About
Founded in 1818, Saint Louis University is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious Catholic institutions. Rooted in Jesuit values and our pioneering history as the first university west of the Mississippi River, SLU offers more than 13,500 students a rigorous, transformative education of the whole person. At the core of our diverse community of scholars is our service-focused mission, which challenges and prepares students to make the world a better, more just place.
Saint Louis University has two campuses — a flagship in St. Louis, Missouri and a campus in Madrid, Spain .
Located in the middle of the city that shares its name, SLU's main campus is walking distance St. Louis’ performing arts center, Cortex Innovation District (a key reason St. Louis is among the top start-up cities in America) and Prospect Yards, a new urban social and business hub. An easy drive from more than 300 cities, SLU offers tour options that allow you to see campus in a day, or spend an entire weekend getting to know the city of St. Louis.
Our campus offers 12 residence halls and on-campus apartment complexes, 120,000 square feet of space to work out and compete at our Simon Recreation Center , 15+ dining options, including a state-of-the-art dining hall, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Starbucks and St. Louis Bread Company and 3 museums: Saint Louis University Museum of Art, Historic Cupples House & Galleries, and the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art.
At Saint Louis University, we believe in educating the whole person. We are not only concerned with your mind, but your heart, body and spirit. It’s why our campus is rich with opportunities to get involved — to encourage you to become more complete, more balanced, more you.
With student organizations ranging from Active Minds, a mental health advocacy organization, to Zeta Tau Alpha, one of the many Fraternity and Sorority Life options at SLU, there's something happening on campus day and night.
Students often tell us that they choose SLU because it feels like home. Our supportive community of fellow students, faculty and staff sincerely care about your physical, mental and spiritual well-being. See what support exists for you — and how you can assist others. You might be surprised about what you discover about yourself in the process.
Your path to an inspiring future filled with self-discovery, lifelong connections, and transformative experiences starts right here. At Saint Louis University, you’ll be empowered to match your personal interests with your academic passions. Your dynamic student experience will help you meet your educational goals—even those you haven’t yet imagined. Take a look at all that SLU has to offer, and learn what it truly means to be a Billiken.
