The Ek Family Village is a series of single-story, two-bedroom apartments. Four same-sex students share each apartment, and a total of 134 students reside there. The “Old Village" is situated among the trees on a portion of Saint Mary’s located across Highway 14, and this area is connected to the main campus by a safe footbridge. To live here, you must be of junior status or 21 years of age. The Old Village enables students to experience apartment living while maintaining the benefits of living on campus.
