    You can even meet people of your culture or people from upper state who can tell you a lot from what they have learned or from what you have learned and you can connect from there. You also can get a job on campus if you really need one.
    Tips for prospective students

    Here at Saint Leo you will meet with great teachers and if you need help with anything you will get it. You have a learning center that you can go to for experience tutors to help you do better in classes you are struggling in. You would get a great college experience from Saint Leo as well.

    Students that believe in integrity, respect, discipline, and hard work. Students that believe nothing comes easy. Students that have the willingness to strive and a desire to learn.
    Tips for prospective students

    St. Leo is a promising University. However, if you are not taking your education seriously, then St. Leo is not for you. You will have to do the work, and they make it clear that St. Leo doesn't make earning your degree easy.
    Will enjoy being here

    Anyone that is willing to work hard, will love it here at St. Leo. St. Leo is not a school whether online or on campus, that encourages procrastination and laziness. It functions to provide you with the best possible education that you need, if you work hard and want it.
    Will learn a lot

    I started the orientation that St. Leo offers for upcoming students, and just from the orientation I have learned so much about myself. In addition, I have discovered truly what a degree should mean and the statement I can make once I achieve it.

    It is pricy to go to school here, but it is totally worth it in the end. I am majoring in Elementary Education and the advisors in Education are wonderful! I have heard such great things about the graduate program that I get to look forward to. Getting an amazing education will benefit everyone in the end no matter what the cost is. You can't put a cost on education.
    Am enjoying being here

    There's always something going on at Saint Leo. Get involved in school, go greek, or just make new friends walking around the beautiful campus! I enjoy being at Saint Leo and the people around me everyday. Everyone is so nice and down to earth. People are always there to help no matter what.
    Am learning a lot

    Classes are very small and is in your best interest because you learn SO much more. The professors know you by name and not by just a number like bigger colleges. I learn something new in every class that I take.

    Saint Leo has a focused ROTC program, so any students interested in the military would be a great asset. The business program is ever expanding; we just got a new building on our campus, with marbled floors and modern architecture, donated by an alumni. Students interested in Psychology will find professors always eager to teach their subjects and teach them well; also opportunities to do your own research. The English department is creative, and students interested in this department will learn how to analyze, and correctly write in the MLA format.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always find an upperclassman in your major. We pay money to become smart - we are always looking for someone to mentor and share our information! If you need help, don't be afraid to ask someone, especially a professor. The professors here know you by name; it's a very personable atmosphere.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition includes a laptop, which is the most important tool I've ever needed as a college student!
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful and ever-expanding. With a view of Lake Jovita, a grassy field in the middle of campus, and a courtyard dedicated to the men and women servicing our country, this campus has personality. Walking around I always see people with a smile on their face and I can't help but smile back!
    Am learning a lot

    I am a Professional Writing major with a minor in Psychology. I have always enjoyed writing, and the English department is phenomenal. I not only have learning how to write professionally, but creatively as well. I became inspired with writing through poetry, and because of the fantastic faculty on campus, I now know how to write short stories, prose, creative non-fiction, and plays. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and I couldn't be happier!

    Tips for prospective students

    Keep your grades up. Never fall behind in your classes because the work will pile up. Join clubs ASAP.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is somewhat expensive, but it is worth it for the opportunities that the school offers its students. Many internships are offered. The education you will receive here is priceless.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is small and secluded, so if you want to leave campus you will need a car. However, there is almost always an activity, such as sporting events, mini carnivals, barbecues, bingo etc., happening on campus that students are welcome to participate in. There are a few fraternities and sororities on campus. Clubs and organizations are not scarce. On top of that, I love the people that I'm meeting here.
    Am learning a lot

    The class sizes are small so it's easy to ask questions and receive a good detailed answer. Most of the professors are excellent at their jobs and care about your success. I am in the honors program and, although the classes that I'm taking do not relate to my major, I'm learning and improving skills that I use in my other classes.

