Saint Louis University (SLU) Campus

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!

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!

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.

This is the second floor of the Rec Center! Here you can see our swimming pool, various workout machines, indoor track, and basketball courts.

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 Busch Student Center or BSC is definitely a place you will be at frequently on campus! Inside this building we have the mail room and mail boxes, the bookstore, information desk, K-SLU (our radio station), and plenty of food options. As far as food, there is St. Louis Bread Co. (Panera), Chic-Fil-A, Panda Express, Greens-To-Go, a mini market, and the Bill Grill. The Bill Grill has a very large menu with some options that allow you to use meal swipes instead of flex dollars. The BSC also has a lot of space for studying!!

This is the place to go for ALL of your SLU apparel! We have everything from T-shirts, to sweatpants, to mugs, to folders! Be on the lookout for sales because the clothes can be pretty pricey! In addition, the actual bookstore is on the level below.

This is the St. Francis Xavier College Church! This is a stunning church with a ton of beautiful stained glass windows inside. There is a 9 PM student mass on Sundays that is open to people of all faiths and it is always full! A must see!

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!

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).

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

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.
