Located in central Minnesota approximately 80 miles northwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Saint John's University is a private Benedictine liberal arts institution situated on 2,700 acres of woodland, lakes, and prairie. The campus features distinctive Bauhaus-influenced architecture, including the notable Marcel Breuer-designed Abbey Church, completed in 1961. The university, established in 1857 by Benedictine monks, operates in partnership with the College of Saint Benedict, a women's college located six miles away, allowing students from both institutions to share academic programs, facilities, and transportation services. While maintaining strong programs across the liberal arts, Saint John's is particularly recognized for its School of Theology and Seminary, environmental studies, and music programs. The university provides traditional residential housing for its all-male student population, with most students living in campus residence halls or apartments throughout their academic career.
