Whether you’re dropping your first child off at college or your last, moving them into their residence hall draws bittersweet emotions. At St. Ambrose University, parents of first-year St. Ambrose students are confident in their child’s choice to pursue a degree at a university where they know they’ll be supported in the classroom, in their sport, and anywhere they step on campus.
“St. Ambrose was the best choice, the very best choice. It's a beautiful campus. Everyone here is warm and welcoming, and Charlie is very excited to be here. And that helps us too, as parents. The camaraderie, the way people speak to each other, the way people are always trying to help one another. I love that about this place.” - Amee Setter, Colona, IL
“Mitchell is our oldest son and our first one off to college. Since he’s decided that St. Ambrose was going to be home, he's had a great support system from the school itself. It puts our minds at ease as parents that we're sending him here.” - John Murphy, Dubuque, IA
“Student orientation and his volleyball visit were super welcoming and warm. Carter instantly fell in love with St. Ambrose so I think it's going to be a great fit for him. The school being Catholic and faith filled is important to him. He really connected with the smaller community, and the volleyball coach was great." - Lyn Zelnis, St. Louis, MO
“This is one of the schools that he liked because when we were just walking on campus talking to people Brody felt right at home right away. First time out the gate he said, ‘Hey Dad, this is it. This is where I want to go.’ So, I'm really happy for him.” - Daniel Schmidt, Dubuque, IA
“I think St. Ambrose is a good fit for Cooper. This is a very friendly environment. The communication from the school has been great so far.” - Jessica Wynn, Oswego, IL
"I'm excited for Hayden to be at St. Ambrose. He seems to have the right opportunities and the staff seems to be very helpful and friendly. I think he'll do well with that. We looked at schools all over the area, but this was the best fit for him.” - Michael Nelson, Davenport, IA
“We were here for the orientation, and we really had a good impression during that. It feels like a safe place and a good place for Julia to be. This school really suits her well.” - Jason Ehrnthaller, Rutland, IL
