“Welcome Week was a blast and full of activities that helped me get to know STU. The week helps you find friends and get to know campus as your new home, and not just as your new school.”

Quyen Truong
Vietnam

“I want to study in different areas and at St. Thomas, I can take Psychology, Philosophy, and Art at the same time. STU is really strong in social sciences and humanities, and I liked the idea of a small university because I was coming from so far away with a different language.”

Tyrique Hamil

“It’s hard to pinpoint the thing I love most about STU, but something that stands out is the ability to customize my degree to what I’m interested in.”

“I was surprised by the diversity of STU’s international community. I became friends with many new people and learned a lot about different countries and backgrounds. This  broadened my perspective on various issues and gave me countless memories that I will cherish from the place I call my second home.”

Sofia Paura
Brazil

"I fell in love with STU and the idea of having small-sized classes and the freedom to study different things while still learning about journalism, so I decided to come to STU. I honestly don't think I can pick a favourite thing about being a STUdent—I love how pretty our campus is, how informative and accessible the classes are, how supportive the community is, and how I learn so much every day."
