. I was constantly changing my mind and the limited number options did not help.

I wish I would have known exactly all the options for classes I could have taken right away. There are so many different majors and classes that anyone can take. There is a lot of variety and many interesting subjects of study, which is awesome, and I wish I would have paid more attention to that before I actualy registered in the summer.

Although I have nothing but positive feelings towards the University of St. Thomas, I am actually transferring to the University of Iowa next year because they have a major (cinema) that St. Thomas does not have. I wish that I had thought to look at schools that offered a wide variety of things I was interested in and had given the state of Iowa a chance. I also wish I could have known how important it was to have quality professors, but fortunately I got lucky and had them anyway!

I wish I had known more about what campus life was like. It is a decently large school, but still has kind of a small school feel. Also, it is like a community, though things are very quiet on the weekends.

I wish I had known that my chances of practicing Japanese with a real Japanese person would be slim to none. Also, finding diversity on campus is much more difficult than it needs to be.

Before I came to this school I wish I would have known what the school expected for grades and transfer students. My first semester of college was at Augsburg College. In mid semester I decided to apply to University of St. Thomas. In high school I maintained an above average gpa, but my ACT score wasn?t up to the standard for St. Thomas. Being a transfer student from Augsburg I thought that they?d look at my first semester grades and they did, but they also looked at my gpa and ACT, and put me as a provisional student.

I wish I had known the major I wanted to start off with because the requirements for the grad school I'm trying to into and the University's degree I'm currently acheiving are slightly off. Other than that, I love my school. The funny thing is that I've never toured University of St.Thomas, but did for all other schools I've applied for.

I wish I would have known that college is much harder than high school ever was. I wish I would have appreciated a home cooked meal, chat with my parents/family, just sitting in my room alone. Don't get me wrong...I love college and my new life, just miss some of the feel good things only a home can bring.
