Victoria from Cheshire, CT
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The professors here are incredibly knowledgeable about their subject areas. They are all sociable, and incredibly helpful. I learn more then just what's in the text books.
Am enjoying being here I get homesick a lot still, but that's typical of any freshman. The girl's I live with are great. The school has an awesome First Year Seminar (FYS) program; and I've had the best time hanging out with the girls in my class. There's also a broad expanse of clubs to join. They also run activities that the whole campus to attend.
Bang for the buck St. Joe's is expensive, that's for sure. But, when I put my mind to it and study hard, it translates into my grades. In the end, the money is worth it.
Tips for prospective students Wear flip flops in the shower, get good rain and snow boots, and PARTICIPATE!!!
Great for these types of students Education focused; it's not social-less, but it is a woman's college. They have an amazing education and nursing program, and professors and programs that will make you contenders for jobs in the real world.

Tips for prospective students Get to know each professor, they are there for the student and not scary people. Also use the CAE!!!

Tips for prospective students have experience by taking ap classes before hand, it may take some time to make new friends and find where you fit
Academic Rigor not that hard especially if you've taken a lot of ap or college level classes in high school, labs can get tedious, also depends on what job field you're going in. science majors have a harder work load than an english or history major.

Food and Dining the food's ok, sometimes good, but usually meh
What to do for fun watch movies, go to events, join clubs, play board games, hang out with friends
Bang for the buck a litte pricy, but a lot of students get pretty good scholarships

Great for these types of students kids at heart, but serious about their studies
Clubs and Activities lots of variety
Greek Life none

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The professors challenge you and make students think outside the box. Be ready for hours of studying and prioritizing your time for intense work loads.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy it here because I prioritize my time with an awesome group of friends, nursing classes, work study, and participating in my swim team. The campus is quiet and is nice for study time. When you come here you have to go out and look for fun. Thankfully, every night there are club events.
Bang for the buck Education wise yes, even the meal plan yes, but technology wise there is a gap and sometimes wonder where does the money go?
Tips for prospective students -Go to Saint Joseph's for the academics.
-If you are looking for a party school its not here.
-Need extra help go to the center of academic excellence book a tutoring session in advance.
-Get active on campus by joining a sport team, club, or even attending weekly bingos(free prizes)
-Oh and If you don't know by now, this is an all girl school.Great for these types of students Great for working hard students that are ready and expect intense work load. LOVES a small campus (run from one of the campus to the other in five minutes tops) and LOVES quiet environments. A school that has no distractions NONE unless you make your own.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I got to the CAE once a week and it ensures fantastic grades on all my tests. They are great there and having plenty of times that you can meet with them. The teachers are enthusiastic and want to see you succeed.
Am enjoying being here I'm a commuter and I'll stay a few extra hours in the library because I love to take over a really large table and spread out all my homework and just work. It's a great environment for homework.
Bang for the buck Yes, it's expensive but I got a great financial reward and am definitely getting my money worth by using all the services they offer and attending lots of fun little mini events, meant to help you make friends and take a break from school.
Tips for prospective students Use the CAE!!! It's there for you and free! Remember you need to study. And don't forget all the girls here are super nice, so make sure to talk to people!
Great for these types of students Great for bright girls who really want someone focused on their future.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Every week, each class would introduce new and comprehendable material which is fun and educational. Most classes are discussion based and open to free speech as long as it is on topic. It also teaches you life skills ouside of the classrooms such as work studies and independence from home.
Am enjoying being here Everyone on campus is friendly and polite. You can walk to class and see the dean standing outside greeting students individually as they walk past her. Campus security is all around, giving that sense of comfort knowing that you are safe. There is always an on-campus activity taking place and for those who like being off campus our shuttle runs you to wherever you so desire in the west Hartford/ Hartford area. Being that it is a small campus every staff member gets to know your face and will greet you with a warm smile every time they see you.
Bang for the buck Financial aid provides a generous amount each year to deserving students to lower the cost of living. The financial aid office is open weekdays from 8am- 4:30 pm and they have even more scholarship opportunities posted on the wall for those you need it.
Tips for prospective students For maximum achievement, visit the center for academic excellence and your academic advisor's office at least twice a week. The center for academic excellence because they provide help on any given day for all courses and for most social problems such as time management, best social events on campus, and most importantly how to survive in the real world. Visiting your academic advisor is essential because they are there to help you as much as possible with anything including personal problems. They are paid to do as much as they can for your best benefit.
Great for these types of students If you are more of the interactive learner, this would work out wonderfully for you because a lot of the classes are discussion based and the professors like to hear students speak up more than they like to just stand there lecturing for the entire period of time. Here they provide a better teacher- student rraltionship because it is a small campus so each person is an identity instead of another face in the crowd. If you like

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot You definitely learn a lot. This is a small school, and for the most part, the professors here are interested in helping their students learn the subjects that they teach. They always have office hours or you can send an email and get a response in the same day. Really good college for learning your stuff.
Am enjoying being here I really enjoy this college. It is an all female college though. I have no problem with it. If you have a problem with it go somewhere else. There is a lot to do during the week. A lot of SPEC (Students Programming and Events Council) activities such as Spa Day, bingo, concerts, craft nights and comedians all for free. The weekends are really quiet her but perfect for homework and during the weekends you have to be willing to make your own fun.
Bang for the buck This school is really expensive. Almost forty thousand dollars a year. But they really help with financial aid and the average person pays half that price. I paid $1500 out of pocket for my first semester so there financial aid is definitely helpful.
Tips for prospective students This is a really great college that will prepare you for the work world more than other colleges. There is some work involved though but as long as you go to class and do you assignments you should be fine.
Great for these types of students Socialble, friendly, wellrounded
