<p>Hello,
I am a French student and I wanted to know if St Edwards was a good university because we offer me the possibility of go there but I do not know what that is worth and I am afraid of making an error by giving up my studies in France to try the adventure , sorry for my level in english .</p>
<p>PS: In the brochure they tell to be among 20 better US universities.
PS2 : I wish to study economics in the sector of the finance.</p>
<p>St. Edward’s is a solid school, but not well-known outside of Texas. It is a small liberal arts college, and it does offer business majors. It is located in Austin, Texas, which is a fantastic city and would be an adventure for sure. The University of Texas, a huge university, is also located in Austin, so you could spend some time there socializing if St. Edward’s is not exciting enough for you.</p>
<p>Hi, nova2nola.
Thank you for having made the effort to answer me, to be frank I do not know how his takes place in the US but in France the social aspect interests us not that much, it is rather the reputation of the school and the obtained diploma which matters, that is why I wanted to know if St Edward was a good university for the economy and I heard that as St Edward was connected to the university Notre-Dame there was possibility of transfer is it true?</p>
<p>St. Edward’s and Notre Dame were founded by the same person and same Catholic order. I have not come across any information online about ND having a preference for transfers from St. Ed’s. Maybe ask whoever told you, where they got that info. You could also email or call the admissions department of either school. </p>
<p>In the U.S., the reputation of a college matters greatly to many applicants, but most college-bound students also desire an exciting social life and sports and activities in college. Also, competition for admission to the most prestigious colleges is fierce.</p>
<p>The ranking they’re referring to is being ranked 17th among regional universities in the western section of the United States. It is not a nationally known school and would not be considered among the best schools by most people in Texas. </p>
<p>That said, it is a respectable school with good programs. Business students travel abroad through the Global Business Institute for Societal Responsibility and work on business projects with a focus on social justice. </p>
<p>As for it being a good university for the economy, I don’t think that has a lot of meaning. A lot will depend on what you do while you’re at the university. You should look and see what kind of classes are being offered by looking at their class schedule.You should also contact their career center and ask where they have been placing their graduates the past year or two.</p>
<p>I would not recommend this school to an international student. You are much better off at a large state-funded public institution like the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, the University of Houston, or Texas Tech University.</p>
<p>St. Edwards is a Catholic university and draws many of its students from Catholic high schools in Texas.</p>
<p>It is a nice size, big enough to offer a wide range of classes but small enough for the faculty to know each student.</p>
<p>The small classes mean that students must be prepared for class discussions and to write papers, not take the true/false exams of larger schools.</p>
<p>St. Edward’s grads do well when they go on to law school and medical school because they learn to research and they learn to write.</p>
<p>Austin is a great city with lots of good (even cheap) places to eat and to hear live music.</p>
<p>One problem: you won’t want to leave…Austin is addicting.</p>
