great reputation and well-respected
Overall 4.8
I really enjoyed this school after attending orientation. If youre an introvert like I am its best to avoid large groups or everyone here altogether. Other than that Im completely in love with this school and cant wait till I move in. The academics are excellent and the faculty are brilliant. They really made me feel welcomed and helped me out
Overall 4.6
I absolutely love this school. In high school, I had absolutely ZERO school pride, but Thomas More University is a thriving community paired with a small campus (that is in the process of expanding) which is impossible to not love. The reputation is amazing regionally, and the courses are very rigorous compared to other local institutions.

I seriously love Thomas More, it is extremely respected around the community and seen as a top school because of its rigorous programs. My biggest advice for incoming students is: you HAVE to know how to say no here. So many colleges focus on getting you into clubs, sports, etc... but classes here are INTENSE so be sure they are the first priority

There have been a lot of changes to the websites recently which have caused some confusion, but those changes were for the better. The campus is small, but there are still a surprising number of good, quiet places to study. I haven't ran into any professors that haven't been super nice. Overall, I'm so glad I came here!

I was initially hesitant to attend TMC (became TMU the next year), but the manageable size, great reputation, and proximity to home made it much better than a state school like UK. Tuition was expensive, but that was made up for by extremely generous aid awards. The student culture is fantastic, and (almost) every professor is amazing.
Overall 4.3
Thomas More is a great school for students looking to form personal connections with professors and peers. There are so many clubs and activities if you are looking to get involved, and if there isn't a club that perfectly suits you, it is fairly easy to kick start your own! You HAVE to get involved if you want a fun college experience here.

Even though its a small college its a great one! Professors are helpful and care, classes arent to bad and the community is awesome! I LOVE IT HERE
Overall 4.2
Attending TMC was one of the best decisions I ever made. The education, the responsibility and the lessons I learned still pay off 10 years later.
Overall 4.1
I love Thomas More. There is always something to do on campus wither it be a activity that the school has put on or one of the clubs that is doing an activity. You will never be board when trying to relax. The Professors are wonderful, they always ask how your classes are going and if you need any help with anything that is going on. GO SAINTS!!!!!

no tuition lock, changes protocols all the time, NOTHNG IS GUARANTEED, thought you graduated on time? maybe, maybe not, luck of the draw, because you may have to fit in this sudden GE that didn't exist before. also everyone is told something different. no one is in charge of this university, they make it up as they go. hope you don't get screwed!

Nothing special. VERY slim pickings in the electives department.

It's only about the name for when you graduate.

I was told that I would have great career opportunities by going to private school. Now I know that I would have had $50,000 less debt and the same opportunities by going public. Professors were great but too many decisions were based on politics. The school throws away millions of dollars on wasteful projects instead of funding education.
