Saint Xavier University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Saint Xavier University
- Reviewed on: April 25, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- At Saint Xavier I have gotten to know my professors very well and as a result, I've received a top education a lot of one-on-one support. I was a nursing major, and the nursing program was very cutting edge and demanding. The extra support I got from my professors and the practical experience I got really made all the difference in my performance.
