USJ started life as a women's college, meaning that we were top-notch in diversity, in a welcoming college experience, and in academics! The campus was always clean and quiet enough at night that everyone slept soundly. That was my freshman year experience and I loved it so much. Now that it has turned co-ed and is making the shift into becoming a sports school, plenty of the previous features I've mentioned are rapidly becoming obsolete. Sexual harassment on campus is on the rise. Students no longer wish to walk alone at night, when before women would wander the campus to their heart's content after dark, so long as they were quiet. The famous coach of the men's basketball team refuses players face consequences for their reckless actions. Keeping all this in mind, the teachers at the school are competent. They are often wonderful and eloquent people, who research the fields they teach with care and are often eager to share their wisdom. It's a good school, but a bad environment now.
I have lived here for about a year and a half. There are zero parties, food is terrible, Public safety is very strict, buildings are breaking, there is a very small gym, heat doesn't work, there's no A/C, extremely small class sizes, and no transport if you don't have a car. The pros are small classes, good nursing program, pretty campus when there no construction, close to West Hartford ( there is no public transport or shuttle there, however), its in a nice area. Really a commuter school that happens to have dorms basically. Everyone also leaves each weekend, a car is almost a must. They also don't have enough parking spots so, its double edge sword. It also a D3 school so.... and no student life like clubs and stuff
The University of Saint Joseph is a wonderful school, but it could use some improvement. Although the tuition is high, their financial aid packages cover a lot of the costs. The campus is tiny, but it is nice. Some people have noisy neighbors in the dorms, as I did. They would scream karaoke at 3 am. Our school has "quiet hours" set in place, but they didn't always listen. The dorms have no air conditioning so my dorm was always hot. This could just be Assumption Hall. The food is always hit or miss. The Cafe sometimes tries to make fancy meals, but they come out bland. Other times they offer hand rolled sushi and it is delicious. The food is definitely overpriced as well. Lastly, the teachers. Some teacher loves what they're doing and love to work with you until you understand what you are doing. Other teacher don't understand how to convey concepts to students in a manner that is understandable. The class sizes are really small, so you get to know the teachers personally as well.
