Stfx is close to my home. I didn't want to be too far but I'm also far enough to get a sense of independence. The X ring was also a bit part of the reason that I chose the school and I'm looking forward to joining the alumni's.
Course Curriculum :
Could be more options but there's still a good variety for such a small town. Not too hard and you get what you give, in the end, so it's important to do your work. Options for everyone and every style of learning.
Events :
Homecoming is a big one at the end of Septemeber. X has a big alumni network. The Catalina Wine mixer is also an excellent time to relax with friends. There are also theme nights going on at the Inn, so there's a bit of everything for everyone.
Fees :
Tuition is about eight grand for the average student. Residences go anywhere from $5000 to $9000 depending on what sort of living situation you're looking for. You have to pay fees for the union and some construction, but it's nothing out of place.
Examination Structure :
Exams in December and April. They tend to get a bit rushed for some people but I've had a good experience. The exams were anywhere from two hours to three hours depending on the class. A good summary of the classes that you attended.
Faculty :
Except for a few, all of the faculty is excellent. Since it?s a small school, they have enough time to put thought and care into each student to help them succeed.
