Choosing to attend Saint Joe's for my undergraduate degree was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The class sizes are small and intimate, allowing for professors to work closely with their students. Classes are never taught by TAs and most of the professors have doctorate degrees in the field that they are teaching in. They are approachable and always happy to help out. There is always something to do on campus, whether it be a sporting event, club meeting, party, or University sponsored event, and the city is only a short train ride away! We have a phenomenal business school, and our Risk Management program is the best in the country. Our liberal arts program is also top notch. For those wanting to enter the medical field, SJU is connected to Thomas Jefferson University and offers some accelerated masters and doctorate programs. Many students are able to travel abroad or participate in a co-op. SJU truly is an incredible school!
Saint Joe's is quite expensive, however, it is a beautiful campus! I studied psychology there for 4 years and loved it, other than the costs. I am not a big partier, I much rather stay in on the weekends with a good movie and a few good friends. Yet, even in the college atmosphere you can still find others who share similar interests with you! The professors were awesome and really contributed to my learning. My advisor was also really helpful and through the helps of my supports I landed an internship and then a job! Some of the dorm buildings are a little bit outdated, but they are still very nice. I would recommend trying to get any type of grants, scholarships, etc. and try to save as much as you can!
I have loved SJU since I stayed here for orientation. The campus is amazing and safe, and there are always friendly people around to help if you get lost. Living here makes me grateful for the opportunity to live here and be apart of the community. THWND!