    Campus Safety

    I would rate this above 5 stars, as every person there is there for an education. Teachers and students are all like-minded, and if campus security is an issue, then students and teachers alike will assist security in a resolution.
    Greek Life

    Many organizations are available to pledge, including the National Honors Society as well as many Greek houses on campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    Saint Leo offers a wide range of activities.
    Great for these types of students

    Saint Leo is perfect for working adults who wish to return to school after a long break. It also caters heavily to the military professional, as most of my peers are service men and women. The knowledge you gain from them can never be learned in any book.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Core values are also exemplified by philanthropy, and for my birthday Saint Leo made a donation to the organization of my choice. I chose the Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee!
    Bang for the buck

    As far as the cost of being able to do my schoolwork after I get home from work; the cost is more than fair! There is a certain dynamic involved in communicating online with peers from around the world. Learning real-world applications from other cultures really has no monetary value, it is just one of the many extra hidden bonuses at Saint Leo. Teachers are all professionals, and are more than qualified, they are the best of the best.
    What to do for fun

    Study, volunteer, and plan for the future! Saint Leo has many clubs students can participate in, as well as youth ministry and opportunities to participate in outside volunteer and community programs.
    Food and Dining

    Students have access to multiple dining opportunities while on campus, I am sure they all make their own decisions and form their own opinions!
    Dorm Life

    I have never heard a bad dorm story, therefore, I rate it a 5 star experience.
    Academic Rigor

    Living in Idaho and attending a University in Florida was not a hard choice. The website offers links to every part of campus life, and students enrolled in the online classes are still invited to seminars, organizations, and are both involved as well as excited to participate! I have always felt part of the student community, and have made many new friends!
    Tips for prospective students

    The best thing to do is be yourself and never be afraid to ask a question. Instructors are fair, and every single person at the school is concerned for and genuinely cares about your success.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo University exemplifies core values and emphasizes integrity, community, and spirit. Instructors are real-world professionals and peers are like-minded adult professionals, all with a desire to contribute to the learning process. I am honored to be studying at such a professional university.

    Academic Rigor

    I have no opinion.
    Tips for prospective students

    If students are struggling in a subject, they should get help from their teacher. This can be accomplish bu going to their office hours. if this does not work they should find tutoring by their peers and if this does not work they should start to join a study group so they can get help from the student in the same class.
    In three sentences

    Teacher in Saint Leo University will help student reach their dreams. Students with all the help that saint Leo provides the students will be successful in life.

    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is always there for you. When you need a ride to a specific building late at night they come and pick you up. They are also very helpful when you are in need of medical attention, they rush right over and assist you in any way they can.
    Greek Life

    Greek life on campus isn't like many colleges. They do not have housing for fraternities nor sororities because it's a private catholic college. The Greek life does do a great job hosting events on campus and making campus life entertaining.
    Clubs and Activities

    Clubs and Activities is a main part of campus life. They hold different events daily. Our campus is never dull or lacking something to do. The clubs hold activities daily for us to do and entertain everyone with.
    What to do for fun

    On campus we have a huge lake, where you are able to go on boats and go kayaking. Within the lake our lovely friend Chocolate resides. She is over 7 feet tall alligator that everyone knows about.
    Food and Dining

    The food is exceptionally amazing. There is a wide variety of food to eat. Everyday it's a surprise as to what is being served. Breakfast is most people's favorite part of Saint Leo's Food and Dinning. Our Ice cream bar is amazing as well.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is very nice depending where you live. Of course nothing is going to be like home. Most dorms consists of two beds, two desks, two closets, and a sharing sink. Other dorms may allow you to have your own room
    Academic Rigor

    Academically this school is decent. The class that you take 75% of them do not transfer. If you choose to transfer take classes that can help you in the long run, rather than taking class the University requires first.
    Tips for prospective students

    I think If you choose to come to College at Saint Leo, you should come with an open mind. This university has courses that will not transfer if you choose to leave. The financial part changes a lot while your here.

    Campus Safety

    During the two years I have been at Saint Leo, the only crimes on campus have been drug dealing and under age drinking. The only thing campus security has to do is check for parking permits and make sure the drunk teens don't need medical attention.
    Greek Life

    Greek Life, while one of the best opportunities the school has to offer, is still far worse than anywhere else you could imagine. The first problem is that there is no Greek housing... I always thought that was one of the biggest perks of Greek life. The standards for Greek organizations, like most of Saint Leo standards, are far below par.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many clubs, but few are meaningful.
    Great for these types of students

