Geographic Distribution of Student Body

<p>Hi. Im looking to possibly apply to Saint Louis University this year. But my mom says its too far, as I live in CT and its supposably a 16 hr drive. Her limit is essentailly 6. I am a true new englander and would like to know how many people come from the North of the country and go to SLU. If i got homesick it would be nice to know that I was not in a comptley different environment. As far as I have seen the student body is mostly from the south and midwest. Any anwser would be appreciated. Thanks !</p>

<p>I’m from Philadelphia and was just accepted to SLU. I’m going to see it in a few weeks, but so far, I am comfortable with the demographic of the student body. I would like to meet people from places other than the north, which I would definitely experience at SLU!</p>

<p>Most students are from Chicago, Saint Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Milwaukee, Cincinatti, or Cleveland. There are a few students from California and other states but like 80% are from the cities I listed above. There are a lot (like 10%) Chinese students. There are almost no southerners so if that concerns you its not an issue. Financially most students are well off so thats also something to consider.</p>

<p>Thank you for responding to my post. I feel better knowing that there is a mix and not everyone is from the same 2 states or something. Thanks for your help.</p>
