University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

The best thing about my school is that each class is limited to about 20 students so everyone gets the full attention they need from the professors.

The best thing about UST is the post-graduation opportunities. While I will be attending law school directly after my undergrad, other students have experienced a high volume of work opportunites through on-campus visits by professionals and many online career forums through UST. The UST community has a large network of connections throughout the midwest. If a student is looking to stay in the midwest or enter in to a masters or pre-professional program immediately post-graduation, UST is the perfect school.

The best part about St. Thomas is the relatively small campus: literally size, as well as student body and class sizes. I have never felt like "just a number" at UST because my professors know my name and my largest class was an introductory biology lecture that had approximately sixty students. Furthermore, living in the dorms, I could leave my room ten minutes before class and arrive with time to spare. While UST is the largest private school in Minnesota, it still has a sense of community and you recognize smiling faces where ever you go!

They have people who care for you and will help you and give independance to you when you need it. They give opprotunities to people to find themselves and succeed.

When I first walk on to the St. Thomas campus, and saw the quad, the beautiful architecture of the buildings, and the friendly students I had a overwhelming positive feeling. I knew that St. Thomas was the place where I wanted to learn and make new relationships. I think most of the students would agree with me that the best part of St. Thomas is the univeristy's neighborly and amiable culture, and at the same time it has all the beneficial attributes of being in a big city, like St. Paul.

Small class sizes, combined with concerned professors who provide constant access to themselves and necessary material. The advisory staff is great as well, proving personal help concerning grades and classes. Students are personable, intelligent, and driven. Laziness is not rewarded by any measure, as high standards for the level of education is maintained.

I consider the diversity to be the best thing here at St. Thomas. People from all over the state and country come here and I love hearing stories about how they heard about St. Thomas. I live only about 40 minutes away so St. Thomas was not a stranger to me but I have a friend from Africa who is enrolled here which is amazing. I think our diverse cultures make for a very respecting and open minded campus which is very different from my high school.

The town I live in isn't a very large town, and now that I am living in St. Paul ,I love living in the cities. It is fun with all of the different activities to d, and it makes me feel older and that I am more on my own.

The best part of going to the University of St. Thomas is the professors. When I decided to become a music major here, I was a little worried because the facilities aren't exactly up-to-par. However, the professors within the department are absolutely incredible and they makeup for the lack of practice rooms and a nice performance hall.

The breath of educational and social choices available. The quality of staff instruction as well as the facilities are all first-class. If one wishes to do well, UST provides the necessary tools to achieve any educational goal that has been made at the onset of the first day on campus.

The best thing about my school is that it is really hands-on. If you are having a problem with anything there is always someone there to help you. The teachers actually get to know you and know your name so it is a lot easier to learn and stay on top of things. My school is also a fun and safe place to be.

I consider the best thing about the University of St. Thomas would be the size and location. The size of the school can determine social life, classroom life and the ability to find lifelong friends. St. Thomas has provided me with amazing relationships I know I will have forever. As for the location, St. Thomas is located between the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul), allowing its students to live the city life and still have the opportunity to escape to one of the thousands of lakes in Minnesota and enjoy the outdoors.

The best thing about the University of St. Thomas would be the teacher to student ratio. In most schools the ration is a very high number of students to few teachers, but at St. Thomas there is a 15:1; 15 students to 1 teacher. There is no better way of having a good learning experience than having a one on one learning relationship with your teachers.

Making life-long friends and sharing experiences with them.

Good academics, good class sizes.

small campus, a good transition from high school

The best thing about the University of Saint Thomas is the staff. All of the staff memebers work extremely hard to get to know you and want you to do well in their classroom.