    Saint Leo is great for studens with horrible SAT scores whose parents have a lot of money to waste on a school named after a Saint, giving it the illusion of being a reputable establishment.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    As Saint Leo is a catholic university, there are nuns and monks on campus. They are fairly interesting, but remain mostly unseen.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition at Saint Leo is over $18,000 a year for a lousy education and hardly any entertainment opportunities.
    What to do for fun

    There is nothing to do at this school. Literally nothing. The dorm I live in has televisions and a pool table with one broken pool stick. There are more fun opportunities for people interested in athletics, but I am not one of those people.
    Food and Dining

    The provided on campus is not bad at first, but eventually it is sickening. The cafeteria is buffet style, but it is usually tasteless and boring.
    Dorm Life

    Livng in the dorms at Saint Leo can be an exciting opportunity if you know the right people and do enough drugs. The only things to do on campus are watch teleivision, smoke marijuana, and drink a lot af alcohol. Sadly, there aren't even many homework assignments that could pass the time.
    Academic Rigor

    I have been attending this school for almost two years and I have had approximately five assignments that required more that thirty minutes to complete. There are some teachers who teach actual college courses, as opposed to silly and worthless high school classes, but they are few and far between
    Tips for prospective students

    Find another school that doesn't base its admissions on the amount of money you're willing to waste on a worthless education.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo University has provided the most fun I have ever had in my life, but, unfortunately, it failed in providing me with any sort of education. I met some of the most amazing, yet stupid and uneducated, people I have ever met and I had many wonderful experiences with them, however I learned next to nothing. This is not a school; it is a four year long party.

    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is amazing! Our school is super safe, and campus security is very friendly and if of need a ride at any time from your dorm to the library or anywhere they are happy to do it!
    Greek Life

    We have 4 sororities and 6 fraternities.
    What to do for fun

    There's a lot of things going on campus, we have CAB which is an organization that plans trips to Disney, universal, bush gardens, sea world, etc.. For only $5!!! That's a huge plus! And trips to the movies for FREE!! Favorite word as a college student. There's always something going on around campus. Grab a friend and go on an adventure around the city of Dade city! Small but beautiful!
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria has like 10 different food bars and you get to choose from a large variety. Also we have the lions lair which is like a convenient store and they have like starbucks, like a small surpermarket.
    Dorm Life

    I loved my freshmen year I met amazing people who have impacted my life tremendously. The walk to Snyder is amazing especially one of those days when you wake up and be alone.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes are amazing and they have no more than 30 people in a classroom which is amazing because you get to have that 101 with your professor. They love for students to ask questions!
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask for help when if you're lost, people won't look at you weird. And the library that will be your best friend especially during exams, love that place!
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo University is an amazing college to attend, you feel like you're right at home because everyone is very friendly. From 1 to 10 I would give Saint Leo a 10, the campus is beautiful, and faculty is ready to help you at any time. You will love the person you will become here.

    Great for these types of students

    The program, if it is setup, is great for students having to work on weekdays and can not go to school. Those students who want to get through school a little faster it is great for that, but be prepared to mostly teach yourself.
    Bang for the buck

    There are some good teacher that are interest in what they teach and want to give out the information, then others not as passionate. I had one teacher that assign the class to read the chapters then come to class and that is what they did in class to us. I only felt one teacher out of five give me a bang for my buck.
    What to do for fun

    I go on the weekend I do not have much information about what goes on at the campus. If there is something going on, I am most likely heading to class.
    Academic Rigor

    It is hard to tell because I had one teacher who was strict, but that was because they were stressing out about the time and what they had to get through. Others teachers have just brush it off of if we do not get to it then that is to bad.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would stay away from the Weekend and Evening Program. I thought when I was first coming into this program that it has been in the school for many years, but it only been running for about three to four years. Every time I was looking at my schedule I found that they did not have the course I needed and this is due to the lack of teachers available.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo University Weekend and Evening Program is unorganized and feel like it still under development. The program does not have or enough experience teachers teaching the class. Some are good at time management under the short time, but others stress out on the short time and do not properly present the information.

