    I love it here! Everyone is so nice and the staff are really wonderful. The teachers actually want to teach each and every student here. They are willing to spare their time to help the students understand, whether homework or other materials. I also love it here because everyone knows everyone. I especially love the clubs here because when you get involved, people start to know you more. Even if you are shy, there are people here who understand, so you can take your time to warm up. I also love it here because there are no boys to bother your studies and etc. I love how this school has an ACTC bus that takes students to different nearby colleges. This is where you can take different classes from other nearby colleges.

    The campus is beautiful. St. Kate is the only campus in the Twin Cities that has a pond. The students are very nice and everyone is very welcoming. The campus is located in the metro area which makes it easier to go shopping or go somewhere to hang out. The Mall of America is just a bus ride away. One of the biggest plus is that St. Kate's is an all women university and with guys it is a lot easier to express yourself.

    St. Kate's has a great campus life. The dorm life is a great balance of social and academic life. The food service always has a good variety. There are student activities throughout the week and on weekends that are entertaining. Most of their activities include free food and prizes given for just showing up! Everyone is very open-minded to others' personalities and beliefs and I've never felt put down because of my viewpoints on any issue. Everyone is open about opinions.
