Reviewer is Accepted here and planning to attend soon. Reviewer has not been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot I started the orientation that St. Leo offers for upcoming students, and just from the orientation I have learned so much about myself. In addition, I have discovered truly what a degree should mean and the statement I can make once I achieve it.
Will enjoy being here Anyone that is willing to work hard, will love it here at St. Leo. St. Leo is not a school whether online or on campus, that encourages procrastination and laziness. It functions to provide you with the best possible education that you need, if you work hard and want it.
Tips for prospective students St. Leo is a promising University. However, if you are not taking your education seriously, then St. Leo is not for you. You will have to do the work, and they make it clear that St. Leo doesn't make earning your degree easy.
Great for these types of students Students that believe in integrity, respect, discipline, and hard work. Students that believe nothing comes easy. Students that have the willingness to strive and a desire to learn.

Jessyca from Tampa, FL
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Classes are very small and is in your best interest because you learn SO much more. The professors know you by name and not by just a number like bigger colleges. I learn something new in every class that I take.
Am enjoying being here There's always something going on at Saint Leo. Get involved in school, go greek, or just make new friends walking around the beautiful campus! I enjoy being at Saint Leo and the people around me everyday. Everyone is so nice and down to earth. People are always there to help no matter what.
Bang for the buck It is pricy to go to school here, but it is totally worth it in the end. I am majoring in Elementary Education and the advisors in Education are wonderful! I have heard such great things about the graduate program that I get to look forward to. Getting an amazing education will benefit everyone in the end no matter what the cost is. You can't put a cost on education.
Tips for prospective students I would have to say that tips for prospective students from my personal experiences at Saint Leo is to get involved as soon as possible. This way you meet people and start to network with important people for the future!
Great for these types of students Students who want to learn, don't mind working hard in order to get the job they would like to pursue, having responsibility, good time-management skills in order to balance life, attending all classes, getting good grades.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot With the small class sizes and the amazing Advisers and Professors; I am glad to be attending this University.
Am enjoying being here With the Campus Activities Board (CAB), there is so much to do on campus, along with a lot of different clubs and organizations to be apart of!
Bang for the buck Though the tuition is quite high, you also have to remember it is a private university. The amount that you get in return out-weighs the price!

Amanda from Lakeland, FL
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I am a Professional Writing major with a minor in Psychology. I have always enjoyed writing, and the English department is phenomenal. I not only have learning how to write professionally, but creatively as well. I became inspired with writing through poetry, and because of the fantastic faculty on campus, I now know how to write short stories, prose, creative non-fiction, and plays. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and I couldn't be happier!
Am enjoying being here The campus is beautiful and ever-expanding. With a view of Lake Jovita, a grassy field in the middle of campus, and a courtyard dedicated to the men and women servicing our country, this campus has personality. Walking around I always see people with a smile on their face and I can't help but smile back!
Bang for the buck The tuition includes a laptop, which is the most important tool I've ever needed as a college student!
Tips for prospective students Always find an upperclassman in your major. We pay money to become smart - we are always looking for someone to mentor and share our information! If you need help, don't be afraid to ask someone, especially a professor. The professors here know you by name; it's a very personable atmosphere.
Great for these types of students Saint Leo has a focused ROTC program, so any students interested in the military would be a great asset. The business program is ever expanding; we just got a new building on our campus, with marbled floors and modern architecture, donated by an alumni. Students interested in Psychology will find professors always eager to teach their subjects and teach them well; also opportunities to do your own research. The English department is creative, and students interested in this department will learn how to analyze, and correctly write in the MLA format.

