University of St. Thomas — Attraction in Saint Paul

Currently a junior here at UST double majoring in Operations/ Supply Chain Management and Catholic Studies, and I love it here! I have had great support both with choosing my career path and in my development as a person. The faculty here has helped me realize how I can use my God-given gifts to the best of my ability to better the world.

Thank you St. Thomas bookstore for making the beginning of my masters program extremely stressful, like going back to school isn't already...

We are in a beautiful area of St. Paul and are a seven minute bus ride away from downtown Minneapolis. The Mississippi river is also right down the street and has miles of excellent walking paths and bike paths. I also really love the size of our campus. It’s the perfect, “not too big, not too small” school. I also love the size because of the amazing access it gives you to the faculty. My classes are small and all my professors know my face and name and are always ready to help with anything. The people are great and to top it all off, the campus is insanely beautiful! St. Thomas is an...
