When you ask a SLU student why they chose Saint Louis University, the answer almost always involves their visits to campus. It isn't just the campus tour leaders who welcome you in, or the students you happen to meet throughout the day who encourage you to be a Billiken. It's a feeling you get that you fit here. That you are home.

faculty members that I would work with, I almost immediately felt like family here,
and I knew that they would support me in whatever I did.”
