forget the other reviews...I graduated with an economics degree and minor in finance. I had some ono on one classes with the teachers. they were awesome. I used everything I ever learned and became a multi-million aire and even called my economics professor James Koch 50 years later to thank him. Nothing but good vibes from me. read more

I had a mostly positive experience at St. Edward's University and am grateful for the education I received. However, I also went through a very serious incident that the university failed to address appropriately. While I was in the gym, professor Michael Farrell walked in and said: "I have a complaint. The h*es, b*tches, motherfers, and *n-words* playing music are unacceptable."* I immediately reported this to the school. Instead of taking decisive action, the administration had me meet with a staff member from Belonging, Equity, and Inclusion. She was kind and supportive, but it quickly became clear that the university's priority was for me to process my feelings -- not to hold Mr. Farrell accountable. The administration refused to give me updates on whether he faced consequences, and shockingly, I later saw him return to a campus event I was working at the very same semester. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. It was incredibly disappointing to see such harmful language and behavior treated so lightly. St. Edward's leadership had the chance to show that racism would not be tolerated on campus, but instead, they chose inaction. While I appreciated many parts of my time here, students deserve a university where they can trust that leadership will protect them from blatant racism. read more

This is a great place to go to school and get your education! There is lots of opportunity that will take you a long way. Yes of course as a private school it can be an expensive place but if you're able to get some good financial help then it is def worth the price for your degree. The usually small classes that you register for are staffed with great, smart, knowledgeable and patient professors that love what they are doing. They will take the time to make sure that you understand and learn the information that they are trying to teach you. If you come to this great school, you will not be disappointing. read more

St Edward's University - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have attended 3 different colleges now. This one is by far the worst. I Ended up transferring and dropped a class due to a teacher in which I showed the university the email saying i could still drop it within a window. After 4 months of trying to get this resolved i still can't get my transcript. I have worked with the va office here to get the va to return most of the funds. However, they are holding my transcript hostage so i can't even register for classes at my new college for the summer term. This school is by far such a money grab it's honestly pathetic. The financial aid office doesn't work with you they work against you. I followed what my professor told me was still within and caused my 8 grand of debt. DO NOT GO HERE. There are several better options within the austin area and even down to San Marco. read more

I was very underwhelmed by St. Edward's. For the amount of money it cost to attend you would think the facilities would be newer but sadly they werent. Fortunately I had a generous scholarship but whenever I tried to get anything changed about my living situation or academics they threatened to take that away from me, knowing that I didn't have the finances to attend without it. I requested a change in roommates but was told if they gave me a new roommate they would have to give everyone a new one and all the paperwork was just not worth it. They didn't care when I told them that this individual brought men back from the clubs for sex on school nights and that one night a man stood over me and stared at me while he thought I was sleeping. I felt violated and completely unsafe in what was supposed to be my own home. I asked if I could move out of the dorm. No. You would violate your housing status and lose your scholarship. I decided halfway through the semester that I no longer wanted to take 15 hours a week because the course load on top of being in the Honors Program was crushing me. I asked if I could drop a class that was kicking my but. No. All freshmen are required to take 15 hours and if you drop a class, you will lose your scholarship. I decided I wanted to change my major from Liberal Arts to go in a direction towards medicine instead. I asked if I could declare a change of major. No. You declared a major as an inexperienced freshman entering the Honors Program and if you change now you will lose your scholarship. So basically even though I was paying several thousand dollars a semester, I did not have the right to feel safe in my dorm room, or study the major I wanted to, or try to save my GPA and my sanity by choosing the size of my course load. I quit those losers and told them to shove their precious scholarship halfway through the semester and moved on to ACC who were a dream come true in letting me choose a schedule that let me work when I needed to and study whatever subject I desired. I'm now at Texas State and am experiencing the same casual attitude I enjoyed at ACC, letting me be in charge of my own academic destiny. And honestly, I haven't found any difference in the quality of education between $2,000 a semester at a public school and $9,000 a semester at a private one, so in the long run I'm not only saving myself grief but a lot of $$$ too. read more

