Review of College of Saint Benedict

from rogers, mn

Describe your college in three sentences.

the college of saint benedict and saint john's university is a wonderful school. it has one of the most beautiful campuses, and being surrounded by about 6 lakes there's and hundreds of acres there's always plenty to do and to see. the student to professor ratio is low and allows for easy access to the professor, and they have a genuine interest in seeing their students succeed, and it's very easy to grow your professional network.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

if you plan on attending csbsju i strongly recommend it. there are a lot of great resources here, such as, career resource center, academic advising, and pretty much everyone one of your profs, and you should definitely take advantage of them. and try courses you're interested in, even if they don't go with your major.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

none of the courses are overly difficult assuming that you have interest in the topic, and you're willing to put in the work. some of the courses do require more work than others, but they are all rewarding to finish, and you learn so much in them. also the liberal arts aspect is nice because it gets you take courses you otherwise might not have.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

the freshman and sophomore dorms are close together and its very convenient to spend time with your friends, and visit their dorms. the junior and senior dorms are more spread out as there are more options. most people do abide by the unspoken open door policy, so if you're in your room, and not studying or something, just keep your door open. also if you have your door open at night the life safety officers will hand out free pizza coupons.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

the food at the reef is decent, but if you can eat at gorecki. if you need something fast then you have either sexton, or the other one at csb, but mcglynns is probably the best if you have time to head over there.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

there's so much to do at csbsju, they constantly have little fliers to show you all the events they have going on. there's usually something on friday or saturday night. on wednesday nights they have praise in the pub. there's countless clubs you can join, and if they don't have one you want, then you can create one. there are a ton of trails to walk on or run on. you can go finishing on the many lakes, or go swimming in lake sag. you can rent a bike or bring your own and bike between the campuses
