I wish I would have gone to another university. The staff was disrespectful. They don’t offer health insurance but require it. They put you through so much mental anguish yet don’t provide you with student health insurance to fix the damage they have caused on your body and mind. The counseling center only offers a few visits per semester which isn’t helpful. I regret going to this program and I hope the person reading this chooses another university and saves themselves the sanity.
St. Ambrose was a wonderful institution and I would not trade the educational experiences that I received for the world. The small class size provided an immense amount of support and attention and I felt that there was no way I could fail in that environment. My professors were invested and caring and the content was relevant and timely in all my classes.
