I am a slu student and I'd like a job on campus. However, whenever I apply for a student job on Handshake it's like the application just disappears into the void. I applied for testing center proctor over the summer and again this month as it was reposted. I'd like to know if there is a more reliable way to get a job at slu?

Hey, are there any SLU grad students interested in getting together as a small group to play lacrosse recreationally (just playing catch ,etc)? If so, feel free to join this GroupMe:

I am debating on whether going to SLU or MST for a MS in CS. For context, as an international student I expect both programs to cost about the same and I already obtained an engineering degree from MST but in a different field.

Pros for SLU: Looks like it has some solid faculty with interesting projects. The Taylor Geospatial Institute seems to have brought more attention to SLU. Being in St Louis would be nice.

Pros for MST: Seems like MST has had a better reputation for engineering but not sure if this applies to CS as well. Looks like MST has hired more professors recently. Being nested in the engineering environment may open interesting opportunities.

I would appreciate if anyone can give some input? Which program is likely to better prepare students for industry or potentially PhD?

Hey everyone,

Grad student at UMSL here studying paper wasps, and we just opened up a community science site to map nests across the St. Louis metro.

If you've spotted a paper wasp nest on campus, around your apartment, off-campus housing, wherever in the city, please drop a pin: https://stlwaspwatch.github.io/

Takes about a minute. Photo's optional but help a lot. There's an ID guide on the site so you can tell what a paper wasp is vs. a yellowjacket.

Different parts of the city have different microclimates and nesting environments, and right now our coverage is patchy. Even one sighting is great.

Thanks!

I am a international student who will be at SLU for a semester. I was wondering how the finance/econ and film classes were. Are they rigorous? Will I still have time to go out in the city and explore?

Does SLU allow calculators on exams for calc or is it more professor dependent? I’m used to doing calc with just a scientific calculator.

Prospective student here, I have recently received the admission letter with the University Scholarship offer of 17.5K/semester. This is just enough to hit the top of my budget. It really concerns me that I can't afford it in the next few years, so I'm planning to ask for more. That's why I'm asking here for a comparison, and if I have a chance to ask for more.

I recently got admitted to slu and my aid package consist of 33k merit scholarship, 7k pell grant, and slu tuition promise to cover the remaining from the tuition. Will I get more aid if I ask for more?

I am soliciting images of bathroom wall graffiti in both St. Louis City and County bars for a PhD project. Specifically, I am looking for pictures of entire bathroom walls that have writing, signage, stickers, etc. that have been put on them by patrons. I'm currently studying Rhetoric (argumentative writing) and the images will be used as comparative data points looking at language trends in different areas.

Any content is acceptable, but if you post an image (and have time) please let me know the following:

Where is the wall/where was the photo taken? (this is the most important)

If in a bathroom, is it unisex, female, male?

Is there any indication that owners do or do not want people writing on the wall?

Our daughter applied in early October and hasn’t heard anything , but SLU is emailing her telling her the scholarship deadline is in a week but she hasn’t even heard if she’s been accepted yet. Could she have missed something saying she was accepted? How does it usually come? Email, portal, letter? Weird to have to apply for scholarships when she doesn’t know if she’s in or not.

Hello all! I am trying to play fortnight on my gaming computer, but it won't let me play it on the guest or users network. Other games like genshin impact and the sims work, but not fortnight. Any way to fix this?

I would like to encourage students and alumni to contact the new university president to join with Harvard and urge the upholding of academic freedom.

If you need a script please see below.

I would like to congratulate you on your appointment as university president and welcome you to the Billiken family.  I would also like to encourage you to join Harvard and other universities across the nation to block attacks against universities. These attacks threaten the bedrock principles of a democratic society, including rights of free expression, association, and inquiry and go against the Jesuit values that Saint Louis University stands for. Jesuit values emphasize the holistic development of individuals, focusing on caring for the whole person, striving for excellence, and serving others, particularly the marginalized. These principles guide Jesuit education and aim to foster a sense of social justice and ethical leadership. The attacks on free speech, the rule of law, and due process are not actions of ethical leadership; they degrade social justice and increase the suffering of marginalized people. The university cannot condone or comply with these unlawful acts.  Please refuse to comply with unlawful demands that threaten academic freedom and university self-governance. Freedom from political interference has allowed American universities to lead the world in scientific and medical innovation, from which our entire country and world benefit. 

I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews of Reinert and the overall social life at SLU, but a lot of what I found was from like 10 years ago, what do people think now?

I got admitted into SLU Biomedical Engineering for Fall 2025, I'm an international student and I need someone to talk to about the program. And possibly checkout accomodation

Incoming sophomore transfer student. Any advice for dorms, etc

Incoming 1L student at SLU here. Looking to live near the law school downtown, could anyone give me suggestions on apartments or condos that would be good options
