Student Reviews

I didn't visit this school so coming in here, I was coming in with online reviews and pictures. So here's a summary about Saint Leo. It's a VERY catholic school, we have monks and nuns on this campus, so don't be surprised if you can't do certain things or get certain things approved. The campus is small and beautiful and there's about 2,500 kids, so if you like small environments, this school is for you. The food is a hit or a miss, more of a miss, they try, but i'm a picky eater so maybe that's why i'm complaining about, but so do other people. The teachers are interactive and they do care about you and your grades. Your counselors and success coaches will make sure you're taking the right classes and keep you on track, so you will always be taken care of in that sense. This school is cliquey, everyone has their group of friends. We're a D2 school and we're ranked #2, so the athletes here, take everything seriously. This school is very diverse, you will see every race and every country here, literally, I've met international kids from Brazil, France, Jamaica, Belgium, Poland, etc. People here go to bars and clubs in Tampa which is about 40 minutes away, we're in the middle of nowhere, know that now! We have fart parties every now and then, the party scene isn't the best unless you go out. Overall it's a 3 for me. I don't really know whether I love it or hate it yet.
Saint Leo is the school that abruptly grasps your attention with its beautiful scenery. But once you begin living the life as a student on their campus, you see what Saint Leo really is. Its nothing but a school of monotonous individuals; there's just not enough excitement.
I love my Saint Leo! You really do love the person that you become! The professors are great, if you ever need help ANYONE and EVERYONE is readily available to help assist you. (Take advantage of the learning lab.) Also, there are plenty of things to do on campus...GET INVOLVED!!
