I had a mostly positive experience at St. Edward's University and am grateful for the education I…read morereceived. However, I also went through a very serious incident that the university failed to address appropriately. While I was in the gym, professor Michael Farrell walked in and said: "I have a complaint. The h*es, b*tches, motherfers, and *n-words* playing music are unacceptable."* I immediately reported this to the school. Instead of taking decisive action, the administration had me meet with a staff member from Belonging, Equity, and Inclusion. She was kind and supportive, but it quickly became clear that the university's priority was for me to process my feelings -- not to hold Mr. Farrell accountable. The administration refused to give me updates on whether he faced consequences, and shockingly, I later saw him return to a campus event I was working at the very same semester. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. It was incredibly disappointing to see such harmful language and behavior treated so lightly. St. Edward's leadership had the chance to show that racism would not be tolerated on campus, but instead, they chose inaction. While I appreciated many parts of my time here, students deserve a university where they can trust that leadership will protect them from blatant racism.

Yes of course as a private school it can be an expensive place but if you're able to get some good financial help then it is def worth the price for your degree. The usually small classes that you register for are staffed with great, smart, knowledgeable and patient professors that love what they are doing. They will take the time to make sure that you understand and learn the information that they are trying to teach you. If you come to this great school, you will not be disappointing.

While I can't post about what it's like to go to college at UT (Austin), I can post about experiences I've had. The school which was founded in 1883 is recognized as a top college in the country. It often falls under the category of "the new Ivy League". I have been on campus for everything from protests, the annual Longhorn run, college & alumni-affiliated events, strolling the campus, and a few other things. It has always been a wonderful experience. Faculty, staff, and students alike all boasting their Longhorn pride. Hook 'Em Horns!!! What an extraordinarily beautiful campus for strolling from the lush greens to incredible architecture that's also stood the test of time. Sculptures and artwork adorn the campus throughout, there's always something new to see. Sunday strolls around the campus grounds are one of my favorite things to do.

She is such a dedicated, gifted, and generous educator. Her love of the language and teaching to others was infectious, and it motivated everyone in the class (which was needed because they were close to 4 hours a pop!). There were a wide range of ages in both classes from 18-60+ and we all felt inspired, challenged, and supported by her. I'm looking forward to taking more of her classes in the future!

I have gone there for physical ailments such as back pain and joint pain but also for depression as well. It is not a quick fix like western medicine, but keep with it and it works.

Disclaimer: This review is based on the school's involvement with the community-- I don't know much…read moreabout the school in terms of their academics or course/program offerings. I have been to two community events where this university served as the location: Curly Girls Picnic and the 2018 Keep Austin Beautiful volunteer afterparty. The open fields were well kept and nicely manicured, and the space is large enough to hold a number of tents (ranging in size), vendors and hundreds of guests. Parking is available in an adjacent gravel lot or on the street along side the field. There's also a street/drive up area near the fields, perfect for food truck vendors. Another way in which Huston-Tillotson serves the community is by getting their students involved in Austin area events. I attended a SXSW event this year and the volunteers at the door were students representing Huston-Tillotson. I've also been a longtime judge in a high school youth competition called ACT-SO, and this year our emcee was a student who also represented this university very well. Community service and outreach is something that is very near and dear to my heart, so it's always refreshing when I see companies, organizations and schools serving the communities in which they are apart of. That's school spirit! Fun fact learned from the Keep Austin Beautiful afterparty: Huston-Tillotson is the oldest university in Austin, TX.

It is almost the holidays and many students are still waiting for their refunds. The staff will continuously lie and evade when emails and calls are made to them concerning refunds! I don't know what these people are doing with money, but it doesn't look good, especially after that $150 million dollar endowment. Please do better HT, especially for those kids who are there to learn.

That aside, the new student orientation was very well organized and seamless!! I loved that they had incoming freshman partner up as roommates for the two day event. And upper classmates were everywhere assisting and directing during the event. Breakout sessions were informative and interactive which is a huge plus in my book. Students with registration holds were allowed to resolve them during the event and were offered assistance. The kids got to sample what their next four years would be like on campus. A huge benefit for kids traveling away from home for the first time

Their programs in communications, business, physical therapy, and geology/geography are particularly well thought of. I can't speak to the housing situation, but the campus itself is beautiful, with the hilly terrain, well landscaped areas, and the San Marcos river itself. And yeah, while it does have a rep as a party school, so does UT at Austin, and that doesn't seem to hurt anything. (grin!) If you're a parent considering this school for your kids, it's worth a visit at the very least.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a sea of beautifully styled, bright and beautiful fascinators and hats, each one more charming than the last. The attention to detail in everyone's attire set the tone for the afternoon - pastels, polka dots, and neon. The tables were a vision of loveliness - tiers of sweet treats that were as lovely to look at as they were to consume. Delicate pastries, dainty petit four desserts, and perfectly portioned confections paired in concert with the variety of teas offered. Laughter flowed easily, cameras came out often, and there was a shared appreciation for this tea tradition mixed with personal individualized styling. The hats and fascinators added a playful elegance. We truly felt like we were having an English High tea. In addition, the tables were a sight to behold...layers of sweet treats that delighted both the eyes and the palate. There were delicate pastries, dainty petits fours, and perfectly-sized confections, all beautifully coordinated with an array of teas. The sisterly atmosphere made the tea uniquely memorable. Laughter was flowing effortlessly; cameras frequently captured those unforgettable moments. The hats and fascinators brought a touch of playful elegance. It was a graceful convergence of fashion, sweetness, and sisterhood. The tea wasn't just about the food and drink, it was about connection and celebrating each together.