Ebony from Margate, FL
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The class sizes are small so it's easy to ask questions and receive a good detailed answer. Most of the professors are excellent at their jobs and care about your success. I am in the honors program and, although the classes that I'm taking do not relate to my major, I'm learning and improving skills that I use in my other classes.
Am enjoying being here The campus is small and secluded, so if you want to leave campus you will need a car. However, there is almost always an activity, such as sporting events, mini carnivals, barbecues, bingo etc., happening on campus that students are welcome to participate in. There are a few fraternities and sororities on campus. Clubs and organizations are not scarce. On top of that, I love the people that I'm meeting here.
Bang for the buck The tuition is somewhat expensive, but it is worth it for the opportunities that the school offers its students. Many internships are offered. The education you will receive here is priceless.
Tips for prospective students Keep your grades up. Never fall behind in your classes because the work will pile up. Join clubs ASAP.
Great for these types of students Students who want small class sizes and value a quality education.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Saint Leo University Weekend and Evening Program is unorganized and feel like it still under development. The program does not have or enough experience teachers teaching the class. Some are good at time management under the short time, but others stress out on the short time and do not properly present the information.
Tips for prospective students I would stay away from the Weekend and Evening Program. I thought when I was first coming into this program that it has been in the school for many years, but it only been running for about three to four years. Every time I was looking at my schedule I found that they did not have the course I needed and this is due to the lack of teachers available.
Academic Rigor It is hard to tell because I had one teacher who was strict, but that was because they were stressing out about the time and what they had to get through. Others teachers have just brush it off of if we do not get to it then that is to bad.
What to do for fun I go on the weekend I do not have much information about what goes on at the campus. If there is something going on, I am most likely heading to class.
Bang for the buck There are some good teacher that are interest in what they teach and want to give out the information, then others not as passionate. I had one teacher that assign the class to read the chapters then come to class and that is what they did in class to us. I only felt one teacher out of five give me a bang for my buck.
Great for these types of students The program, if it is setup, is great for students having to work on weekdays and can not go to school. Those students who want to get through school a little faster it is great for that, but be prepared to mostly teach yourself.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Saint Leo University is an amazing college to attend, you feel like you're right at home because everyone is very friendly. From 1 to 10 I would give Saint Leo a 10, the campus is beautiful, and faculty is ready to help you at any time. You will love the person you will become here.
Tips for prospective students Ask for help when if you're lost, people won't look at you weird. And the library that will be your best friend especially during exams, love that place!
Academic Rigor Classes are amazing and they have no more than 30 people in a classroom which is amazing because you get to have that 101 with your professor. They love for students to ask questions!
Dorm Life I loved my freshmen year I met amazing people who have impacted my life tremendously. The walk to Snyder is amazing especially one of those days when you wake up and be alone.
Food and Dining The cafeteria has like 10 different food bars and you get to choose from a large variety. Also we have the lions lair which is like a convenient store and they have like starbucks, like a small surpermarket.
What to do for fun There's a lot of things going on campus, we have CAB which is an organization that plans trips to Disney, universal, bush gardens, sea world, etc.. For only $5!!! That's a huge plus! And trips to the movies for FREE!! Favorite word as a college student. There's always something going on around campus. Grab a friend and go on an adventure around the city of Dade city! Small but beautiful!
Greek Life We have 4 sororities and 6 fraternities.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Teacher in Saint Leo University will help student reach their dreams. Students with all the help that saint Leo provides the students will be successful in life.
Tips for prospective students If students are struggling in a subject, they should get help from their teacher. This can be accomplish bu going to their office hours. if this does not work they should find tutoring by their peers and if this does not work they should start to join a study group so they can get help from the student in the same class.
Academic Rigor I have no opinion.
Dorm Life When students move to the dorm they will meet people from around the world. they will learn personal development. when they meet different people they will start to respect, excellence, and especially they will learn how to build a community.
Food and Dining The dinning at Saint Leo University is OK. they have different kinds of food like salads, veggie section, Chinese food, french fries pizza and more.
What to do for fun The school do lots of trips to different places like Disney World, Sea World, Movies, Bush Garden. Students in Saint Leo have a lot of opportunities to have fun through the school year.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Saint Leo University exemplifies core values and emphasizes integrity, community, and spirit. Instructors are real-world professionals and peers are like-minded adult professionals, all with a desire to contribute to the learning process. I am honored to be studying at such a professional university.
Tips for prospective students The best thing to do is be yourself and never be afraid to ask a question. Instructors are fair, and every single person at the school is concerned for and genuinely cares about your success.
Academic Rigor Living in Idaho and attending a University in Florida was not a hard choice. The website offers links to every part of campus life, and students enrolled in the online classes are still invited to seminars, organizations, and are both involved as well as excited to participate! I have always felt part of the student community, and have made many new friends!
Dorm Life I have never heard a bad dorm story, therefore, I rate it a 5 star experience.
Food and Dining Students have access to multiple dining opportunities while on campus, I am sure they all make their own decisions and form their own opinions!
What to do for fun Study, volunteer, and plan for the future!
Saint Leo has many clubs students can participate in, as well as youth ministry and opportunities to participate in outside volunteer and community programs.Bang for the buck As far as the cost of being able to do my schoolwork after I get home from work; the cost is more than fair! There is a certain dynamic involved in communicating online with peers from around the world. Learning real-world applications from other cultures really has no monetary value, it is just one of the many extra hidden bonuses at Saint Leo. Teachers are all professionals, and are more than qualified, they are the best of the best.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Core values are also exemplified by philanthropy, and for my birthday Saint Leo made a donation to the organization of my choice. I chose the Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee!
Great for these types of students Saint Leo is perfect for working adults who wish to return to school after a long break. It also caters heavily to the military professional, as most of my peers are service men and women. The knowledge you gain from them can never be learned in any book.
Clubs and Activities Saint Leo offers a wide range of activities.
Greek Life Many organizations are available to pledge, including the National Honors Society as well as many Greek houses on campus.
Campus Safety I would rate this above 5 stars, as every person there is there for an education. Teachers and students are all like-minded, and if campus security is an issue, then students and teachers alike will assist security in a resolution.

