The University of St. Thomas

International Recruiting and Admissions

Peter

Why did you choose St. Thomas?

I chose St. Thomas because of the vast opportunities it offers to the students! Being interested in business studies, I saw a great opportunity in St Thomas' Business program. I also appreciated that being located in the Twin Cities provides great opportunities for internships. The area is also wonderful for entertainment and sports events.

What do you like best about St. Thomas?

What I like best about St. Thomas is everybody's dedication to helping and assisting others; from professors in class, to librarians, to the health staff in the Student Health Center, to the Residence Life staff, and more. Everybody goes beyond the call of duty to make things work, which is something special!

What do you like about being a student in the Twin Cities area?

Being a student in the Twin Cities comes with incredible advantages. There is easy access to things that help enhance a student's experience, whether it is theatres where I can watch a play for class or all-size companies to use as case studies for business classes. There is a lot to choose from for whatever one wants.

What campus activities are you involved in?

I am an International Student Ambassador, I participate in volunteer services with Students Today Leaders Forever (STLF- a student Organization on campus), and I am a member of the African Nations Students Association (ANSA).

What advice would you give to prospective international students?

St. Thomas is a place where people are open-minded. The school helps students work on achieving their full potential. At St. Thomas, you feel everyday that you are in the right hands!
