Saint Louis University (SLU) Campus

The Samuel Cupples House is an iconic landmark in the center of campus! We often refer to it as our Hogwarts House! This building also has an art museum in the basement, although offers no real purpose to students other than its aesthetic.

Just a few of the places around campus that are highly recognizable.

SLU is right in the middle of the arts district. This area is fantastic for consuming the culture of the city!

Although we don't have an officially recognized second quad, I felt it is important to show this area because of all of the different buildings around that are so important. Included in this video is a map that I drew up. enjoy! 😁

Welcome to the Quad! People are always out here throwing the frisbee or baseball around, relaxing in hammocks, or studying on the lawn! We also have our Christmas tree set up here during the winter!

I'd like to thank Meredith for sharing her opinion.

This is the Quad. Although it may not look like other quads, this is the officially recognized quad. In my next video, I include a map of campus that makes a bit more sense where the class buildings are. This is a popular spot for open community events and there are tables set out daily on the main walkway through campus where multiple organizations will set up. Just last week there was a rock wall!

This is the lower level of the Rec Center. Here we have a large array of workout machines ranging from free-weights, weight machines, cardio machines, and more! There is NO lack of equipment in this gym! If you are a heavy lifter, you will not have a problem! Also, no gym intimidation here: everyone does their own thing! This level also has rooms for dance classes!

The spots I wish I had been taken to on my tour.

Weather in St. Louis is all over the place! We get all four seasons! The winters are cold but not unbearable and we don't get a ton of snow. The summers are hot and humid but spring and fall are absolutely gorgeous. We have had days where it is 70 degrees one day and 30 the next so definitely bring layers!

This is by far my favorite building on campus! It is so beautiful and it is where the majority of my classes are. I must mention that there is often free food in the atrium when the school hosts events for students (basically weekly).

Campus ministry is very active on campus and offers an array of amazing services for students. Every Friday we have Java with the Jesuits which is an event that serves free Panera bagels, cinnamon rolls, bananas, yogurt, coffee, and hot chocolate. Campus ministry also bakes cookies in each of the residence halls on a specific day of the week!

Hear from Daniel about why he chose SLU, his major, and what he likes and dislikes about SLU! (Location: Grand Ave)

This is the Busch Student Center! As the name might suggest, this building is for everything related to students. The main reason I go to the BSC is to pick up packages and check mail, eat at the Billiken Grill (food tour) or Chick-fil-A/Panera/Mein Bowl. I also purchase all of my textbooks at the bookstore. Additionally, academic services are located here. This includes the writing center, career services, and student success services. Lastly, all of SLU's student-led organizations are housed in this building.

This is the iconic Clocktower! This is the center of campus where you can find a large sitting area, a ton of fountains, and great views of the campus. In the warmer months, the fountains turn on around the clocktower and by the steps!