I attended St. Eds for two years and got a masters degree from the school of business administration, my concentration was in Organizational Leadership and Ethics. Overall, it was a very good experience. The staff at St. Eds are beyond helpful, they really will go out of their way to help you with any issues, academic, financial, or otherwise. The cost is not small, but for a nighttime professional degree it's pretty reasonable (especially after shopping for law schools :) They do raise tuition every year, so keep that in mind if you're doing a program that takes more than two to complete. The professors varied in experience and expertise. Most had solid work experience, and at least some previous academic experience. Many, but not all had PhDs. The best had many years of both types of experience. I only had one professor in two years who I felt was unqualified to teach in the program, and in general the administration is very open to feedback of that sort. The mission of the school to developing critical thinkers and good writers and speakers was usually reflected in the coursework and class requirements. One shortcoming of my specific program was the inconsistency in student levels. While some of my class took very well to critical thinking and academic rigor, others struggled, lowering the quality of feedback for all. I think as the program expands this issue will decrease. Textbook prices are high, and buybacks infrequent. I usually bought mine used from amazon.com. The only unhelpful staff are usually to be found in the bookstore, so I avoided it. The cafeteria is expensive, crowded, and usually mediocre, but you can find a few healthy, tasty options. The coffee house is good, but slow. The classrooms lack floor outlets for your laptop (even in the newer buildings) so bring a long cord to class if you need to charge up. There were a great many free perks available to students. Language groups, writing seminars and tutoring, social events, career lectures, public speakers, computer classes, and much more. I wish I had taken advantage of more of them while I was there. If you want a business degree with a reasonable amount of traditional academic rigor, I highly recommend St. Edward's programs. For me, it was time and money well spent. read more

As a working single mom I managed to get my BA (New College Org. Comm) and my MS (MSOLE) degree at St. Edward's (Alum 2003 & 2006). Outside of the "take my first & only born child" in student loans- my experiences with St. Edward's over 6.5 years was phenomenal. I love how this school doesn't take part in the "student is a number". Although there are some professors who are a little "unique" I didn't encounter one that made me feel like I was in a degree factory or on a political ladder of grades which would make or break my future success. I especially loved their focus on critical thinking, leadership, and communication as a whole. I felt human, appreciated, and that I truly was getting a very valuable education. read more

I'm just finishing up a Master's program at St. Ed's (MLA) and I have to say it has been a phenomenal experience. It is pricey, but worth it for the small classes and personal touch from the administration and faculty. Quite the opposite from the large state university I got my Bachelor's at, which couldn't have cared less who I was or what I was doing. The MLA program is totally geared toward working students, which is wonderful. They know you have a job, and maybe a family, so you won't always be able to get to class or be on time. You don't get punished for having a life (provided you still do the work), which is wonderful. It's been fantastic and I will miss St. Edward's when I graduate next month! read more

I graduated from St. Ed's in 2008 with a Bachelors degree in marketing and a liberal arts minor in philosophy. My time at St. Ed's was invaluable. I am not a religious person but I took classes with teachers like Kelly Coblentz Bautch, and Edward Shirley that opened my mind to the sociological impact of religion in our world and taught me how to appreciate the beauty of faith. Campus life is fairly righteous as well. There is always a school sponsored function happening that offers free food and t-shirts. I lived in one of the older dorms, Teresa Hall, and I was surprisingly comfortable. It was a coed dorm which made for interesting socialization. I also lived in the on campus apartments which was awesome! A short walk to class everyday, spacious accommodations and well maintained public usage spaces made those apartments most enjoyable. I highly recommend them but sign up early because they are in high demand. I cannot comment on the state of the cafeteria since I have not been there in a while and that sort of thing is often subject to change. I cannot comment on the state of the RCC (gym) either because I am fat and lazy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TL:DR summary Beautiful campus, mind broadening course study, comfortable accommodations and personable professors make St. Ed's great. If I could change anything about my time there I would change nothing. read more

It's not very often that a Police Department receives positive feedback for the work that they do to serve their communities, so I thought it was time to break the mold. Every time I speak with one of the professionals at this department, it is obvious that they have a common goal in mind - customer service. This level of service is consistent throughout the University, and it is reflected in every member of the Police Department. Keep up the good work, folks, and stay safe out there. read more

St Edward's University - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Austin, Texas

