Visit Our World

Want to see our world?

SCSU CampusVisiting St. Cloud State University is the best way for you to see if your world fits our world. Wonder what St. Cloud State University is really like? Ask our students. They’re not shy. They’ll tell it like it is—and we’re confident you’ll like what they have to say. Do you already know which of our more than 200 majors, minors and pre-professional programs you want to study? While you’re on campus, sit in on a class—and even talk to a professor in your future area of study! You’ll be amazed how accessible—and friendly—our faculty members are.

Year-round, we offer student-guided tours and an admissions presentation every weekday. Saturday tours are available during the academic year. Our campus is close-knit, so even on a chilly day you can get around campus quickly!

During your campus visit:

  • Visit Atwood Memorial Center, our student center, and check out the huge wall map, prominently displaying the 80 countries our more than 1,000 international students hail from—as well as the 20 countries our study-abroad students have visited.
  • While you’re at Atwood, enjoy a bagel and a cup of joe from Einstein Bros. Bagels. Not into bagels and coffee? You’ll find something you like at one of the many food vendors housed at Atwood, including Pizza Hut, Subway, and Ultimate Baja, just to name a few!
  • Take a walk along the Mississippi River, which borders the campus.
  • Strap on some gear and try out the Mountain Dew Xtreme Climbing Wall in the Student Recreation Center.
  • Schedule your visit when our NCAA Division I men’s or women’s ice hockey teams are playing, or catch the Husky spirit by watching any one of our nine men’s or 10 women’s Division II sports teams.
  • Visit one of our nine residential communities and see what living on campus is all about.
  • Eat at one of the many restaurants or go shopping in the city of St. Cloud, which was recently ranked the 11th most family-friendly city in the nation by Reader’s Digest.
  • While you’re in the area, consider taking in a show or a sporting event in the Twin Cities—just about an hour’s drive from the St. Cloud State University campus.

What our students have to say...

“Other schools I visited, when you walk up to people, nobody says anything. When you’re standing in line, nobody talks to each other. But at St. Cloud State, it’s like a little town. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the person. Everybody is really outgoing here. You can get into a full conversation with somebody on the elevator. And next thing you know, they’re inviting you to go and eat with them. There’s always a connection.”