    If you want to be a part of your community in college, this is the place for you. There is a spot for everyone.
    Bang for the buck

    I think the education is superior, the dedication from the professors to helping students and explaining concepts clearly is first rate.
    What to do for fun

    Saint Leo is a little isolated so there isn't much off campus to go and do. But the university makes a lot of effort to provide events for students. Even trips to Disney World, Busch Gardens and Sea World. Current movies are often played on campus.
    Food and Dining

    Compared to most dining facilities that I have ever been around, the food is good. There are healthy choices, but there is the not so healthy too, if you want to go that direction.
    Academic Rigor

    Be prepared to work. Expectations are high and standards are high. The community supports each other but everyone is expected to work for their grades.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to work hard. Embrace the core values of Saint Leo and you will go far. Participate in your community, in any and all ways that you can.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo is an excellent small university. The English Department provides truly excellent professors who are working in the field, are published and provide not only superior education in English as a field of study but also provide a great insight into opportunities within the field.

    What to do for fun

    My focus is on schooling and I can party when I'm making the type of money I'm looking to make upon graduation. However, the University Campus for SLU is in Saint Leo, FL really laid back and quiet. If you're looking to really party, you will have to drive to Tampa.
    Food and Dining

    I do not live on campus therefore I can't comment of the food and dining.
    Dorm Life

    I do not live on campus so I can't comment on Dorm Life.
    Academic Rigor

    There are no bird courses at SLU. In every class you are guaranteed to learn something new. Sometimes the work can become overwhelming, but that's where your properly implemented time management skills and tutoring come into play.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that any school you are attending offers the degree program you want, don't just settle. Though, Saint Leo University didn't offer the AA program that I desired, they do offer the Bachelors in Social Work and even the MSW which I plan to obtain all at SLU.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo University is a wonderful school. When you attend SLU you feel like you are a part of a respected community, weather you attend traditional campus or attend the Center for Online Learning. Like all schools, you have great professors and then you have the professors who like to attack everything you do but can never properly answer a question when something is brought to their attention. The course load is not a walk in the park, if you are looking for bird courses you will not find them at SLU. The cost of attendance is pretty high but so far I am receiving an education that is worth every penny.

    Great for these types of students

    Saint Leo University is great for students that are serious about obtaining their first or next degree.
    Bang for the buck

    Instructors are professionals in their areas of concentration. Class sizes are usually small (18 students on average) so personalized attention is given in every class. Saint Leo offers a multitude of learning options to fit the needs of most students. This flexibility allows students to complete degrees while still having other obligations. In addition to a traditional campus of study, Saint Leo offers a Weekend and Evening Program, as well as Online and Distance Learning.
    What to do for fun

    Savannah is a city full of history, culture and activity. There is a lot to do in this area (pub crawls, museums, carriage, haunting or walking tours, parks, planned squares, River Street, Market Walk, Tybee Island, Fort Pulaski). I spend my time dancing, playing computer games, listening to live music and reading.
    Food and Dining

    Savannah has a wide variety of food establishments.
    Dorm Life

    Saint Leo University's main campus is located near Tampa, FL and offers campuses in California and throughout the South (Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia). I am currently taking classes on-line. However, there is a campus locally here in Savannah, GA that is accessible.
    Academic Rigor

    The courses are challenging and thought provoking. The curriculum is relevant, informative, and current. Saint Leo's academic pace is quick. Classes are completed in 8-week semesters. This is not the place for anyone who is not focused or determined.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come prepared to work hard and feel rewarded with success. Time management is a necessity especially if you have other obligations like parenting or full-time work. Use your resources-academic advisor, financial liaison, professors, mentors are all available to support your successful attainment of your degree.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo University is a institute of higher learning for students who work full-time or have personal responsibilities to reach academic and professional goals. The class sizes are small which allow for more personal interaction between students and professors. The culture of Saint Leo is based on six core values: Excellence, Community, Respect, Personal Development, Integrity and Responsible Stewardship.

    Tips for prospective students

    Get all your paperwork together and to the right people before classes begin instead of waiting till the last minute. Embrass the school and the courses that you choose and caution yourself for the fast past environment. Enjoy your time but do not get to far behind in your course work or you will be struggling to get back up.

    St. Leo University just reduced the cost of tuition and is actually competitive with the area state universities.

    I believe that St. Leo University keeps the student's academic workload manageable but not too easy. The courses are challenging but not impossible.
    Tips for prospective students

    A prospective student should apply and register as soon as possible and not put off meeting with an adviser to register for classes. This is a private institution, so search extra hard for scholarships.

