What Students Say?
Likes
- The course I choose is available at limited colleges only and this college has a really good name. The expenses at the place is economical and budget friendly. Moreover I also got the scholarship. These reasons made me to choose this university.
- First thing about the positives of the college that I like is the location. The college is located at the centre of the city which makes it easy to commute. The curriculum provided by the college is really flexible and the staff are really friendly. There are very supportive international ambassasdors to help you to customize your courses. One really good thing about the Saint Louis University is they provide free cabs to the students who live around the campus after 6:00 pm.
Dislikes
- One bad thing about Saint Louis University is its crime rate.Since it is located near the downtown, one should be really careful at the surroundings. The other thing I dislike about this college is the fee waiver. In other colleges if you get a TA position, your fee will be waived for that semester but in SLU, we don't have that kind of fee waivers. Apart from these, I feel the college is really good.

It's a good experience overall for me. Coming to the flexible classes, college placements, economical life style and for many other reasons I feel its really good.
Course Curriculum
Course curriculum is really flexible. Coming to my course which is MS in Information Systems, we discuss many real life scenarios of different companies and their strategies etc. We have given a good amount of research experience as we are supposed to choose a company and need to do our research on different aspects of the company.
Exams
I took my Duolingo. I scored 125 in that. For this specific college GRE is waived off. So all you want is an English proficiency test, it might me Duolingo or TOEFL or IELTS. We need to submit the Sop and 3 LORs to get the admit. I have included some points about my undergrad project. I was told that there will be a interview round, but I haven't got any call for the interview and given the admit directly.
Placement
Unlike India, here I haven't seen companies mass recruiting students by visiting campus. So everyone will have their own struggle later on. But right now the scenario is not so good.
Internship
No. I'm planning to do in the next semester.
Fees
Total fee for my program is 8000$ per semester which is 32,000$ for the entire Masters program.
Scholarship
Anyone applying to SLU is directly eligible for the college scholarship which is given based on their undergrad CGPA. I have given 5000$ of scholarship for my entire masters program.
Faculty
Faculty is really friendly. They are available all the time to the students through mail and faculty shows good interest even to meet the students one on one to clear the doubts.
Campus Life
There are lot of events going on the campus 365 days. Especially all the Indian festivals are celebrated in the campus by the international ambassadors. College is surrounded completely by free WiFi. It also got all the required amenities such as library, gym, pool, gaming zone, research labs, etc.
Hostel
The rental options are really economical in Missouri. An average 2 bed room unit costs between 1000$ to 1400$.
