This University is a breath of fresh air. The support is incredible. Every single item on my checklist was checked off when we visited this school. The campus is beautiful, the academic support is second to none and the people genuinely want to help the students grow. They have many hands on options for the students to get true life experience. Every time we have attended events at this school, we meet wonderful individuals who are committed to my goals. I cannot wait to attend this school!
I throughly enjoy the University of Saint Joseph. My experience here has been amazing. From Cafeteria workers to professors, the staff is amazing. The advisors are very helpful when finding the best situations for me to help me graduate with lots of financial support as well. Many opportunities for jobs in campus that may help the cost of tuition. I enjoy the one-on-one leading with the professors due to the small class sizes. One thing I would improve about the college is the activities on the weekends. With more student activities offered, the more exciting the campus would be on days off from classes. Overall the University of Saint Joseph is the best campus who want a small campus, meaningful relationships with their community, and a save environment.
Honestly, this school is a commuter school. If you want an actual college experience on campus do not attend this school. The advisors are all over the place and I do not know a single person that is able to graduate on time. They screw you over here. I should have left much earlier than I did. The ONLY plus is how respected the athletes are (most of the time). There is no parking here and considering it is a commuter school that says a lot. The classes offered are offered every other semester or every other year, therefore if you don’t get the required grade you are going to have to take it a year or even two years later. The dorms feel like a prison. The school “Jays Nest” is only open until 10pm so if you need a coffee for your late night studying your are out of luck. Honestly, I would only come here if you need your bachelors and are a commuter. Don’t recommend if you want to have a college experience.
