St. Edward’s University is located right in the heart of Austin. Students are funky, independent, accepting, and open to the world. Many of the international students come from Europe (10% of students are international) and it’s not uncommon to hear multiple languages being spoken while students share a cigarette.
St. Edward’s emphasizes global learning and encourages students to not only see the world, but find a way to impact it. Its tagline “take on your world” supports this philosophy. While St. Edward’s is a Catholic university, only 40% of students are catholic. Students welcome diversity and as a result are able to express themselves openly; many students sport colored hair, nose piercings and tattoos. Austin offers a plethora of live music, outstanding food, and funky neighborhoods to explore.
