I'm a current student of Saint Leo University! I love it! The small campus is perfect for me. It aids in the development of community on campus. There is a also so many things to get involved with. There is a wide range of extracurriculars and the Campus Activities Board rocks! They inspire every other organization on campus to contribute to campus life and so it is always a fun time here! The education is also great. In turns of academics, we truly are a hidden oasis. The local area life is not that great, other than that, Saint Leo University is an amazing place to grow.
Review Saint Leo University
I have just finished my first semester as a college freshman at Saint Leo University. It was a great experience! The teachers are very open to help and make class fun or easier to learn the subjects. I love how everyone on campus whether it be the students, faculty or visitors are extremely friendly and polite. The only thing I could complain about is not having anything really close to campus. The city of Saint Leo is just the college so anything you want to do or visit is a good amount of distance away. Not a walking trip. The SLU CAB tries to bring things to do at school so we have some entertainment here and there besides sporting events. Without them I'm sure the beauty and people at the school could hold the standard as a place I would want to be at.
I've enjoyed most of my classes so far; some electives I feel are useless and a waste of my money though. I understand the schools intent of making us well rounded individuals with the university exploration classes, but honestly, most kids just BS their way through them and retain little knowledge on the subject.

Professors are caring, nice, knowledgeable, and fair. Great all around!

Class sizes are small, which I find attractive and more personable.

Classes in the newer buildings have access to more technology and those in the older buildings are sort of left to fend for themselves with little to no technology.
