University of St Thomas-Saint Paul Top Questions

St. Thomas, as a private Catholic college, has a reputation for being a little conservative. However, I have friends who are everything from bisexual atheists to conservative seminarians, and we all love St. Thomas. There is an Allies organization and College Democrats, and there's also a Pro-Life vigil and College Republicans. We're honestly like any other college...you can find whatever people or activities suit your personality :)

It may be suprising, but UST has a diverse student population. Not every student is Catholic, and there are people with all fatih lives and levels of faithfullness. Many St. Thomas students are from the Twin Cities area, but we have students from many different areas of the country and the world represented as well.

Our diverse student body means there are always opportunities to learn about other backgrounds and cultures. We have students from five minutes away and from other countries. Although interaction between different groups of students is never forced, it seems to happen naturally for most people.

About half of the students at UST are Catholic, and most come from the greater Twin Cities area and middle class backgrounds. However, there are students from many different religions, locations and financial situations, and a variety of religious and cultural events frequently occur on campus. The political flavor on campus ranges from liberal to conservative to undecided. Small class sizes and involved students mean that interactions between a variety of students happens on a daily basis. I've definitely become more aware of differing beliefs and cultures by the friendships I've made and classes I've taken.
