Best of St. Olaf College

Uber Safe and Healthy!

I feel extremely safe at St. Olaf. It is a community built on trust and respect. For example, our mailboxes have no locking mechanism, and it is very common for students to leave their backpacks lying around outside of the cafeteria.

Great Student Center!

St. Olaf provides one of the greatest student centers I've ever been in: not only is it conveniently located, but it's also very aesthetically pleasing. It is large and has many open spaces, and it contains a cafe, dining hall, mailboxes, study spaces, the student run club, the chapel and the main library. Buntrock commons, the student center, is not the only exciting facility available: almost all buildings have great, modern study spaces with comfy couches and chairs. There's also plenty of computer labs with both Macs and PCs, cafes, a great new science library, a roof garden study space, gyms, a greenhouse, an art gallery, a movie theater and a rock climbing wall.

Dinig Hall

Few would argue against the fact that they offer some of the best food around the country.
