Rating 3.65 out of 5 2,139 reviews
A great international experience with a lot of access to different courses that enrichened my holistic learning. Not only was I able to get involve in different activities but the environment at SLU was perfect for me to concentrate on my studies but be able to have fun at the same time. Professors are always available to help and students are incredibly open to meeting others and welcoming international students. I had the pleasure to be able to work at the international office and get to meet all students and organize activities. Not only did this help me build relationships for trained me for my current job position. I would say that every event and experience at SLU will prepare you for a successful future. Overall, amazing experience!
I liked how many clubs there are, there were so many to choose from and the groups (at least the ones I'm apart of) are friendly and always open to new people. The food's alright, but the nearby places are super good. It's in the middle of the dangerous part of the city but the campus is relatively calm. I like the environment and the gardener's make everything look so nice. Though, I would like to change is the faculty's response to mental health crisis's or put more emphasis on the health of students. It was stressful here!
I went to SLU for undergrad and had a great experience! The professors were knowledgeable, and they also cared about my success. The tutoring center and academic advising center were also great tools that helped me perform well in my classes. There were plenty of opportunities to get involved on and off campus. I was involved in several clubs and organizations and worked two on-campus jobs. Between all of these, I got to meet some really cool people and made lifelong friends. One thing that made SLU a good match for me was the size. It was large enough to accommodate a wide range of interests and opportunities. However, it was small enough that I knew people most places I went, classes were a good size, and it wasn't difficult to navigate the campus. Overall, I really enjoyed going to a school where I felt like people cared about me and my experience.
