This is a very inclusive and small college. Ample opportunity to get to know peers. Safe environment overall.
Overall 4.7
This school has to be the best one in the nation. I have lived all over the U.S. and I always come back to Duluth because the area has excellent opportunities and the kindest people you'll ever meet. Anyone would be lucky enough to be here and do well at this college.

Great school. Would recommend
Overall 4.3
Great school, has a very family like feel, especially with the faculty. The psychology and biology/chemistry departments are wonderful! Usually the professors are more than ready to help you succeed. Parking is a bit atrocious, but doable. Clubs and volunteering easy to maintain. Definitely not a party school, but is a wet campus. Academics top all

Located in gorgeous Duluth, MN with endless northern MN things to do, the campus has a variety of clubs and organizations to be a part of. Additionally, students are able to have their voices heard due to having a small campus that is closely connected with the students.

Scholastica is such a beautiful campus and perfectly located in the amazing city of Duluth! There's always so many things to do around campus and everyone here truly cares about you as an individual.

I love how inclusive the campus is and how included every staff member makes students feel.
Overall 4.1
Absolutely love it here! It is a small campus, which is not for everyone. If you feel the campus is too small it is a 15 min walk or there is a bus that runs between UMD and CSS so you can go hang out over there too. So far I have been very satisfied with all of my teachers! They know their material and care about the students.

If you want to hear nursing majors constantly complain about how hard they have it and how statistics is somehow the hardest class ever this is the college for you. Want to live in high school and become one of the popular crowd? Enroll at CSS now, you may just be crowned prom KingQueen!
Overall 1.9
Do not go here. The res life staff treats students like they're 5 year olds, advisers will tell you to take classes you don't need, and they shut down everything every time there's a three day weekend. If you want to go to college in Duluth make the walk a few blocks over to UMD. Some staff at CSS is great and caring and others really suck.
Overall 2
CSS was the worst descison of my life because they say that you'll pay so much then raise tuiton prices and the food there is gross all they serve was chicken nuggets every single day and I got tired of it and the faculity isn't that nice and that this school I will never go back too and never let my kids attend here because of the bad experiences.

Bad choice on my part