    Make sure to use and check the student email they provide you with as they like to email offer, etc to that address. If you're using Financial Aid, try to find someone in that department with whom you're comfortable conversing. In person conversation maybe faster, but email is easier to keep records.

    Well, one tip that I can give you is to not be shy at all because everyone here is or may be as dorky or geeky as you, yet the nicest and coolest. Another tip can be to not be afraid of doing you own thing, here in Saint Leo is very enforced.

    Saint Leo caused me to be a little upset with their process. Instead of preparing me for the funds I had received, Saint Leo caused me to drop from school because I had run out of funds for the undergraduate program.

    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is always right around the corner thanks to Saint Leo's seemingly infinite amount of cameras. Almost everywhere you look, a camera stares back at you including inside certain elevators. If there is any crime to commit, the act will be caught and the criminal penalized.
    Greek Life

    There are many sororities on campus including tri beta, a biological organization in which students collaborate to share their knowledge on biological topics. Admission price and rules differ between clubs as well as the main topic of intrest, but in the end, it can be well worth the time. Many friends can be made and knowledge obtained not to mention the fun and special benefits offered by some Greek organizations such as scholarships, free parties, and other social events.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a seemingly infinite amount of clubs and organizations on campus, each of which have their own unique specialties and activities. Students are allowed to begin new clubs rather easily and can create more than one. Many of the clubs have fees however, some do not. These are great opportunities to have fun with others and complete community service on planned days.
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone interested in pursuing a career in business, biology, or law would most likely favor Saint Leo over other universities.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Saint Leo has a birthday celebration in the cafeteria once a month.
    Bang for the buck

    Being a private school, the cost to attend is higher than that of many other colleges though when considered, the services offered are phenomenal concidering how many resources are available to students on a constant basis.
    What to do for fun

    There is a game room located at the base of a new appartment complex built beside the dorms. Included in the room are a variety of arcade games and others such as fooseball, pool, and air hockey. All are free and open 24/7 for student use. A gymnasium is directly across the street from the game room and offers just about any work out imaginable. From hammering giant tires to yoga classes and treadmills, there is never a lack of activity. In addition to these benefits, the campus almost constantly offers extreme discounts to adventure parks and other attractions around Florida. Most of the time tickets are $5 and can allow students to enter attractions such as Bush Gardens HowlOscream and the movies at no additional cost. Practice rooms are also offered for musicians to jam on guitars, pianis, and drums located in the music building.
    Food and Dining

    If you can picture a 4 star resturant with open buffet and only an $8 enterance fee, you can easily picture the cafeteria at Saint Leo University. Students can choose from a variety of healthy foods including sugar free pastries, salads, and even oriental food cooked on a large flat grill. Ice cream, jello, and even slurpies are offered in addition to the previous. The list goes on for main courses as every day, something new is served. It's all you can eat after all.
    Dorm Life

    While I do not live in a dorm, I have seen the internal structure of the dormatories and had the luxury of staying in a few temporarily. Each room comes equipped with a bed with matress, desk, and storeage closet. The majority of rooms are split between two and four students and are therefore, equipped with a large counter inluding a sink and mini fridge for every two students in the room. It is the responsibility of the student to decide who uses certain storage areas.
    Academic Rigor

    Academics are the main focus at Saint Leo University and though they do have many diverse fields to study, each one is governed by an experienced professor, uaually at the doctoral level. As a result, course work is heavy and can be challenging at some times however, in the end many students can look back and be proud of their hard earned accomplishments.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you are ready for a heavy work load. Studying some of the basic topics related to your major and or classes could also assist in giving an advantage with preparation.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo University offers superb academics as well as experienced staff. People on campus are always friendly and willing to give a helping hand to those in need. I would highly recommend this college to other students seeking a well deserved degree in a subject they love.

    there is Greek Life and its a lot of fun and they do a lot of good for the community. I highly recommend it. (i'm planning on rushing)

    they have clubs for everything and if not its easy to make your own.

    The school is expensive. It honestly is, that's why half the class is leaving. but they hold a lot of events for you.

