Parks College is the engineering, aviation, and technology college of St. Louis University. Many of the programs at Parks are ranked very high nationally and all take place in McDonnell Douglas Hall.

One of the greatest attributes Parks has to offer is that the faculty and the students provide a very fostering environment that assists in students' ability to learn the subject-matter. This same attitude is present in every area of SLU that I experienced and I believe can be attributed to the school's Jesuit heritage and small size.

However, the school's small size also has its negatives. Parks does not offer many graduate programs and because of this the overall research at the school is minimal. While many people are not interested in receiving graduate degrees in engineering and are only there for undergraduate studies, the undergraduate experience is limited because of the lack of graduate students. At other larger schools, the large quantity of research makes the engineering schools larger and more technologically advanced. Parks cannot offer these huge facilities that other schools have.

While there are some drawbacks to attending Parks college, there are also the many noted attributes. In the end, I would definitely recommend SLU and Parks as a great place to learn and a great place to grow.
