<p>Does anyone know much about St. Edward's University in Austin? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>hmmmm....does anyone know anything about this school at all?</p>
<p>My neighbor's daughter is there on an athletic scholarship. I truly don't know a lot about the academics, however. Austin is so dominated by UT that it's hard for the many smaller colleges in town -- St. Ed's, Concordia Lutheran, Huston-Tillotson -- to get much notice. I can say I love the older buildings on campus. I know they've recently built some new dorms so I suppose they are looking to expand. </p>
<p>Nice location on trendy South Congress, about two miles from the Capitol. The only programs I know about are an evening MBA program and a wonderful program for kids of migrant workers.</p>
<p>I graduated from there in May 2007 (evening program for adults). It is an excellent school with phenomenal professors and a great environment. I loved every single minute I spent there and miss it dearly. Their Master's program is ranked 20th in the Western U.S. and the school is terribly underrated if you ask me. It's a shame that St. Ed's has to live in the shadow of UT.</p>
<p>St. Edwards was recently added to my son's list, but we haven't visited yet. I know several folks whose kids love it there. I was a bit concerned about it being a Roman Catholic school since we aren't Catholic; however, one guy I know who goes there is an Orthodox Jew and l really likes it there.</p>
<p>My daughter has a good friend there. The friend likes it very much and highly recommends it.</p>
<p>not worth the money</p>
<p>because.....?</p>
