Alum: 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!... Read 2,132 reviews

Sophomore: Jefferson College is a great option for students seeking an environment in which they can develop close bonds with their professors. The college is also affordable and within commuting distance for many students. Campus life is amazing for students who commute to or live on campus. With various club options and sponsored activities, there is always something to do. However, the college could improve the staff that is hired. Some professors and faculty are not qualified for their positions or appear as though they do not want to work there.... Read 244 reviews

Graduate Student: I started my first year at LCCC at the peak of the Pandemic in the fall of 2020. Every one of my classes for that first year were virtual classes met over zoom or asynchronously. While my preferred learning method is hands on, I will say that the professors of Lewis and Clark Community College made the best of the circumstances, and I had a great time. I was only there for two years to get my associates degree, so I can't say that I saw enough of the school to have any opinions on what I would have liked to see change.... Read 241 reviews

Freshman: Being an international student, I was worried that I was going to be a misfit and feel so miserable in college! But the Lindenwood campus is diverse, friendly and very welcoming. From the students to the staff, you are always surrounded by love and kindness. Another thing I lobe is that the school spirit is always fostered and promoted by the various activities hosted on campus as well as the different sporting activities. There is a wide range of sporting clubs to join and you can easily find where you belong. One thing I would lobe to see changing about Lindenwood University is the food. There are only two dining halls on campus which limits the variety of food. With time, you get tired of eating the same food! Also international students do not have a lot of funds allocated to them, I hope we as a school can attract more donors so that international students can get good scholarship packages....

Junior: What I like about Saint Louis Community College is that there are very good teachers and and understanding staff. Saint Louis Community College is also affordable for the most part compared to other universities or schools ! The people and students are nice and helpful and they have a lot of resources to help the students succeed . Like study places and the library and a new cafeteria . Something I would like to see changed is the eligibility requirements for financial aid. I feel like sometimes they are very strict and life is very difficult out here and sometimes it’s hard to revive financial aid even when you need it . Also, they say there are a lot of scholarships out there but it seems like no matter how many applications I fill out I never get chosen.... Read 341 reviews

Sophomore: The Chemistry department is amazing. The professors are always willing to help with assignments. They are there to help you succeed and welcome you to office hours when you need help. The advisors aren't always the most helpful when trying to figure out your class schedule. I think it'd be beneficial there to be advisors for different degree areas. For example, I think it'd be much easier to have an advisor for all science students, one for business students, one for nursing students, and so on and so forth. That would probably require more advisors than necessary but I think dividing the degrees by category would help. Sometimes it's best to talk with the department chair of the degree you're pursing rather than advisors.... Read 496 reviews

Alum: SWIC Community College is a great place to go for higher education while being able to save money. Plus, many of the teachers have, or do, taught/teach at Universities, so you're basically getting the same level of education elsewhere but cheaper! Plus, there are a variety of classes, trainings sessions , sports, and degrees to choose from. This college is also situated across the street from a variety of businesses such as Walmart, YMCA, and various fast food restaurants (which is an essential college amenity). This college felt like the perfect transition from high school into the realm of higher education. It definitely squashed the mental burden that Universities tend to impose on new incoming students and adults. I was sad when I graduated, but happy to have gained such important and useful information from my professors and classes that will carry on with me forever.... Read 430 reviews

Sophomore: I transferred to Maryville from Saint louis University. At Saint Louis University I felt that my educational needed weren’t being met. The professors didn’t teach that well and were not there when I needed help. At maryville, the professors are very understanding and helpful. They help you with more than the course they are teaching and if they can’t help you they always make sure to find someone who can. The professors at Maryville really want to see you succeed unlike the ones at Saint Louis University. Everyone is welcoming and there are so many events at Maryville that helps you fit in with the right group for you. Maryville also have life coaches which are a huge help! They help you with almost everything whether it be academic help, scheduling, finding jobs, etc. The life coaches always check in on you making sure you are doing okay and if you’re not they always try to make it better. I’m really enjoying my time here at Maryville!... Read 693 reviews

Sophomore: Personally, I loved the campus at Missouri Baptist University. With it being more of an enclosed campus, it makes me feel safer. The people at Missouri Baptist are always full of love and much joy. I think being on a Christian-based campus not only helps the mind, but it also helps the soul by having that constant feeling of love and connection with God. I wish that I went to Chapel more than I did this past semester because I felt that I drew away from God more than I should have. But being around people who talk about God daily and who praise him every second makes life on campus better. When it is time for me to graduate college and go to graduate school, I could not imagine going to a different university or college other than a Christian-based university or college. Missouri Baptist University has set a foundation for students and staff, along with visitors, that I think will remain. I think Missouri Baptist is perfect just the way it was made and that nothing needs to be changed.... Read 259 reviews

Junior: I work Full time as a Para and take all my classes online, so my schooling helps give me tools to use on my job and is flexible so I can do both. All the classes have been geared towards becoming a Special Education teacher and have involved applying what I learn while I work. The instructors are available anytime I need them and really stay connected to make sure I am understanding what I learn. It has been an amazing experience so far.... Read 242 reviews

Recent Alumnus: Midwest is such an awesome school. Since starting I have learn a life long skill and have a job waiting for me once I finish my internship. In just 7 months I went from working a dead end job to having a career waiting for me. With my training at Midwest I'm able to start my career early in life, grow, and make a great living for myself. The hands on experience you get here is top notch and the book work makes your job so my easier because you know how to do things but you also know why you're doing them! The teachers and staff are all so friendly, it really is a little community and I'm so happy I have chosen them to guide me into my career!... Read 29 reviews
