Saint Vincent College - Latrobe, Pennsylvania

Br. Francisco Whittaker

I first came here for college in 2015 and immediately loved it. Never left, now I live here as a monk. If you're interested to know more about St. Vincent and what being a monk is like, check out a podcast that I host - All Good in the Brotherhood.

People are lovely. It takes more than lovely people to create a great college. Although they do their best to help connect students with financial aid, this school is extremely expensive. As with any college/university, there will be poor professors, just maybe more here than I've encountered elsewhere. My son is studying here, but he will not be returning in the fall. We can find financial aid opportunities, we can get tutors to compensate for sub-standard professors. We cannot do ANYTHING about racial insensitivity. My son and his friends have endured everything from racial slurs to aggression while attending this school. As pleasant as the scenery is, I would not encourage any person of color to attend this institution.

Great Campus and staff. The tour was very thorough, and informative. The athletic dept. is full of great people, and very knowledgeable. Our tour guide was awesome, and the football staff was great. Awesome campus.

If I could give St. Vincent College less than one star I would. I would never attend this college nor will I recommend that anyone attend this college, for various reasons, but one in particular. A dear friend of mine is currently attending this retched school for a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering. In the past 6 months, he has lost his job, lost friends, and almost had his credit score hit the tank. He is an exceptional individual who is admired by staff in the CIS department and his peers. UNFORTUNATELY he is coming up four credits short, for a LEVEL 100 COURSE to graduate. He has gone as far to meet with everyone that he can humanly get a hold of, and NOT ONE staff member, or administrative member has helped one bit. In fact, he was unable to register as a senior last year, BY NO FAULT OF HIS OWN, which has essentially landed him in the position that he is in now. St. Vincent didn't even recommend a CLEP examination to finish those credits, they did not go over his options, and he is not being treated fairly.

I would like to now take a moment to tell the story of a friend of his, who I have met once, that is now going to be graduating on time, due to favoritism and fluffing of her grades. This friend has staff members, passing her with a C just to get her through school, just because she has had some "emotional trauma" this year. I am certainly aware that stress and trauma can effect a person's work ethic, and general well being. HOWEVER it is unacceptable that one student who has gone through emotional stress, who has put in little work, and is graduating on time out of pity, can slide on by while a hard working, contributing member of St. Vincent College, has to suffer, for a LEVEL 100 course, worth 4 credits. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS IS MORALLY RIGHT. I understand that there is a system in order. HOWEVER I would like to put this out there, so maybe more people will do a little bit of investigation as to why one student graduating is more important than another.

This is one of the best campuses in the country. One of the things that make it so great are the Monks. I've never felt closer to God before in my life.

This school is ridiculous, everything you do here cost an insane amount of money to attend tuition is nearly 50k, parking pass is 93, food over breaks (since they don't feed students who stay on campus during breaks) is nearly 10 every time you eat, and the boots get thrown out left and right which are 93 a piece and they won't take it off unless they get their money! This is not a catholic school its HELL!!!! Ive never met a worse case of money hungry people in my life! DO NOT GO HERE!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!! You'll spend double what you pay to attend. Trust me! I hope all employees, excluding teachers, rot in hell at this god forsaken place!!!
