“From day one here, literally, open door policy. I could just stop in and talk to any of my professors at any point in time and feel totally comfortable and supported. They were just always there and truly wanted you to succeed.”
Brandi Marticoff ’25, MS in Speech-Language Pathology
"You really do get to know a lot of different people. The class sizes are small and you can pretty much talk to everyone in that classroom. You won't feel like you're by yourself. You learn about different people and form really good bonds."
Jair Hernandez '25, BS in Mechanical Engineering
"I think no matter you know where you come from or who you are, St. Ambrose is welcoming and accepting and just showing guidance, support, and love. St. Ambrose is supportive. It's rewarding and it's welcoming. I really did appreciate just the environment here, the culture, and the diversity that's on campus."
Tre Moss '25, Master of Social Work