    Tampa: clubs, activities movies on campus drinking bingo night on campus they hold a lot of free vents and trips to movies and such. ( I recently went to celebration station for free.)
    Food and Dining

    The dining hall is good, better than USF dining hall. The food is changing a lot. There is a salad bar, sandwich station and a wok station. and the best cookies :) the downside is there are no close restaurants only the lions lair. which is campus run and a little expensive.
    Dorm Life

    The rooms are bigger than most of the schools I visited. There okay, the newer ones are nicer. If you are a freshman, there are two options 1) Henderson/ Beniot which is on campus and nice enough except there small, dark and I have heard stories of bugs. 2) Marimon/ Synder which is on campus but a 15 minute walk from the 'hill' (its safe) you pass the church and its a little long. I live here and its not as bad as it sounds. just have headphones or friends. the downside is the hill is steep. The good thing is the rooms are bigger than most, its clean(ish) for a college dorm and everyone knows each other. Because you are stuck far from campus together you meet everyone and everyone becomes friends quicker. (it also creates gossip though)
    Academic Rigor

    Its a average, if not a little less than average school (academic wise). If you did good in high school you will be fine here. Its a lot of papers and most of the classes follow the same guidelines. come to class, pay half-attention (for most people) and do the work and you will be fine. The best part is that the teachers know you because its so small, Its high school size class. If something is going on they are understanding.
    Tips for prospective students

    You need a car (or a friend with a car). If you live in Marmion/ Synder be prepared to walk. Get involved with the school there are a lot of parties and drinking on campus but if you get busted your screwed. make sure you take classes seriously
    In three sentences

    A great, small, close knit community school. In the country with wonderful views and okay weather. The downside? In the middle of no-where, the closest fun place is 40 minutes. (Tampa)

    Greek life is big at Saint Leo. Every day you will see Greek letters shown off by the students wearing them. The students are very proud of the Greek life they are a part of. I am not in Greek life, but I do have friends who are and they love it. They said they have made sisters for life.

    They offer many clubs and activities for students to join. The school is big on inter mural sports. Flyers are always posted around school for the students to see.

    This campus is a catholic school. We participate in religion courses, observe the catholic holidays. We also hold mass every week for students and staff who would like to attend. The school is also built next to a beautiful lake, where students can enjoy activities such as fishing, or can take a canoe out.
    Bang for the buck

    This school is beautiful, fun, safe, and the academics are wonderful. I chose Saint Leo because of their Elementary Education Program. It is one of the best in the state of Florida. I also really love how small the class sizes are.It was just a plus that it was so close to home.
    What to do for fun

    The school has many trips to Disney world, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios, the mall, football, baseball and hockey games lined up all the time for students. They post flyers around campus and also email the students about the opportunities. The school also hosts other activities at the school for students to participate in such as activities on the lake, at the pool, in the campus board rooms etc.
    Food and Dining

    Saint Leo offers a great dining experience. The campus includes a dining hall for on campus residents, a lions lair( convenient store-deli), and across the street at the golf course is a grille and bar restaurant. There are also a few restaurant and sub shops with in walking distance from the campus. Grocery stores and other restaurants are only about a 15 or 20 minute drive from the campus as well.
    Dorm Life

    I lived as a commuter student, I did not have the college dorm experience. Saint Leo takes pride in their student housing, they want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The freshmen dorms from what I heard are not as luxurious as the upper class mans. I believe they want you to earn the bells and whistles. Other than dorms the campus also offers apartments, they are a little pricey, but they are beautiful. They just finished building another set of buildings and this set includes a fish tank that will be featured on an episode of Tanked this spring, it also includes a game room and nap pods in the lobby of the apartment. Dorm life can help to build life long friendships.
    Academic Rigor

    Academics are held high at Saint Leo. They want you to succeed. They will push you hard, but will always lend a helping hand if you need it. If you do not want to be placed on academic probation, I suggest studying hard and keep up with your assignments. Hint: study/work during the week, and save play time for the weekend.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips for prospective students would be to make friends and have fun while in college, however keep up with your academics. Meet with your advisor, get to know them, they are there to help you, at Saint Leo the advisers work very hard to meet all of your needs.
    In three sentences

    Saint Leo is a beautiful campus. The many programs they offer are outstanding and the professors are awesome. The small class size is great for one on one interaction with the professor and fellow classmates, you can't find this in many other universities.

