While walking to class, there's a good chance that 75{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students you see will be wearing Birkenstocks, a North Face jacket, and jeans from Hollister, American Eagle, or Abercrombie and Fitch. Most students drink at least two or three days a week and when I say drink, I don't mean a beer or two. SLU students know how to party... HARD. Everyone tends to balance their life out pretty well... partying, studying, going to class. meeting new people, extracurriculars.
