About St. Lawrence
Nestled in New York’s North Country and just 20 miles from the Canadian border, St. Lawrence University is a collaborative community of learners who value thought and action.
We embrace the adventurous spirit of our students.
Since our founding in 1856, we’ve empowered students to climb as high as the mountain peaks towering through the Adirondack region.
St. Lawrence University students aren’t afraid to ask questions, take risks, or go off the beaten path. More than half our students pursue more than one area of study, and 99% embark on real-world learning experiences; faculty-mentored research, alumni-connected internships, mission-driven service work, and off-campus study, to name a few.
Your trail begins here.
Supported by passionate professors, dedicated staff members, and a community of caring peers, our students live and learn on a beautiful, tree-filled campus–from here, anywhere is possible.