I am currently in my last year of undergraduate studies and I must say that I love St. Edward's. The classes are very small, therefore enabling each student to receive adequate attention from all their professors. I've never had a problem with any of the faculty and all my professors have been available whenever I needed them. Most of the newer academic facilities are pretty nice. The older buildings could have some work done to them, but the university is making plans to renovate. The library leaves a lot to be desired but I still always head there to get my homework and bigger assignments completed. The undergraduate population is pretty close-knit in that you can get to know everyone on a first-name basis. Many students get involved with student organizations and work in the local community. All and all, the school is great. It may be expensive, but the school hands out tons of financial aid. I suggest it to anyone. read more

I earned a B.A. in English Literature at St. Edward's and continue to cherish my time there. I was adequately challenged academically, developed an overwhelming appreciation for literature, and, to quote the SEU Mission Statement, also had the privilege of understanding and exploring my "obligation...to pursue a more just world." Though the tuition is higher than some public schools in Texas, annually, it's $10,000 less than UCLA and about $20,000 less than most private liberal arts schools. At St. Ed's, small class size allows your classmates to enrich your experience through discussion, and you develop personal relationships with professors, all of whom, in my experience, possess a wealth of knowledge and passion for their subject matter. Additionally, every student I encountered was highly motivated for the sake of learning, not for for monetary reasons. Academically, this school is exponentially superior to huge universities like UT, Austin. I cannot say enough good things about St. Ed's. Currently, I attend a graduate program at a public university in California. I can honestly say I am the most prepared student in all of my classes because of everything I gained at SEU. The work in grad school is less rigorous than my undergrad program at St. Ed's, and I've spoken to many former classmates who feel similarly about about being superbly prepared for their post-grad experiences. Thank you, St. Edward's! read more

I love the small class sizes. I also find UT a little obnoxious. As a commuter student living off campus, sted-wards suited me just fine. The Graphic Design program is still fairly new and needs some work. It felt as if you already needed the background and personal style to really evolve. Some that didn't just got left behind. The arts program was wonderful when you found your specialization. read more

The education you receive here is like no other in the area. Such great programs and opportunities. Worth every penny! Only downfall is that I wish there were more older students in the undergraduate programs. read more

This place if pretty. I have trained Parkour here several times and the place just keeps getting prettier and prettier. They even got a whole bunch of new buildings now. I have a friend that goes to this university. A bit of hipster and always tells me exactly how he feels about everything and he thinks the place is pretty decent. He is getting a degree is business music. I don't know how many universities have a degree in business music, but it seems like not many. Especially if its a private college. I heard really good things about campus ministry on campus as well. I just went to a veterans meeting and there were 3 out of the 7 staff present of a very small welcome meeting, so that says a lot about the university. Also, it was his 3rd event that day. Seems like there is always a lot of things going on on campus and if you get with the right people even more things. Oh and each year they have a theater garage sale, where they sell off a bunch of the costumes and things, which is pretty fun. I got a wizard robe and now wear it for my house robe...so much win. So, I dont like the parking situation and its really hard to get around on campus, not a lot of signs saying, if you are a visitor to do this, or to do that, so beware of getting a ticket on campus. I got to visit their computer labs as well, and they are always getting new computer stuff, pretty nice in my opinion. read more

