Saint Vincent College is a small liberal arts school located in Latrobe Pennsylvania. The school is largely centered around its Catholic traditions. There is a monastery on campus and it is nice to meet the clergy and have conversations with them. Additionally the faculty is helpful and generally work to ensure that their students perform well. Unfortunately that is where the schools positive aspects end. Outside of academics, there are clubs to join but very few are non-academic, and provide limited social experiences. The campus is out of walking distance, meaning that in order to get off campus one must have a car or know someone with one. Additionally the school has a strict no party rule. Large social gatherings are largely frowned upon, and infractions of the rules have serious consequences. Over all the residence life staff act as cops, and look to start issues with the residents. As a result the on campus experience is overall negative. As a result I cannot recommend this school for most students. This school is a good fit for those only interested in their faith, and a generally caring academic staff. If one is interested in enjoying themselves on the weekends this school is not a good place.
Saint Vincent College was my second choice as to where to attend. Ultimately, my decision was based on which of the two schools I had applied to gave me more financial aid. Initially I was not a very big fan of Saint Vincent. A good portion of the students don't seem to be very engaged in their education. Rather, they're just there to check boxes and get a degree. The professors, while generally great, are predominantly conservative. While this doesn't generally affect classes or discussion, I have heard that the hiring of new professors is directly affected by their political views which I find highly problematic. There is also clear favoritism for certain departments at the school. The Math and Sciences departments have a beautiful building which has just been added onto with a cadaver lab. The humanities on the other hand have a few floors in one of the older buildings and the English department is currently understaffed and there has been talk of the school not hiring a new English professor after a previous professor retired. Anyway, I still enjoy the education and have encountered more eclectic groups of students on campus. So it's not all bad.
It is a beautiful small campus in Pa. The people are very welcoming. It felt like home from the start. The small class sizes ensure that all students get the direction and special attention to achieve. The dorms are some of the largest I had visited with plenty of space for both you and your roommate.
Saint Vincent College is a very friendly campus in my opinion. Almost everyone talks or smiles at me when they see me. The food is good on most days though there are sometimes at the Shack where the food sucks but it is usually because it is really crowded. There is not many places to go off campus unless you have a car. The people on campus do plan a lot of different things to do during the week like bingo, movie night, wing night, etc..
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Saint Vincent College is 65%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

Some are racists conservatives
I don't really have anything I consider to be really bad about my school. Sometimes I miss some good home cooking and my own bathroom but that isn't anything too significant.
Small, catholic school that is very tight-knit.
The McKenna school of business and small class sizes.
The most frustrating thing about st. vincent is scheduling for classes. Its hard when you need a class and it is not offered or when all the classes you are trying to take or need are at the same time. Just remember to make a few back up schedules and be prepared to get classes you don't want. As long as you make it through the first tw years you'll be fine. The more credits you have the earlier you get to schedule.
The values and beliefs the people in it hold and the freedom to express those beliefs as well as the warm acceptance of them.
This school has a very strong sense of community. Saint Vincent College has a small-town feel that creates a comfortable and open atmosphere to make it feel like home for many students. The school also concentrates on preparing students for their prospective careers and fosters an understanding for the real world's expectations of college graduates.
A Christian who is willing to work hard, and stay active within in the school.
Since coming to Saint Vincent, I believe I have grown a great deal spiritually. I have met some of the best friends I will ever know and hope to have them as friends for a life time. The academic expectancies are significant, but as a result, I believe I will be well prepared once I leave this college. My professors are knowledgeable and excel in their fields. They are very approachable. I have been on one mission trip to China and I hope to go on another one. My experience has been very positive.
I wish I would have known more about the advisors and scheduling. Right now, we're in the process of expanding which can make it stressful when it comes to scheduling and finish all the requirements on time for graduation.
