St. Louis County Reviews
Rating 3.9 out of 5 403 reviews
In the Saint Louis county area I have had a relatively good experience. However, in various parts of the Saint Louis area people who are minorities like myself may experience microaggressions. I before have worked in landscaping to get money for the upcoming semester and when I work in more European American areas that are more wealthy, people here have been consistently and considerably more unkind in their demeanor. This takes form in eye rolling, avoidance, glares, ignoring, and even more blatant forms from asking for someone who looks like them more. And as a minority man with a minority woman of different race, depending on where we go, we will have people staring at us and trying to avoid us. My wish as a psychologist would be to change the image people have of minorities, and part of that would conducting research that has already been done but eliminating the biases previous conductors had and leading to different results that can help change the way people see us.
I have lived in St. Louis for all of my life. It has given me relationships that will last me a lifetime and opportunities I could never take for granted. St. Louis is a close community. It does not have a big population so it's easy to connect with people and see them often, giving it a true neighborly feel. My favorite things to do in St. Louis would be to go to the zoo, the Science Center, Union Station and the Delmar Loop. St. Louis has so many attractions and a lot of historical events that took place. I love St. Louis. One thing I would be happy to see is for the crime rate to go down. Although St. Louis is a beautiful place, it is not a secret that we hold the title of being the murder capital. I want to see St. Louis rise above that and work to being a safer place for all people to live.
I love all the things to do in St. Louis! There are some safety concerns in St. louis, but if you are a nearby resident you probably know where and when to avoid these concerns.
