The University of St. Thomas wants to teach us ?thoughtful approach to the challenges of contemporary life.? In our various lectures or in different extracurricular activities- it all teaches current students to fathom different aspects of life and use them in their non academic life. For instance, I am a part of this dance group, PULSE, that is run by only students and it brings all students from different racial and dance backgrounds- bringing a community. It was in that group for the first time I was a co-choreographer with my own show.

Outsiders generally sterotype us by our catholic affiliation. But within the school there is not much emphasis on religious affiliation. There is a lot of diversity here and all of the professors respect that, even the theology professors! We are required to take three theology courses, but they teach it as fact and don't try to persuade you to believe one way or the other. Professors only want you to gain a thorough understanding of the different religions in the world.
