“I love Saint Peter’s small‑city‑Jesuit vibe, how easy it is to get close with professors and classmates while still being steps from the Hudson and a short commute to NYC, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the limited on‑campus parking, the sometimes‑slow‑paced campus life on weekends, and the way the small‑size could make everything feel a bit repetitive were all more noticeable once I stopped just visiting and started living there.”
