I've committed to play ball at St Bonaventure, and everything about the recruiting process has been incredible. On my visit, everyone was so kind, and genuine, and really seemed to love this school. I'm not just talking the students, but the Uni staff, and people all over the town. I mean, people LOVE this school! On my flight home, wearing a Bonnies t-shirt at the airport/on the plane, half a dozen people called out to me "Bonnies!" The love is real.

St. Bonaventure University helped to shape the trajectory of my and provided experiences that I'll never forget or be able to replace. To be a St. Bonaventure Bonnie is to be loved by every single Bonnie that came before you and after you. We are the most passionate alumni base in America and I have zero hesitation saying that. No one loves their school, like Bonnies love their school.

I made lifelong friendships and in doing so, discovered a career path I had not previously foreseen for myself. The faculty then allowed me the freedom to re-shape my major into what I needed it to be to pursue those goals. I am forever thankful for that because, as a result, I spent the first decade of my career in my dream field, eventually reaching my dream job. None of that happens with St. Bonaventure.

I loved the friendly and welcoming environment at st. Bonaventure. There is a clear comradery between all the students and alumni. I've never felt unsafe during the time I spent there and I would highly recommend checking it out! the attention and help you will receive far surpasses that of any other school I've seen. The teachers are extremely invested in each and every student and the students are always trying to help one another. It's a D1 school so sports games are a must and the athletic facilities are outstanding. The campus is small but has a very beautiful view and well kept look, not at all institutional like many other schools which I have visited. Their ability to meet students need as far as tuition is out of this world especially for a private school. I hope this Helps anyone who's looking here. Bonnas is definitely worth your time!
