VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Jenesca: [00:00:01] What are you looking for in a school? What do you want to graduate with? The skills, the techniques, but also just experiences. What person do you envision yourself to be through programming, the community and relationships? I've had to make space to grow now so that you can do good in this world.
Patrick: [00:00:17] I felt like I was at home. I hadn't really felt that at any of the other 12 schools that I had taken tours of.
Tristin: [00:00:24] SLU was the one school where every student I smiled at, smiled back at me.
Lydia: [00:00:28] There were some other schools that just didn't have that same atmosphere, and I almost immediately felt that.
Jahmal: [00:00:33] We're not just numbers here. Every student has the count.
Patrick: [00:00:37] I've been challenged throughout my four years to kind of grow as an individual.
Lydia: [00:00:41] I think for me, I found who I want to be. As cheesy as that is, I don't think I would have found that somewhere else.
Jenesca: [00:00:47] I wanted a community. I just walked around campus during the visit. Everyone was saying, “Hi, welcome to SLU”. It was a really easy decision once I visited. Everyone cares about how you're doing. Everyone cares about you as a person. And that was something I really wanted to be a part of. The people that I've been surrounded with at SLU, to live with.
Lydia: [00:01:04] Some of my best friends who have also just been amazing people.
Patrick: [00:01:07] The vibe here at SLU, you can be comfortable because you know that the next person is just as kind as you could want them to be.
Jenesca: [00:01:14] Passionate people on fire who want to make a difference in this world.
Jahmal: [00:01:17] It's refreshing, especially in the climate that we live in, constantly bombarded with the injustice of the world. And here I'm constantly surrounded by people who want to make a difference and a change.
Jenesca: [00:01:28] The St Louis community. It's a package deal when you come to SLU. Like you're getting the city to whether that's through service opportunities, through just fun activities. Going to the loop or a downtown Saint Louis College is a full experience. It's not just school and academics.
Lydia: [00:01:41] Each person is not just their major. I'm a well-rounded human being who cares about the community, who does service. We really push each other to be the best whole person we can be. I don't know who I would be at a different school because of the opportunities that I've had.
Tristin: [00:01:53] It does have that feeling of home and I hope you find it here at SLU.
