Saint Vincent College - Pennsylvania Reviews

Saint Vincent College is described as a close-knit and rural college founded on Benedictine Tradition. Not as corny as it sounds. You know people in major/outside. News flow isn't always the best. If you bond with teachers and professors easily, you will always have the upper hand. Professors care and work with you. Many repeatedly encourage students to visit offices. Very open. Running trail by cornfields, wetlands to explore, two lakes, a cemetery, woods, and school is only 2-10 minutes from Walmart/The Mall/etc (Many job opps aside from work study). Mass held in the basilica on Sunday. Professors are also VERY FRIENDLY monks that live on campus. Don't feel pressured if not religious, no requirements.

Miscellaneous:
Athletics huge here. Will pass several official/intramural teams daily.
Tuition reduced a lot. Listed price is falsely high.
Safe. Quiet/calm weekends.
Housing OKAY. Really depends.
Good food. Can be repetitive though. Many vegetarian options.

Beautiful campus! McKenna School of Business is unbeatable! Education offered at Saint Vincent College is top notch. Small campus, so easy to meet new people and find who you fit with.
Saint Vincent College was a great school. You could tell that they really cared about their students. One thing that I would like to see change is on extremely days I think a shuttle should run more often so that students didn’t have to walk so far. Also, obviously I wish tuition would be cheaper!
