I completely agree with a post below about how much I loved this school, yet upon graduation I felt lost and unprepared for the “real world”. I think the staff and curriculum is amazing, I wouldn’t choose differently, but St Eds was like a dream state of mind. That being said , I have obtained a different bachelors degree since graduation and changed my field of study. More real world practicality from the programs perhaps would help prepare future graduates to succeed ! Thank you st Ed’s for an amazing undergrad experience nonetheless, that I will cherish forever. So many people, myself included, met their current spouse/partners here :)

This is a great university! The psychology undergrad program prepared me for success in my current counseling psychology master’s program quite well. The faculty are fantastic and the campus is gorgeous. I appreciated Spanish tutoring with Dr. Escamilla provided by the school as well as numerous career development, grad school application, recreational, and internship placement opportunities! I only wish it was a bit more affordable as even with scholarships it’s quite pricey. But, I am glad they pay their faculty, and I do think they spend the money well on resources that directly positively impact students. They have a career resource center that’ll help alumni with resumes, searching for jobs and more! The gym and yoga studio are great. One of my psychology professors had us meditate as part of class and we did things like go outside to paint together and go to yoga! It was a positive psych class so it fit. This isn’t to say the university was easy or without academic rigor because it was challenging and involved plenty of difficult academic work including research! I do feel it was social justice oriented as I appreciated the Mexican American cultural class in Spanish I took told from an indigenous professor and perspective, though to be even more socially just, reduce the price of tuition! I enjoyed that I knew at least half of the faculty and they knew me and remembered me and would say hi years after I took their class; so much better than just being a number in a big lecture hall! It may not have the rankings or prestige of some larger universities and how can it being so small, but the quality of education and experience is high. Only 1 student was mean to me 1 time my entire undergrad career. Really recommended! I would not have been prepared for my current grad program without SEU...don’t think I would have even gotten in otherwise because I was taught at SEU how to write an ideal essay, APA publication format, interview and interpersonal skills, and was able to achieve high grades because the learning experience is so high; I got my disabilities accommodated for instance. Literally the only reason I cannot give 5 stars is the exorbitant cost that limits many people so they can’t attend or will have a lot of debt. Otherwise, fantastic!

Arguable the best Uni ever! If you like culture, nature, and all round loving community. This is a place to visit and/or attend! The Austin and Texas history runs deep here, you should check it out.

Beautiful campus overlooking downtown Austin. Founded by the order of Holy Cross as a Catholic boys school in 1873 and by 1921 had became a college and in 1925 reached the status of a university. The Main Building, after being destroyed by a fire, was rebuilt in 1903 in the Gothic revival style reminiscent of the great universities of the east. St. Edwards University is a fascinating part of Austin history that many Austin residents are unfamiliar with.

Im an MBA graduate student. The culture at St. Edwards is fantastic. I love it here. The classes are small and intimate, my professor knows my name. It feels great to be taught by people that want to teach. I was an undergrad at UT and I enjoy this campus far more. If youre looking for a university, visit the campus and talk to people. It really is great how it feels like everyone cares about you.

I got to work very closely with their facilities staff. They are extremely well run behind the scenes. Everybody is extremely friendly, which means everyone loves their jobs. The campus, while a bit small, is very beautiful.

When I started attending St.Edwards, I was debating about transferring to Texas State, since thats where some of my best friends are studying, but after a few weeks I feel in love. The student services, the beautiful scenery, the close-knit classes, everything in this university makes you feel at home (we had a petting zoo on finals week and I got to hold a lizard, a chick, a bunny, and A HEDGEHOG!!)Seriously, I cant say enough good things about this University

This is my first semester as an MBA student at St. Edwards University and so far so good. I am very pleased with all of my professors and with the quality of teaching. All of my primary courses are very well laid out and offer ample opportunities for advancement. All courses address topics in a way that you can apply to your current organization so this helps incorporate the skills you learn in the work place. All in all, this is a wonderful learning institution.

I went to school from 2013-2016 and received my Bs in Biology with a focus on the health professions. I loved my experience at St. Edwards and would recommend it to just about anyone. The pros are the teachers, the smaller class sizes (much like an ACC class) and the education quality you receive. Much like any university, you get out what you put in to it. I will say there are a few cons. The biggest downside is the cost of tuition. If you can get a transfer scholarship and a few other scholarships and grants, do it. Another downside I would say is that if you are a non-traditional student, it can be hard to always work things out with teachers. Working a 8-5 job I sometimes had to miss a class and some teachers were not as understanding as others. Overall though, I loved my experience at St. Eds and if you are a science major the education cant be beat.

I started when I was a freshman and now Im a senior. Probably, one of the best experiences Ive had. Ive met all my good friends here! It will be a sad moment when I graduate. This is the place to be, we might be the underdogs to UT but we are moving at a fast pace when it comes to the improvements to our studies. Cheers!

I spent the last two and a half years of my life there after a year a community. Presently, I am attending a visiting semester at the University of Oklahoma. While there are some interesting and impressive aspects to this large state school, its nothing like home on the hilltop. St. Edwards was never too small and always plenty diverse. There werent too many competing activities, but there was always plenty to choose from and get involved in. The education is incomparable, and the people are even better. At SEU are professors that want to TEACH (rather than run on the publication treadmill), students who want to LEARN (rather than compete in a cut-throat fashion or simply network), and a zeitgeist of passionate, well-rounded UNDERSTANDING.
