<p>Does anyone from FA know about Saint Leo?</p>
<p>I already know all the info on collegeboard but I just wanted opinions from people that actually leave in FA. What do you think about the college?</p>
<p>No prestige, not a really difficult or academically oriented school. My friend, an athlete went there for Division 2 basketball. He had to take the SAT 6 times to get the necessary 820(or so) combined math and verbal to compete in Division 2, but he got a full scholarship. I've heard nice food, nice weather, etc.</p>
<p>It's nice if you just wanna hang around your college years and have some fun.</p>
<p>Hmmm...really? I don't care much about prestige or if a school is well known. I only care if the school is good academically. I definitely don't wanna hang around college doing nothing for 4 yrs, if that's true. Has anyone heard anything else about SLU?</p>
<p>These were the majors SLU had that I was interested in. I was just wondering if it was a good school to go to to study these.</p>
<p>Business/Marketing: 33%
Social Sciences: 13%
Psychology: 9%<br>
Parks And Recreation: 5% <especially this one</p>
<p>Also, I meant to say live* not leave. ;-)</p>
<p>COLLEGEBOUNDKIM.............Parks And Recreation: 5% <especially this one</p>
<p>Just curious as to your interest in this type of major - any ideas of what you may like to do regarding this field?? Part of this major is usually tied in with a business minor almost - but not quite- and actually includes some of the other areas of interest in your above post.</p>
<p>I did a wrestling camp there a couple of years ago and I actually just drove by it going to Cross Country State Championships. From what I know, it isn't that strong of a school, but I didn't take a tour or anything.</p>
<p>I know three people who attended SLU (2 decades ago). They ENJOYED their time there but they weren't looking for an academically challenging school - simply wanted one they wouldn't fail out of, could live away from home and in what their parents assumed was a supervised environment. The girl's father picked it - girls dorms were on the other side of campus from the boys I believe. The boys joined frats and spent 4 yrs partying. These C students became A/B students in college. </p>
<p>The kids I know did ok because they showed up for class and did their homework. Run more like a HS. THese kids barely made it out of HS (C students) and had very low SAT scores. It was probably the right choice because they may have lost their way at a big school... The guys got entry level jobs in industry and banking upon graduation.</p>
<p>It depends on what you're looking for. In some locations or some professions, it doesn't matter where you get your degree, just that you have one. In other cases, it makes a huge difference. My first job wouldn't even offer interviews (for certain depts) unless you attended certain schools...Some kids thrive in a challenging situation and others simply want to coast through and have a good time. </p>
<p>I suggest you do an overnight trip, if possible. Sit in on some classes. Eat in the dining hall. Go out socially. See if it feels right (academically and socially).</p>