    Safety is very high. There are cameras all over and always a person on duty to call.
    Greek Life

    Our Greek life is very different than big schools or schools not in the south. I'm personally involved in it and I love it. Greek life is a big deal on campus and gets you involved. Many people are Greek.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are so many groups to join and get involved with on campus. There's no way you won't something between service, special interest, cultural, academic, and Honor Society groups.
    Great for these types of students

    people who like warm FL weather and a small, close learning community. For people not into football, since there is no team.
    Bang for the buck

    There are a lot of activities put on for students that are free and lots of Leo gear/other stuff is given away to students at these events.
    What to do for fun

    I joined a sorority and participate in clubs. We also have a campus activities board, as well as a First Year Experience Office and Student Government Union that plan events and activities like movie trips, dances, and amusement park trips. Plus, I work out at the gym and pool. There's also intramural sports and a gorgeous lake right on campus with a dock.
    Food and Dining

    Food is okay. There is a lot of variety. Hot food line, pizza and pasta bar, salad bar, soup station, sandwich/wrap line, Asian station, omelet station, vegetarian station, fast food station, desert line, ice cream machines, drink machines (including juice, coffee, and slushies).
    Dorm Life

    This depends on the dorm. There are really only 3 dorms. Most of the other housing is apartment style. I like my dorm. It's a double. However, the roommate, the floor, and the RA really make the experience. There are always ladies on the floor cleaning, especially the bathrooms. It's definitely different than you're own room though so it takes getting used to. It's a lot smaller, plus communal showers and doing your own laundry.
    Academic Rigor

    So far classes have been work, but not too difficult. It depends on class. Freshman prerequisites tend to be easier, while classes specific to the major or honors classes should be more difficult.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely visit before you make the decision. Either people love Leo or hate it. It's located in the country, like 15-20 minutes from stores and fast food. That's an issue for some people.
    In three sentences

    I love the school. So many opportunities are available because of the small size and close connection with advisors and professors.

    There is not a lot around Saint Leo, but if you drive a little bit there is a mall where friends and i like to go shopping. I enjoy going to yoga classes every tuesday and thursday.
    Food and Dining

    I was very impressed with the food when I first arrived at Saint Leo, but you get tired of eating the same food every day very shortly. If I could change one thing about the dinning hall I would add more booths. It is always a hard time finding a place to sit.
    Dorm Life

    Snyder is pretty old. Could use some improvement, but there are newer apartments for once you are no longer a freshman. I really look forward to moving into the apartments next year.

You will find that your college experience is less stressful.

    safety in our campus isn't a big concern.
    Greek Life

    Greek life is big at my school, but most of the students are Teak.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is so many clubs and activities to get involved with that its hard to keep track off how many we have. the good things is that the school is still letting new clubs arise.
    Great for these types of students

    we have all types of student ; jocks, nerds, Goths, rich kids, etc. but the best thing is that we all still hang around with each other there is no outcast.
    Bang for the buck

    I pretty much spent my whole time at my school; I work , eat, breath and I even go to church at school. its a great place to be!
    What to do for fun

    In order to have fun on campus you just have to walk outside and you'll find something to do. there's also a mall and a movie theater in miles from the campus.
    Food and Dining

    The caf���© has everything you need to eat , its like heaven on earth!
    Dorm Life

    I commute but from what I hear its a good safe and fun place to live.
    Academic Rigor

    It's only hard if you make it hard. Meaning that if you procrastinate ,then it will be hard for you. because its a lot of work and if you leave it to the last minute then it will break you.
    Tips for prospective students

    don't be afraid to meet new people or to go see your advisers; there always there for you. all you need to do is speak up.

    Saint Leo is a small private school it will take you a week to get to know the school inside out. News travel fast around here, there's always some kind of an event happening on school grounds. We have a great athletics program , so its great to cheer for our teams as well as to watch them play.

    Pro-active with a hunger for knowledge.
    Bang for the buck

    The cost is comparable to other online schools. They are regionally accredited. Nicest part is no one will know you went online, unlike other online schools, so you can avoid the ridiculous stigma attached to online schools.

    Academic Rigor

    Haven't started classes yet. But after reading other student's reviews they say it's hard work but they felt like the got a good education.
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask questions!!! They are always willing to answer them. The catholic portion is not pronounced so if you're not catholic, don't let that scare you away. They really try to work with your schedule and preferences for contact, but don't bug you to death, which is great.
