Saint Louis University

I’m currently attending St Louis University. The teachers are good, and I am learning so, so much. I enjoy the swimming pool and awesome gym at the Recreation Center. Always clean. It’s a good place to go if you’re a devout Catholic. The church is one of the most beautiful I have seen. During the school year, Mass is offered three times every day, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered every single day.

I went to the home page of Unilocal St. Louis. And I get «your next review awaits». I just want to know how they knew I graduated from SLU? I mean it was rather recent I attended. 1972 which is 42 years ago. God, sorry Father Faherety, there was no internet, personal computers, cell phones, touch tone phones, and most important no campus. I went when it was a «city school» in every sense of the word.
I attended 1968 through 1972 and received my degree in marketing. Still don’t know what a marketing degree is but I have one. If you are wondering about the years yes it was during the Vietnam war and there was an amazing amount of campus unrest to go along with the social unrest of the times. 1968 for those who don’t remember there were many big stories. Martin Luther King was murdered and the Tet offensive was going on. Walter Cronkite declared the war lost and all hell broke loose. I mean if Walter said it was lost must be true.
We had our student union or play palace (since torn down). We dined on the cafeteria food and drank beer in the bar. Yes they served beer in the Union. Old man Busch paid for it so the tappers had to go in. RIP Auggie and Anheuser Busch. Oh Falstaff was the number one beer in St. Louis at that time. Falstaff had an original marketing program at that time. Free beer to all SLU students. That one worked.
Because it was more Catholic then than now we graduated with 126 hours instead of the normal 120 hours. 6 hours of theology was required. So from kindergarten through college I studied the Catholic religion. It must have worked because I still go to church (more now then younger). I have often remarked I should sue St. Louis U. Why? I went for four years (had to graduate in four years or your ass was in a rice patty) and I am still stupid. Where did they go wrong?
Wonder how long this review will stay up? But I wrote it so Unilocal should keep it up it was their idea after all. Do I miss my years in college not really. I do miss my naps I would take between classes.

I was here a few years ago and I was flying in and out to come to this AMAZING school. By far it was top ten of schools I wanted to attend in the future when I graduated. When I first came here I was with my family and we sat through the new student orientation, we received the tour of the school. There were so many activities on the campus that a student could participate it. There was something to fit everyones interest.
Every other visit it was to help settle my sister into her dorm. One particular weekend during a semester while in town I had the opportunity to spend time in a dorm with someone from the university and attend a class with them the next day. WOW what an experience. I wish I was in high school again so that I could repeat that experience.

This is a review of our college visit. We’ve taken son #1 on quite a few of these and you learn what to expect. First you sit and see the powerpoint presentation, then you take a tour where you see spots on the campus like a cafeteria, dorm room, classroom and usually the student fitness center.
The person who gave the presentation was not prepared. He fumbled his way through it and forgot a few things. Instead of saying something like «when I remember that, I’ll get back to it», he literally just stood there amid silence and waited. Very awkward. The screen that they used wasn’t mounted on the wall, it was on a cart, so if you were sitting in the back of the room, you had some problems viewing it. There was also a delay because they were running out of seats. We made an appointment as everyone else did, so they knew how many people were attending and could have figured that out earlier. So this was not that great of a first impression.
Our tour guide was very friendly and thorough and open to questions. She took us to various spots on the campus, but not what we have experienced other places. We didn’t see a lecture hall, we didn’t see a cafeteria, the dorm room was optional at the end of the tour. The campus itself is very pretty, but I think we needed to see some of the basics.
Overall I was disappointed at our experience. They did call us 3 days later and ask if the school was in my son’s top three choices. I think a survey on our experience would have been more helpful!

A great hospital to visit & stay.

It was my first time visiting SLU at the end of January and I really enjoyed it. The campus was beautiful and had a lively feel. It was great that you could walk through it within a few minutes and also observe the mix of modern and antiquated buildings. The students seemed very nice and welcoming and the academic facilities appeared to be well established. I would enjoy to visit again during warmer months. But, despite the fact that it was so cold, there were plenty of students out and about in comparison to other cold campus I’ve visited. Great place.

My only experience here has been with the student center. It was nice and clean with a nice courtyard out back and several dining choices, such as Chick-​Fil-​A.

The best school I have ever been too !!! This school taught me so much about myself, how to socialize, how to have fun and to also learn at the same time. SLU has brought me to meet the most amazing people and now they are my closest friends. I swear every time I come to town and visit I get tears in my eyes because I miss my college days. I really hope my kids attend this university.

I didn’t realize people were gushing about their alma maters on Unilocal!I’ll take any excuse I can to sing the praises of SLU.
I attended from 2003 – 2007, and I can honestly say that these were the best four years of my LIFE. SLU offers an amazing education, and it’s expensive, but I feel like I certainly got my money’s worth. Scholarships definitely help :)
The campus itself is beautiful, and there were always tons of activities for students to get involved in. As a Jesuit university, SLU really emphasizes the importance of giving back, and I was amazed and impressed at all of the different opportunities for volunteering I was presented with. It really does feel great to give back to others.
I owe my great job, my well-​roundedness, and my hard-​working attitude to SLU. I might not have appreciated what the school stood for during my years there (what do you MEAN we have to take 9 credits each of philosophy and theology?!), but looking back, I can say with confidence that they know what they’re doing.
Gahhh…I miss college. I still get weepy whenever I drive by the campus.

SLU is a great school, if you can afford it. Their financial aid package is good if you are in need, but not everyone (obviously) gets equal amounts of aid.
I enjoyed my time here and really liked all but two teachers. Campus is beautiful and St. Louis is a great place to live.
Go Bills!

I try to explain to people all the time why it is I so love my alma mater.
I came here as a transfer student in an MBA program, so I was only there for one year, but wow, I really fell for this school. We have a world-​class, beautiful campus, with two wonderful museums you should check out — the St. Louis U. Museum of Art and the historic Samuel Cupples House.
We have an amazingly beautiful college chapel and a group of students dedicated to service.
We have world-​class faculty and students from all around the world who come to study here.
And, at least in the business school, at the John Cook School of Business, we have an amazing place to study, meet in groups, and go to class.
I’m deeply grateful for my second degree from a Jesuit University.

Busch Student Center is really a buzzing mecca of students studying everything from Communications to Economics.
I was there today for the Spring Career Fair. I must say SLU really is good to the employers, steaming hot Starbucks was available!
It was a fairly slow afternoon, talked to mostly students seeking internships. Out of the many schools I attend for annual job fairs, SLU does have some of the most professional students.
Only thing that was a little downer, so many employers were crammed in the ball room it was rather HOT!

Went to school here. Its hard to sum up my time there but I enjoyed it. I got a BS in Biology and thought the program was great. As I was there I saw some amazing transformations in the campus. The neighborhood was a little rough and slowly SLU bought up all the land around it and really turned it around. Great school, great campus, great people.
