Saint Johns University Top Questions

When you step off campus what do you see?

One of the most unique things about this college is the dual-campus system. St. John's is located in a rural town called Collegeville, which is so small that it can hardly be considered a town. There are many farmers who work the land in the surrounding area. Coming from a northern Minnesotan town of 3,000, I really like the feeling of seclusion that our campus has in that respect. On the other hand, St. Ben's is located in the town of St. Joseph, MN, which is just outside of St. Cloud, MN. I would describe St. Joe as a quaint town with a tightly-knit set of small communities. It has an annual fall Arts Festival that is right outside St. Ben's campus, and my jazz combo has played there both fall semesters that I have attended here. I really like the small town feel of St. Joe, especially considering the size of my hometown. If you need to do some shopping, St. Cloud is less than a five-minute drive away, and it has everything you might need from Coborn's and Saver's to Coldstone Creamery and Noodles & Co.