Oh man. I can review my college education?! Great - let me tell you right now to listen to your inner voice when it says "transfer...transferrr...transferrrrrr". First off, I decided on St. Ed's when I was a freshman in HS because of the funny "learn to think" commercials. I should have known better than to attend a university for the commercial..I should have transferred to UT after my freshman year since I got in, but I was honestly too scared of the size. I'll start off with the good things, then tell the bad. GOOD - Me and another student worked together to develop a committee that created the first ever official St. Edward's class ring- that's pretty bad ass :) - The best thing about Steds is the class sizes. In my psychology & communication classes, I never had more than 25 students in one class (except for Freshman studies which had like 100ish) - You get to create a really cool & unique relationship with your professors. I would compare my relationships with profs to the relationships I have with my parents friends if that makes sense. - The school just got a great donation & built a completely new library and it is beautiful. In fact, under President Martin, every building on campus has been built or updated within the past 12 years. (But that does NOT mean all the facilities are nice...they're getting there though) - All the dorms but two are REALLY nice...better than any public dorm you'll ever see. I lived in Dujarie and all my friends that came to visit were crazy jealous. - The cafeteria is AWESOME! They have really great gluten-free and vegan options and I even met with the I guess "chef manager?" and he explained to me everything I could and couldn't eat and they label every option as g-free or vegan or dairy free for students to see. They also really focus on getting food from local vendors. (You PAY out the BUTT for this, though. And meal plan does not roll over year to year and as a freshman you have to have at least a $1,600 meal plan each semester and at least a $110 meal plan each semester for commuters) THE BAD - I started and tuition was $12,000 a semester. I got a good amount of scholarships, so I worked with my parents and we said OK, we can make this work. NO ONE TOLD ME TUITION WAS GOING TO RISE 8.5% OR ABOUT $3,000 EVERY YEAR!!!! And don't worry, it will continue to rise. This made me so incredibly mad and completely screwed over the financial plan I had set for myself. When I went to my financial adviser & asked how I could get more scholarships, she literally told me to go to scholarships.com LIKE IS THAT A JOKE?! I joined Student Government with the determined mind set of looking into a tuition freeze so you could start at a set amount (which tuition was $16,600 as of Fall 2013) I met with the Dir. of Student Retention at the time and he had the same goals as me & wanted to work with me. I talked to someone in the President's office after I had done more research (I can't remember who now) but they told me not to waste my time and completely shot me down. The worst part about tuition rising, is since this is a private institution, there is NO TRANSPARENCY! So you really have no idea where your money is going...which for someone who wanted to make change on campus, this was hard to deal with. - In Fall 2012 administration decided all of the sudden to GET RID OF DECEMBER & SUMMER GRADUATION!! (Admin likes to make big changes without warning anyone). The involved student that I was, I decided to host a public forum because students were pissed! (As was I since I was going to be a Dec. graduate). The Provost said she wouldn't be able to attend (she was afraid to hear student opinions and students were rioting) but actually decided to come! At the forum, she explained there were NO OTHER venues in Austin that December graduation would fit in that has tiered seating - LIE! She then said "in four years the new round of students won't even know we had a December graduation" THAT WAS THE EXACT MOMENT I KNEW I WAS OVER ST. ED'S & SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE DONE. Unfortunately I ran for Student Government President, lost in a close race & didn't get to fulfill my big plans (wahhh). In the end, having one ceremony in the Spring was absolutely freaking miserable. Over 3 hours. So, so bad. - St. Ed's has no greek life. I would have liked to be in a sorority, but the hipsters would never let that happen on campus..so if you want to do that stuff, go across the river to UT. - Also, the girl to guy ratio is like 65:35...in my psych classes we were LUCKY if there was one guy in our class. I'm not boy hungry, but it really takes away from the diversity & classroom experience. - This also is not a research university. The professors teach & that is all they do...if you are looking to do research along with a prof and get it published and do big ol things, go across the river to UT. I'm out of characters so that's all for now - message me for more info :) read more

I loved SEU! I went there as an undergrad student and I am currently getting my MBA through their night program. It is expensive but I think it is well worth it. I do much better in smaller classroom settings as opposed to 300+ students in a auditorium (I went to SWT so a semester and hated it). As an undergraduate prepare to do a lot of group projects and public speaking. Both are things I don't like but being forced to do them helped me with my career and my current MBA studies. Also, as an undergrad at SEU understand that most of these kids parents have a few bucks so there are spoiled rich kids however they are very nice. Not like the typical rich kid, "Greek" scene like other schools. I made some of my best friends at SEU. I have enjoyed my MBA experience immensely! The teachers are prepared and qualified to teach at a high level. The classes are mostly writing based so prepare to your a lot of papers (not really multiple choice tests). Also, I am floored at how knowledgeable my classmates and teachers are. Everyone is up-to-date on current events and history so class discussions are interesting and interactive. The financial aid office is helpful, the campus is clean, the teachers are knowledgeable and the experience is memorable. read more

