Big Picture

St. Joe's is small and personal which makes getting to know people and making friends very easy; that is definitely one of the best things about the school. It's small, but it's not too small. The campus is great and there's enough stuff to keep you busy. Even though it doesn't have a "college town", it has Philadelphia literally right down the road in one direction and King of Prussia in the other. There's definitely some administrative things that need some work, particularly campus security and residence life.

Academic Life

The academics at St. Joe's are, for the most part, top notch. Obviously, not every teacher is the cream of the crop, but I would say 85-90% of the time, you're getting a fantastic teacher in your classes; especially if you're in the business or liberal arts schools. The classes are usually small and personal which is great compared to the usual college lecture hall where individual opinions aren't really taken into consideration. An education at St. Joe's is incredibly valueable for a job out of college; bottom line.

Student Body

The only thing I have to say about this is that the students who are involved in lots of service work on campus need to back the hell off and get off their high horses. It's incredibly annoying to have to listen to them make you feel like less of a person because you're not involved in a thousand different service groups on cmapus. Other than that, the student body is rather diverse and for the most part pretty well rounded.
