Meet Liam! And check out his Dorm Room
The dorms here at St Olaf are actually really nice, albeit a bit old. The 3rd and 4th floors of Melby Hall are the only technically "quiet" floors, but the entire hall has a reputation as a "quiet dorm" so its often easier to get harder-to-come-by rooms, like a triple, here! The only downside is a relative lack of social life and activity in the dorm. We also do have free washing and drying machines (and plenty of them).Holland Hall: Study Spots and Classrooms
Freshly finished after a $13 million renovation, Holland Hall is a beauty. Campus legend has it that this is also the building to meet your future significant other in! Housing our English, Social Work, History, Political Science, and many other departments, it has state of the art classrooms and a gorgeous design.Meet Nathan! And hear about his St. Olaf experience
Ahh, the font of knowledge : the library. From the complete Harry Potter Series to music production studio, the St Olaf Rolvaag Library is superbly equipped with everything you need to learn. My fellow pre-med student and cello master, Nathan, also shared his thoughts on life at St Olaf!Take a tour of Regents Hall
Regents Hall of Natural Sciences is an incredible building. Having all the sciences in one place makes for extra convenient class schedules, even if campus is only a 15 minute walk across. Built with massive windows, cute little study nooks, and top of the line labs and equipment, its an inspiring place to learn and study! Also, all the science professors' offices are here, making it very accessible to talk with them whenever. [Pro Tip: the old science library on the first floor has been converted into a huge study lounge that is heavily underutilized: skip the library when its packed and head here instead!] I also ran into my friend Kevin, and he shared his thoughts on life at St Olaf.I would like to receive updates and offers from CollegeXpress via email.