Part of the St. Edwards experience is eating at their many food establishments. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I eat at the Ragsdale Center. Being an "older" student, I watch what I eat. I usually walk around and take a look at everything before I choose. The top no no for me is "bad" carbs. So I usually look for a good size portion of veggies and a generous serving of protein. It is not often that I am giddy over a meal. I have eaten at some of Austin's nicer restaurants and I have occasionally come away unimpressed. I am not an expert. I have no culinary training. However, I do know a "great" meal when I taste it and I believe a "great" meal should be recognized. The entree station was serving slow roasted pork loin with a chipotle honey cream sauce, greens and stuffing. First of all, any time I see "slow roasted" it gets my attention. Second, spicy food is at the top of my list, add sweet to it and you're my new best friend. Last, I looove my greens! I grew up in South Carolina with all kinds of greens served at home. I was stunned that there was no one in line. I can only assume that the younger college crowd has not yet learned to apprieciate the skills required to slow roast meat and they probably wrinkle their noses at the thought of greens. I picked up my plate and headed to a table. I tried the greens first. So often greens are over cooked and mushy. This selection was PERFECTLY cooked, tender with the right amount of crispness. I was grinning by this point, a very good sign. On to the pork. I had noticed that the chef sliced the pork from the center of the loin and I greatly appreciate that fact. I was rewarded with meat so tender I could cut it with my fork. The sauce was INCREDIBLE and the perfect match for the pork. Spicy enough to get my attention followed by a not too sweet hint of honey. The fact that I could tell it was honey but it was not overwhelming was impressive enough, but delivered in a creamy sauce, it could not get any better. I honestly was not expecting much from the stuffing. Oh how wrong I was. It had the consistency of really good bread pudding, but with the savory flavors you would expect from stuffing. The effect of the honey sweetness of the sauce for the pork, followed by a bite of stuffing, led to a subtle desert like quality that almost made me drop my fork. I am sure anyone dining nearby was concerned by all the faces I was making. This meal was by far the best I have had in a long while.....and I enjoyed it at a school cafeteria. So I did something I rarely do, I went up and thanked the Chef. Feeling that was not adequate to express my gratitude, I decided to write a review on Yelp so that everyone would know the talent that resides in Ragsdale's kitchen. I am completely serious when I say, this meal could win awards. read more

Excellent university and academic programs offering greater opportunities for involvement in many different aspects such as internships, research, study abroad and knowing your professors. The connections between programs and businesses in Austin are phenomenal! Their November pitch opportunity for students studying entrepreneurship is very impactful!! The number of sports teams provides for good student involvement and pride. It is an education well worth it. I've also seen the benefits of very generous programs for migrant, low income, high achieving and international students. read more

I've graduated twice from St. Edward's and spent most of my life in higher education so I really have nothing but good things to say about this university. I actually spent quite a few years working at UT before I ever attended school as a student. The first time I ever visited the SEU campus, I was amazed by how different the environment was. They actually have staff and faculty who enjoy going to work in the morning, something unheard of at UT at the time. The faculty were supportive and even today, many years after graduation I can still count on them for advice and recommendations. The class sizes were always really small and convenient. The faculty are really devoted to teaching there. The price is steep but there is financial aid for those with minimal income. At the time, I had very little income coming in (UT employee and all). I never went a semester without a scholarship or grant. The financial office was always finding new sources and the VA officer helped me with my military tuition assistance. The alumni office also used to have a lot of fun events every month although there hasn't been much going on lately that I have been able to find out about. Hopefully, that picks up again soon. The campus is also getting much more crowded than when I was a student but it seems to be manageable growth. The other advantage when I was an undergrad is that they were really good at taking alternative credits. I took a ton of placement tests and basically tested out of my first two years of college. No other schools around would even come close to that, and it really cut my cost of attendance down quite a bit. I also like that they are quite stable in their national rankings. They certainly aren't as high as I would like but they are doing better than most universities in the area (except UT and A&M of course). I recently moved back to the neighborhood to take a faculty job at another university in town so I had a chance to go back onto campus. I needed to order transcripts and was pleased to see that they were still free. That was actually one of the things I really liked when I was a student there and I hope it hasn't changed: The tuition was more than UT, but that was the only thing you had to pay (except for a parking permit). UT will nickel and dime you to death with fees for everything conceivable. At SEU, all you paid was the advertised tuition and everything else was included. Most of the negative reviews I am reading here seem to be from some pretty highly emotional and immature types. As a professor for ten years at other universities I do see these a lot. If you are not ready to be a university student, please don't blame the university. Take some time off to work and come back to school when you are ready for it. I didn't start school until I was 23 and out of the military and it made a world of difference to come into it with a bit of added maturity. I don't think I ever would have made it through if I started college as an 18 year-old. read more

