    Campus Safety

    Highly safe! From what I've heard, there has been no hazardous instances on campus.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are looking for a small school, then Aquinas is for you; however, Aquinas College makes you feel welcome and a part of the community; you are not just another college student there.
    What to do for fun

    Aquinas is close to downtown Nashville, so there is never a dull moment.
    Food and Dining

    There will soon be dining on campus, but for now there close places to dine in at for a quick boost! Plus, Starbucks is right down the road!
    Dorm Life

    Pack only what you need! Rooms are small at Seton Lodge, but we are having high hopes in the new dorms in Fall 2016!
    Academic Rigor

    Teachers push you for academic excellence, but will help in any way if you are having trouble in the class.

    Dorm Life

    Not a lot of rooms, but they are nice.
    Academic Rigor

    Their nursing program is amazing!
    In three sentences

    I love it here. It is a very close knit school, and small, so if you don't like that then this school isn't for you.

    It is a catholic school so if you are uncomfortable praying before every class and being taught by nuns... this isn't for you. BUT I LOVE IT!
    Food and Dining

    I haven't had any of the food yet.
    Dorm Life

    I do not live on campus
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips would be to study hard for the program you want. If you don't get in the first time, try again. If you love small campuses, you will love Aquinas.
    In three sentences

    So far, everyone seems really nice and helpful. I love that the campus is small and easy to find your way around. I believe I have a bright future with Aquinas College.

    Campus Safety

    As a very small school we know everyone. People leave bags and computers in the lounge or in hallways and they are never bothered. We do have security but it's incredibly safe.
    Greek Life

    There is no Greek life on campus.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are looking for an older population or want a degree in nursing, education or religion Aquinas is great. Most of the students are between 23-50 years old, not the typical 18-22.
    Bang for the buck

    The nursing program is expensive but worth the education.
    What to do for fun

    Aquinas is slowly getting more activities but most options come from the Catholic programing or small students groups.
    Food and Dining

    There is no cafeteria on site. We have a cafe that is super cheep but we can walk to the hospital cafeteria next door and many students actually go and study there.
    Dorm Life

    There are currently only a handful of students who live in Aquinas dorms in a neighboring facility. They are working to expand campus housing but it is really a commuter school.
    Academic Rigor

    The nursing programs are competitive and very difficult but we have a fantastic reputation with surrounding hospitals and a very high NCLEX pass rate.
    Tips for prospective students

    Know that Aquinas doesn't have the traditional college atmosphere. This is a very small school so extra-curricular options and elective classes are very limited but the nursing programs, education programs and religion degrees are worth it if that is what you are looking for. And t is a Catholic school so there is mass available daily.
    In three sentences

    Aquinas is great for older student and non-traditional students. It is starting to get a much broader first-time student population as well. Aquinas is not well known but it has an amazing reputation in nursing and I know my degree will go far.

    What to do for fun

    What fun? It's nursing school! :-)
    Academic Rigor

    It's tough! Grab a buddy support system and get through it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved in a steady study group to help keep you on track and up-to-date on study topics and deadlines.
    In three sentences

    I am so proud to be a student of one of Nashville, TN's best nursing RN programs! We have the most clinical hospital hours, fantastic instructors, and an amazing class of students. At Aquinas College, the motto is - no one gets left behind, everyone is encouraged to join a study group, ask for help, ask another if they need help.

    If you are Catholic you can go to Mass everyday and confession once a week.
    Bang for the buck

    I have attended Aquinas College in Nashville for 2 degrees and enjoyed my experience so much, that I am wanting to attend again in the Fall 2012 for my Masters degree.

    Keep an open mind even if your not Catholic. Take advantage of all the learning opportunities that you will be given.

    Relatively small, faith based, and committed to helping students accomplish their dreams. You will leave here and feel great about your educational experience.

    Great for these types of students

    Campus Safety

    We have 24 hour campus security that really is great especially when you need somebody to help with car problems or directions. It is like having an uncle on campus.
    Greek Life

    Aquinas is starting that this year FA 2012
    Clubs and Activities

    Business club is a strong very active group. The activites provided by student affairs is fun and interesting.
    Great for these types of students

    Faith based such as christians, catholics and followers of God.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The student affairs is always having a celebration for regular holidays and celebrating many unique accomplishments in the surrounding community.
    Bang for the buck

    The value is with the professors and the resources available to each student.
    What to do for fun

    There are intramural sports, clubs, and social activities to keep what spare time you have entertained.
    Food and Dining

    The food available is very healthy and the surrounding areas have many choices as well.
    Dorm Life

    The student dorms are starting this next school year FA 2012 and hoping that will encourage many to attend a faith based college and apply those values in everyday life while learning.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics are very difficult at times but the extra help provided through services at school allows one to overcome those challenges.
    Tips for prospective students

    One tip is to have a self known idea of who you want to be and then become it with the ones that are surrounding you in your life. Aquinas College is a school that nurtures ones ideas and enjoys their students as people rather than a student.
    In three sentences

    Attending Aquinas College has just been a blessing in my life. Learning is such a fulfilling experience but the best part is having a personal relationship with God and knowing that the staff and students care about the same values as I do. The values of integrity, truth and faith.
