SLU is an awesome place to go to school! I am only a freshman here, but I have enjoyed by first year so much! Everyone is extremely nice, and it is easy to find a friend group! The campus community is very close, I will say that must be partly due to the fact that off of the campus there isn't much to do! St. Lawrence has great relationships with their alumni, and offers amazing help in career services! Overall, I love it here!
St. Lawrence is truly a family tight unit. It small structure in size does not match up to its full potential. The employees here at SLU invest so much of their time into the students so that we can all get the degree and education we want. There is so many various clubs, athletics and activities to do. The alumni connection branches to all parts of the World which makes this small family into an even bigger one!
Besides the new dorm that was built after I left, the dorms on campus can be charitably described as decrepit. The freshman dorms were built during the 1950s and '60s, and it seems as if the college hasn't done a thing to them since. The suites have a bit of a stench of pot and cheap booze, and have definitely seen better days, and the senior townhouses are trashed on a weekly basis due to partying. Sykes was nice once, but now is starting to almost literally fall apart. Dean-Eaton is a complete dump of an eyesore, absolutely REEKS of marijuana, has toilets that back up with an alarming degree of regularity, and should be demolished and replaced with something less trashy and sketchy. Theme houses are in various states of disrepair, and "off-"campus apartments (which are actually on the periphery of campus) are a sadistic joke. Oh, and true off-campus housing is virtually non-existent. But I hear the new dorm that opened about a year and a half ago is nice. It actually has more than one or two bathrooms per floor!
