Ive
been to this school for several years and am currently
a senior. To sum it all up, I definitely dislike
this school more than I like it. I mean, I
dont like it that much, but in all honesty, it
has several good things about it also. First off,
all the “reviews” here tend to be about other classmates
and how rich, spoil, etc they are. Yeah, some are,
but who cares? Theyre not the ones giving you the
grades honey, its the professors. So for me, I dont
care about my classmates and whatnot, Im not interested in
knowing anyone, making friends, etc. I am interested in getting
a degree. So lets focus on the professors instead, because
they are the ones who are grading you.
Each
professor is different. Remember also that this school is catholic,
so NEARLY everyone is catholic or christian of some sort.
I find here that there are a lot of horrible
professors here, probably like every college to be fair though
but definitely RESEARCH RESEARCH who your professor is before taking
a class with them. There is absolutely no guarantee that
you will have a good professor unless you check their
reviews online and make sure you have the best possible
professor for EACH course. Your grades will sour if you
get a bad prof, and there are plenty at this
school.
Also being catholic, 3 theology courses are required. So
be prepared to learn about imaginary myths, messiahs, prophets and
the great old powerful imaginary guy in the sky call
“god."
School ground is clean and safe, and looks nice.
But I agree with other reviews, definitely very little money
is given to financially help students or expand the science
department (which is the most important aspect of a college).
Money is spent on helping the jocks (athletic center )
and making the school look good. Even professors are underpaid.
Also, most department is small. The biggest one is
business. There are over 100 business professors, associate prof, and
adjunct Profs here, so business can be exciting to major
here, but not so much for students not majoring in
business.
And yes, some kids are snotty, some are
not. Most are christians, and do need a good few
slapping for being retarded and religious, but hey if
youre into that kind of thing, this school is for
you.
If I had known what I know now
about St. Thomas though, I would never had attended it.
But I did and am graduating soon, so I do
agree that its not the best school, but Ive stucked
it through and Im okay.
