About SLU's Campus
If you鈥檙e thinking about attending Saint 浪花直播 University, one of the first things we suggest is to visit campus. That鈥檚 because there is something special about seeing SLU in person.
A view of SLU's clock tower and fountain, one of the most popular gathering places
on campus on warm days.
Scattered among our state-of-the-art classroom buildings and historic halls are reminders of what makes the 271-acres of SLU a community 鈥� the amphitheater at Lipic Clock Tower Plaza where students gather on warm days, the chairs clustered around a fire pit at Fusz Hall on cool nights and the touch-football games on green spaces around campus that break out spring or fall.
You鈥檒l feel our spirit in the cheers coming from Chaifetz Arena and in the ritual of Sunday Evening Student Mass. Run your hands down the same oak banisters brought to a gloss by generations of students before you and rub the bronze belly of the Billiken statue for good luck.
Someplace between posing for a picture in front of the campus gateways, testing out a hammock on the quad or hearing the St. Francis Xavier College Church bells toll, you realize you鈥檙e finally home.
