鈥淧rofessors expect a lot from you鈥 at the University of St. Thomas, a modest-sized Catholic school with a liberal arts flavor. 鈥淭here is no spoon-feeding,鈥 attests a junior, 鈥渂ut you actually learn! There are no multiple-choice tests, but this guarantees that you learn the subject. Students are competitive but very helpful to each other. I love it!鈥 These students also rave about the small-school feel at UST: 鈥淗aving grown up attending large public schools, there鈥檚 something to be said for smaller schools, where you鈥檙e not treated like a number but a real person. Each of my professors, advisors, etc. knew me personally before the end of my first semester. They are truly concerned with making sure that you fully understand the material and are getting the most out of your academic experience.鈥 The experience is enhanced by a requirement that demands all students take a philosophy and a theology course each academic year. For all the pluses, there are a few minuses worth preparing for---particularly, 鈥渢he Financial Aid Office and the Business Office.鈥 But overall, 鈥淭he experience at UST is amazing,鈥 says an undergrad. 鈥淭hat sums it up.鈥
