Winona Student Experience
So much to do, be, and become.
When you walk into a room full of strangers and feel instantly at home, you know you’ve found your people. That’s what it’s like at Saint Mary’s - a community that welcomes you, supports you, and finds ways to help you thrive. A community that will help you study and succeed. And who can tell you where to get the best late night pizza.
Community- The best part of campus life!
In Winona, living on campus means being part of a tight-knit community, opening the door to new friendships and connections that can last a lifetime. Campus life also offers a huge array of extracurricular activities and opportunities – including events, athletics, outdoor activities, campus ministry, and community volunteer activities.
You’ll find a variety of housing options on the Winona Campus, allowing you to live alongside your friends and classmates and deepen your relationships.
