Good reviews
Overall 5
This school is genuinely good, don't listen to the bad reviews. People who write those pure negative reviews are the ones who sit in their dorms and do nothing
Overall 5
It is a good school for taking online courses, but it has high expectations of your student work. Remember that it is a private school, so the instructors are paid more generously. Also remember that money does not equate happiness...(wink) Most of the professors I have come across have been awesome. Do the work the best you can and you'll do fine!

I am currently in the MBA online program and I have nothing but great things to say about the University. If you put in the work you will do well, if your looking to skate by enroll at ECPI or one of those type of schools. Professors are great and very approachable even through online classes

Completed my undergraduate studies at St. Leo and now working on my graduate degree. Great school. Great location. Lots of clubs to choose from. Beautiful campus and church. Great professors. Dorms are nice and the food is good. I have learned a lot and made a lot of friends here. No complaints over here! Love St. Leo!
Overall 4.6
Once I got the hang of online classes, I am happy with the learning experience. I only had one absolutely horrid professor. After that experience, I researched the professors before I signed up for a class. The honor criteria is much higher than in other schools, but not impossible to achieve. Costs are reasonable.

I can't say enough good things about SLU. I had the best undergraduate experience and would do it all over again a million times!

I also came to this college. Now I'm transferring to another college. The food sucks big time, security also suck. I don't feel feel safe on campus, the faculty and staff are very rude and the students don't every now that they are being rude. Over all try to look at other colleges before even come to this college.
