Our relationship with our brother school, St. John's University, is incredible. We have joint academics between the two colleges (classes are co-ed). We live in single gender residence halls, but I love that. I love being able to go home to a floor of all women at night, or simply hanging out with the "guys" over at SJU. Having the influence of the monastaries on each campus is part of our tradition, and it truly enriches our community. The values of the Benedictine way of life help us to live in community and truly learn to listen to ourselves. The Benedictine values remind us to have balance in our lives. We are not burdened down by Catholic teaching, nor is Catholicism upon any student. We have incredible wildlife sanctuaries at SJU. CSB/SJU has a rich heritage, with many of its buildings being National Landmarks. They are some of the first buildings in MN. CSB/SJU has some great new buildings for the sciences, auditoriums, student centers, sports facilities, libraries, residence halls, and business building. As the Student Body President, I strongly believe that CSB/SJU are great schools with incredible atmospheres.
