St. Louis University

I am currently attending St Louis University. I think that one’s experience depends on what one is studying: my major is philosophy, with a specialization in Medieval philosophy. St Louis University has some excellent professors specializing in that area.

I have a love/​hate relationship with SLU. I came here for undergrad and then returned for a graduate degree. The school runs with great message and tradition of social justice. The faculty are warm and inviting. You get an excellent education. They have a beautiful campus. However, this school can be very pricey and some of the administration’s actions and policies are less than desirable.

I visited the University of St Louis today and I must say I was thouroughly disgusted with the treatment I received while on the premises. I was treted like a second class citizen and truely feel for the people that must deal with this treatment on a daily basis. It made me really appreciate other universities that I have visited where the staff and security guards weren’t all a bunch of «good ol boys.»
To the security guards at DRC: I think George Zimmerman’s neighborhood is looking for a new neighborhood watch supervisor, you would fit right in.

I love this place! Best school ever!!!

Although I tend to be a bit biased, I really do enjoy attending St. Louis University.
My professors are all very interesting and widely range in personality and backgroud (from a 70+ year old, Catholic-​Pacifist-​Veteran-​Father of 8 to a 30ish year old, radical feminist policy writer), which is important to holding my attention span.
My favorite thing about SLU, aside from the great professors, is it’s focus on Social Justice whic h is centered around the Dorr Center of Social Justice. Also, it might be that I’m in a social work program, but in all of my classes we tend to focus a large majority of our time on how to combat social injustice and educate others about the social justice issues of our local, state, country and world communities.
My two big concerns with SLU are: 1. parking is terrible and sometimes very expensive and 2. the price is super high.
