My professors did not treat me as if I were another face in the crowd; the University had a very intimate and compassionate culture, which I feel bigger schools lack. Saint Xavier really wants their students to do well, not just in school but in life. They are constantly offering scholarships, internships and career opportunities. They offer students help with their resumes as well as tutoring opportunities.
