What kind of person should attend this school?

Kevin

A highly self-motivated student who has a clear plan for their post graduate years. They should also be prepared for an exceptional amount of writing as part of their degree plan.

Marissa

I think anynone could attend this school because there is a niche for everyone. There are a great number of inernational students because Saint Edward's has a lot of partner schools abroad. While sports may not be a big part of campus life, there are fans out there that get together to watch games. All art, biology, international business, education, and psychology majors are welcome. Aside from academic interests, anyone who is outgoing, has good study habits, loves to learn about other cultures, adventerous, and open minded.

The type of person that should attend St. Edward’s is a person open to diversity! Of course being based in Austin, the college is very liberal! The amount of different religions and people are amazing! If you are not into huge colleges and want something more personal, St. Edward’s is it. The campus is small enough that the walking distance is not that bad but big enough for those of us who love to jog. St. Edward’s also provides balance of calmness near neighborhoods but is close enough to venture to the excitement of downtown Austin.
