College of Saint Benedict & Saint John's University

Residential housing, based on year in school, emphasizes women's leadership with programming that nurtures the intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of young women.  Through a four-year residential program, nearly all students live on campus, enjoying a vibrant atmosphere for personal growth and discovery.

The CSB/SJU Libraries serve the combined student body with a joint staff and coordinated programs and services. We are pleased to be active partners in teaching, learning and scholarship for our students, faculty, and visitors. The CSB/SJU Libraries support the development of critical thinking, personal inquiry, creative expression, and lifelong learning. 

Every residence hall has a computer cluster with access to the same applications as those in classrooms, labs and access areas. Computer access areas are available for student use seven days a week, with modern PCs and laser printers. Wireless access is available in all academic buildings including both libraries, most campus outdoor green spaces and all of the residence halls and apartments.

The idea of a balanced, fulfilling life is not new toCSB/SJU. Under the overarching Benedictine values of our founders, CSB and SJU have historically focused on providing transformative experiences that enable students to develop their own intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical qualities to their fullest potential. A wide variety of approaches to wellness exist for students
