    Am learning a lot

    At this college the teachers are real nice and they will work with you on what ever it is you need. They are easy to obtain information from and you will learn a lot because they will do anything for you to understand. Of course not all of the teachers here will do this but most of them will.
    Am enjoying being here

    This campus is real lively. The students here are outgoing and very helpful. I am sure that you will make friends no matter what. There are friends that will help with work and they are people that you can talk to about anything.
    Bang for the buck

    The college is affordable. Money wise, it just depends on what you want to do like your major and the program you will want to get into.

    Academic Rigor

    Some of the teachers don't seem to be familiar with a lot of the new technology.
    However, the teachers will email you information that you need. They will also answer questions by email if you are confused about something.
    Bang for the buck

    It's cheaper than most schools. It's okay for basics.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early. If you want or need financial aid, you really need to get that done early. That's what will hold you up. Take your Accuplacer test early, so you have time to retake if you need to. This test determines what type of classes you will be put in (eg Remedial or College courses.)
    Great for these types of students

    Students that are trying to watch expenses.
    Students that need to get their basics.

    I've attended St. Philips college since 1994. I love the smaller classes and you get to have more one on one time with the instructors. Everyone that I have encountered at school is extremely nice and willing to assist you. I think that is the reason i chose to return back to this college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Well for the new prospective students entering St. Philip's College, the experience would be a great one. The school has been renovated with new buildings to support the amount of students entering college. The atmosphere is so relaxed, but the classes are very challenging, depending on what line of major you study for.
    Academic Rigor

    Well through my experience at St. Philip's, Academics is some thing you need to have in good standings. Yes, classes were very challenging when i went to school , but being able to make the Dean's list is an overall accomplishment. I feel the instructors are really there for you to succeed.
    Dorm Life

    This is a 2 year junior college and their is not a dorm.
    Food and Dining

    The food was okay when I went to school. Majority of the time, we just snacked through the vending machines and went to class.
    What to do for fun

    The college does have a lot of extra curricular activities in the gym or they have a reck room to enjoy time between classes. A lot of students do take advantage of this extra commodity.
    Great for these types of students

    St. Philip's College has a diversity of students attending this school. You get the opportunities to meet different students and their culture life. Lets everyone know, that we seek to have higher education any which way we can.
    Campus Safety

    Never had an issue with safety on campus. But I'm pretty sure the campus police would be able to assist anyone in need. I do remember that if you parked to far out in the evening, campus police would escort you to your car. I thought that was great.

    Great for these types of students

    St. Philip's College helps anyone who needs help and has tutors on duty for all subjects from 8am-8pm. Also if your disable(like me) they have a great disability service center. The people are very patient and will help you until all your questions and concerns are answered.
    Clubs and Activities

    At St.Philips college they have multiple clubs and activities for the students. They have clubs for minorities, handicap and sport clubs. The one thing I like about the clubs at my school is that you have to have a 3.0 GPA, which pushes students to work harder to keep there grades up in school while having fun.
    Greek Life

    There are no Greeks
    Campus Safety

    St. Philip's College has an officer on duty 24/7. Also there are phones threw out the campus to get in contact with the campus police department if you may feel unsafe. Our crime rates are slim to none and everyone is really friendly.

    st. philip's is a great school to prepare you for a four year degree.
    st. philip's has many activities for the students to do and organizations for students to join.
    st. philip's has the only 5 star chapter honor society in san antonio.
    Tips for prospective students

    the one thing i can tell prospective students is to be prepared and any questions that you might think about, write down and never be afraid to ask. another message would be to not procrastinate when it comes to your financial aid applications and forms, to ensure you receive your funds when you need them.
    Academic Rigor

    academics are very important but should you have trouble with classes, there is a tutoring lab to help. math world is the largest recognized tutoring center in san antonio. there is also a writing lab that helps as well.
