Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Although name recognition grows each year, SLU is hidden gem in the world of higher education. With a well-respected academic reputation, a vibrant student life, and a strong community, SLU offers students hundreds of options that all equate to one outcome—an amazing college experience. After four years at SLU, students leave as well-rounded "men and women for others" prepared to embark on the first years of their post-college adult lives. SLU will not just prepare you for a job. The faculty and staff will challenge you to develop your personality, faith, and knowledge so that you have the tools for success in every realm of life. Whether SLU students choose graduate school, volunteer work, or employment, the vast majority of students are happy with their placement after graduation.

Students tend to say they knew SLU was their school when they visited campus. Spend a few hours here, and you'll be impressed by the landscaping and architecture, excited about the academic and extracurricular options, enticed by city living, and in love with the SLU community. SLU is a university dedicated to service and educating the whole person, and students leave savoring the experience and wishing it would never end.

Pricey Parking

If you need a place to park SLU has many options throughout campus. However, they charge quite a bit for parking passes. I only had to pay $50 for a year-round pass at my undergrad school, but now it looks like I'll be paying $440 a year for a commuter pass. Crazy.

Gotta Love Basketball

The biggest sport at SLU is definitely basketball. If you are interested in supporting another team, you can, but most of the athletic department is geared toward the men's basketball team. Athletic opportunities for the average student are pretty good though with intramurals and exercise facilities.

Comfortable

The dorms at SLU are comfortable and spacious. They aren't too big and they aren't too small. There is a lot of room for certain accommodations, and you and a roommate will never be too cramped.
