As an alumni of St. Peter's it is my pleasure to share this comment on the concern this college emmits on the student body to promote the best possible outcome for the education experience. I enjoyed my time at St. Peter's, and wish I had pursued my Masters degree there. The staff was there for the students making sure that no stone was to great to be removed from the path to their success. Public Policy/Urban Studies (BS)degree
