How Did You Hear about Saint Peter's College?

While still in high school I knew I wanted to attend a small private college in an urban area. Saint Peter’s College seemed to be the perfect fit for me. When I came to the USA almost 4 years ago it took me a while to adjust to the new way of life which I encountered. However, I came with an open mind and inclination to accept the new culture on its own terms. That has helped me a lot in my transition to a whole new lifestyle.

What Do You Like Best About SPC?

In my opinion the two strongest assets of Saint Peter’s College are its size and proximity to New York City. The classes are small and students can get personal attention from their professors. Also, the college is located only 15 minutes by train from the heart of NYC which offers a lot of opportunities for a fabulous career or a fun night out.

The Jesuit education is what makes Saint Peter’s College different from many other small private institutions in the USA. In the true nature of the Jesuit ideal “cura personalis” (care of the entire person) you get to meet people who are willing to help you excel and become a better person. And if you are ready to embrace the challenge of Saint Peter’s College you are likely to graduate with much more than a top-class bachelor’s degree.
