Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

The time and the challenges I have experienced at Saint Paul College, generally was speaking, have been very meaningful, but they have also been significant in a positive sense. As an international student, I really appreciated how supportive and approachable many instructors were, especially in writing and communication classes.

Current Student

I started at St. Paul College unsure of college would be the right path for me, and was blown away by what I found at SPC. Professors are kind, enthusiastic, and always willing to talk.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

Professors have usually been patient and knowledgeable in explaining difficult English and helping students who are still working on the skills. The campus is diverse, affordable, and has flexible classes, which made college life in the U.S. feel easier for me. Information might seem unclear or too late at times as deadlines, transfers or program requirements.

Current Student

Transportation and scheduling can also be tough for students who don’t have a car. Saint Paul College is also a solid place to begin in general and even better for students that are driven, hardworking and want to take an accessible path into college.

Current Student

Students are respectfully and extremely diverse. Campus is clean, cushy, and great for studying. Classes are the right amount of rigorous, however I have found the online courses too easy.
