Location

ELS/St. Paul is situated on the University of St. Thomas - Minnesota campus, located on the riverfront between St. Paul and Minneapolis. The University holds classes in both a residential area of St. Paul, as well as on the downtown campus of Minneapolis, and students are transported by a private shuttle bus to either campus. The unique ability to explore two campus locations provides students with a greater diversity of activities and opportunities. The two cities have a reputation for safety, cleanliness and low-cost living in a friendly Midwestern environment. The Mall of America retail complex is close by. St. Thomas enrolls over 10,000 students from the United States as well as over 500 students from 65 countries, representing every continent. St. Thomas ranks #113 in the National Universities category of the 2015 ""U.S. News & World Report's" "America's Best Colleges" survey. The University, a co-ed Catholic institution, is the state's largest independent college or university and the state's 16th-largest nonprofit organization.

The University of St. Thomas offers housing options in four apartment-style buildings and five single-sex residence halls with designated floors for a wide range of interests including First-Year Experience Communities, Women in Math and Science, Service Learning, Wellness Communities, and Catholic Women's or Catholic Men's Communities. Reasonable and appropriate housing options for physical accessibility are provided. While the University does not provide housing for graduate students, there is ample housing available in the surrounding residential area.

Student life

As Minnesota's largest private university, it's no surprise that students have big opportunities to make friends, pursue their passions, develop new skills and do good along the way. St. Thomas students get involved in over 150 clubs and organizations, and intramural and club sports. St. Thomas partners with companies and nonprofits, and our 115,000 alumni connect students with internships - completed by nearly two-thirds of undergraduates.
