Xavier University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Brandon

The small class size and relationship with professors.

Meghan

The best thing about Xavier University is the atmosphere of the school. I have always been amazed by powerful atmospheres, and Xavier offers and incredible amazement. Everywhere I walk I seem to be invited in by people whether it be through a simple smile or a chat with my professor. Since Xavier is a Jesuit University, and I came from a Jesuit High School, I can see the clear similarities that are reflected in their powerful atmospheres.

Missy

The teachers and the amount of time they put into students. They will drive to campus on a weekend to help you and have required office hours. Class size is always under 30 too.

Morgan

One of the best things about the school is the teachers. They are extremely accomodating, helpful, and smart. They all have had years of experience in thier fields and years of teaching the subject so I truely take away alot from my classes. Also, the business school is great. They have numerous connections and resources that allow for many opportunities for the students including mentors, job and internship opportunities, and a brand new facility that give me an edge over other business students.

Samantha

The best thing about my school is that everyone is accepting towards any race, any ethnicity, anyone with learning disabilities or physical disabilities. The fact that my school is accepting towards everything and everyone is the best thing because I feel welcome here and I feel like anyone would be willing to help me if I needed help. Also because I can make friends with anyone without him or her judging me before they get to know me.

John

The people. It is not hard to find really good people at this school who can make really good friends. Also the business school. They try so hard to make sure you are ready for the business world by giving you all the tools and resources you need.

Naimah

I love that my school is small and friendly. The faculty are very helpful and the professors are very intelligent.

Timothy

The sense of community at Xavier is unlike any other place I have ever seen. No one is a stranger. I have yet to meet a person who does not share my sense of pride and love for Xavier. In addition, I feel that the community also strongly promotes learning by serving others. Our second largest student group on campus is actually the Alternative Break Program where students spend their Spring Break doing service. This sense of wanting to give back really affirms my college decision.

Danielle

The best thing about school is learning new things in my field of study and meeting new people in the program. Because I go to a small school, the class I am in will be the class I am with for the rest of the time I am there so getting to know those people is the most enjoyable part for me because this is where I will probably make some of the best friends I'll ever have.

Omotola

Sports (basketball), everyone is unified on this subject
