Am learning a lot
It's hard to fail at this school. Their program Freshman Experience, keeps you in constant contact with advisors, professors, and tutors. You even have to check in with them.
Am enjoying being here
I knew I wanted to experience living on campus, but living at Saint Augustine's has been just about the best experience ever.
Bang for the buck
Considering it is a private college, the tuition is relatively low compared to other private colleges in the area. The campus is beautiful and the professors are of great prominence.
Tips for prospective students
When shopping for your school, make sure it is a fit for not just you, but the family. Compare everything, classes, dorms, activities, access to off campus activities, and you will be sure to have made the right choice.
Great for these types of students
If you struggled in high school, but know that you can achieve and want to achieve than Saint Augustine's is the right school for you. The atmosphere is great for learning and the nuturing environment will assure that you do learn, as long as you want to.

Am learning a lot
I think the professors here are pretty decent. They have so many different teaching styles here and there is so much you can learn from these professors here. I feel like I am learning so much about myself and about the world by being here.
Am enjoying being here
I do enjoy being here. I think that there is a lot to do out here especially off campus. There are a lot of jobs that sponsor students and help them to get their work experience up. There are definitely fun activities to do around The campus and the area.
Bang for the buck
They will definitely give you a run for your money. I think that the way they do certain things for the students such as the homecoming and spring fling and things of that nature is really worth you spending your money as well as getting an education.
Tips for prospective students
Tips for students I would give is that definitely watch who you hang around and also be careful who you tell your business to because the campus is small and stuff gets around fast. Stay involved in the school, it definitely helps you in the long run and people recognize you for it. Another thing I would also say is that you need to stay on your schoolwork 24/7 because of the simple fact that the teachers here don't really cut you no slack.
Great for these types of students
Great for people with great social skills, people who love the entertainment business, aspiring singers, dancers, models, everything.

In three sentences
As an upcoming sophomore at Saint Augustine's University I would rate it 8 out of 10. The faculty and staff are helpful and understanding. Last the event and activities keep life on campus entertaining.
Tips for prospective students
If you are looking for an institution that puts STUDENTS first then Saint Augustine's University would be right for you. Remember that college is what you make it and what you put in is what you will get out of it. Most importantly never be afraid to ask questions and use the resources around you.
Academic Rigor
The academic work is not too easy nor too hard. It may causes you to think and do research but never pop a brain vessel. That is depending on the declared major.
Dorm Life
Dorm life is interesting, we do have visitation hours but it varies depending on the resident hall. Fines are given if necessary but only for discipline. Unfortunately, freshman dorms are a bit small.
Food and Dining
The food is not like food at home but it is pretty close. It changes everyday and there is more than one choice of dinner. The lunchroom has specific hours as well.
What to do for fun
For fun there are always events or activities on campus such as talent shows, advice sessions, pageants, parties, Greek performance and more. Resident Halls also host many shops or kick backs. Students also just enjoy hanging out and making their own events such as balloon fights.
Clubs and Activities
We have many clubs and organizations. I would recommend to check our website www.st-aug.edu to check out our student handbook for specific names and details.
Greek Life
Greek life is amazing. They host step shows and parties. Most important they do community service and focus on academics.
Campus Safety
Our campus police are always on duty.
