A Glimpse Into Laurentian Life
St. Lawrence students are academically ambitious, socially aware, globally conscious, and driven to help others—and these traits come alive every day on campus.![People kayaking](/sites/default/files/2021-05/Home-Sweet-Home-New.jpg)
Where is St. Lawrence?
St. Lawrence University is located in Canton, New York, a region commonly referred to as, "The North Country." We like to think of it as the best backyard ever. Whether it’s hiking, exploring local eateries, or volunteering in nearby communities, you’ll find plenty to do on our 1,000-acre campus.

They are surrounded by other people, some seated and some standing, with tables and booths in the background.

Sparking Conversation. Making Change.
With open hearts and minds, St. Lawrence students shape the campus experience by challenging the status quo through involvement in clubs and organizations.

Saints FTW!
One-third of Laurentians are varsity student-athletes, and every one of their friends, professors, and mentors are fierce, spirited supporters of the Saints.
