We're Here with You for All Your Moments

In between classes, in the evenings, on the weekends and every moment in between, our campus is full of activities to keep Huskies healthy, engaged and safe. Each of our residential communities has its own personality and appeal from a traditional residence hall to the more independent apartment-style living, and with St. Cloud located about one hour away from the Twin Cities students can have access to all of the amenities of a metropolitan area.

From a constant flow of cultural events to community organizations and even intramural sports, there's always something exciting and rewarding to do at St. Cloud State.