Jessica from Land O Lakes, FL

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Saint Leo University has provided the most fun I have ever had in my life, but, unfortunately, it failed in providing me with any sort of education. I met some of the most amazing, yet stupid and uneducated, people I have ever met and I had many wonderful experiences with them, however I learned next to nothing. This is not a school; it is a four year long party.
Tips for prospective students Find another school that doesn't base its admissions on the amount of money you're willing to waste on a worthless education.
Academic Rigor I have been attending this school for almost two years and I have had approximately five assignments that required more that thirty minutes to complete. There are some teachers who teach actual college courses, as opposed to silly and worthless high school classes, but they are few and far between
Dorm Life Livng in the dorms at Saint Leo can be an exciting opportunity if you know the right people and do enough drugs. The only things to do on campus are watch teleivision, smoke marijuana, and drink a lot af alcohol. Sadly, there aren't even many homework assignments that could pass the time.
Food and Dining The provided on campus is not bad at first, but eventually it is sickening. The cafeteria is buffet style, but it is usually tasteless and boring.
What to do for fun There is nothing to do at this school. Literally nothing. The dorm I live in has televisions and a pool table with one broken pool stick. There are more fun opportunities for people interested in athletics, but I am not one of those people.
Bang for the buck Tuition at Saint Leo is over $18,000 a year for a lousy education and hardly any entertainment opportunities.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus As Saint Leo is a catholic university, there are nuns and monks on campus. They are fairly interesting, but remain mostly unseen.
Great for these types of students Saint Leo is great for studens with horrible SAT scores whose parents have a lot of money to waste on a school named after a Saint, giving it the illusion of being a reputable establishment.
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs, but few are meaningful.
Greek Life Greek Life, while one of the best opportunities the school has to offer, is still far worse than anywhere else you could imagine. The first problem is that there is no Greek housing... I always thought that was one of the biggest perks of Greek life. The standards for Greek organizations, like most of Saint Leo standards, are far below par.
Campus Safety During the two years I have been at Saint Leo, the only crimes on campus have been drug dealing and under age drinking. The only thing campus security has to do is check for parking permits and make sure the drunk teens don't need medical attention.