Let me make a suggestion for a cheap date in Austin. Consider a picnic here with your hunny-bunny. St. Ed's has this hill that overlooks downtown. The view is incredible. Just bring a blanket and some food (even simple take-out is enhanced by a great view) and sit on that hill. Enjoy! read more

I just finished my second semester at St. Edward's New College and love it! The classes are small and the teachers, advisers and staff actually care. I am getting so much more out of this program than I did in College as a teen. I hope they add the Psy D program I have heard rumored to be in the works so I can continue at the small and supportive environment! read more

Of course this review is going to be biased since I am a graduate of St. Edward's, but it truly is a great place to receive an education. Transferred from Texas Tech and the smaller school and classrooms was a perfect fit. The teachers all know you by first name which is almost unheard of at the larger universities. Not only that, most give you home and cell numbers to reach them if you have any questions, etc. Where else can you get that?? Recommend the Communication department especially. Beautiful campus!! read more

As a visitor it was frustrating to find there was no visitor parking close to the rec center. We had to call the rec center to tell us that visitor parking was pretty far away and to ignore the restricted parking sign. Does not make we want to come back as a visitor. read more

I am a lucky grad of SEU and have to say my experience there was superb. Having attended a large state school prior to enrolling at SEU in the 90's, I realized that I preferred the high level of accountability and small class structure offered there. St. Edward's forced me to expand my world view, taught me how to analyze and solve complex moral and ethical dilemmas which gave me the strong foundation I needed to become a productive and concerned citizen of the world. All my professors were dedicated and passionate about their subjects and were amazingly encouraging in helping me find my way in the world. I would never trade my experience there for anything and am forever grateful for their guidance and enlightenment. Go Hilltoppers!!! read more

Couldn't be more proud to be a Hilltopper. I've been attending St Eds for a couple years now and I love the education that I'm getting. As a Digital Media Management major, they have one of the most unique programs of its kind and all of my professors have been great. I love that the class sizes are smaller, which is one of the reasons I chose here over UT-Austin. I feel like I have a better connection with professors and my classmates. They also have a strong focus on Global Perspective and really encourage students to study abroad through their network around the world. I studied in Angers, France at our sister campus at the Universite Catholique De L'Ouest and had and unforgettable experience. Although its a little pricey, I highly recommend this school. read more

This school works for me because it is small and I can walk to classes in 15 minutes. The classes are small which calls for intimate conversation, discussion, and participation, which can affect grades even. Freshman year, I really loathed the school because I ran into lots of pretentious kids, however now that I live off campus(which I advise to do, ASAP) I really see the beauty in the school. Sure living on campus is convenient, but its depressing to be here 24/7. School spirit isn't huge and the events are silly but cute, however we live in Austin so go to a UT football game to get a feel of the cult like school spirit. Also, there are plenty of things to do in this city. I love this school and it gives me everything I want and need. read more

This school costs more than almost every other school in the state of Texas, which is why I am so surprised how hard everything is. I have been trying to get enrolled for almost 3 months with no luck. There are no people that work in admissions regularly. I have yet to make contact with a person on phone, and 80% of emails and online requests are never answered. Even when I requested an Admissions packet online, nothing ever came and when I called about it two times, no one did anything. The application process is documented in three places with different steps on the web site, and my experience has been different than those 3 processes. I signed up for a Transfer day with an admissions counselor. When I showed up there was no one at the documented location. After calling for 3 days someone told me they moved the event one hour before it started. I have had to give up on trying to attend St. Edwards. If this is how I am treated trying to apply to the school, I don't want to deal with this level of assistance if I have to attend the school. read more

have you ever seen clerks? "this [school] would be great if it weren't for the fucking [students.]" yep. read more

Everything about this school is fantastic except for one thing and that is the price. Yes, the instructors are great and you will learn allot. The south campus is much better then the north campus. Also, it would help if there was a little bit more flexibililty on times for the graduate programs. I took two semesters there for the MBA program and there is allot of student involvement as well. In addition, I have never seen a better turnout for a job fair in my entire life and I have been to many. The gym was packed with employers. Great school but very expensive. read more

OMG Becca may, the front desk worker for residence life, is such a helper. She fixed my glasses.

Simply put, the most beautiful and fantastic university around. One of the best decisions I ever made!
