The Aquinas Institute of Rochester Reviews
Rating 3.89 out of 5 166 reviews
I experienced many problems with AQ, from disorganized administration to a lack of concern for my safety as a student. I had some very great teachers here who cared deeply about their students, and some who were downright cruel. I felt prepared for college, but at the expense of my mental health. If you are into science and football, the school is great. However, it ignores lesser sports that don’t bring in money, and it ignores its potential for a thriving performing and visual arts department. Overall, I would recommend sweeping changes.
I liked the Aquinas community and their emphasis on teaching “goodness, discipline, and knowledge”. Aquinas is like a family and that allows for a positive, healthy environment to learn and work in.
Aquinas has offered an excellent academic experience. The teachers are dediccated to their students. It has a family, close knit community of alumni and fellow students.
