Our Campuses

At St. Thomas, students have the opportunity to live and learn on three campuses: St. Paul, Minneapolis and Rome (Bernardi). Our two main campuses are located in the heart of the Twin Cities.

Each campus has a different vibe, but overall, as a Tommie you get the classic college campus experience with the comfort of it being in a small neighborhood. Take our main campus located in St. Paul. It's nestled between the Merriam Park and Macalester Groveland neighborhoods, both of which are known for being safe, active and also not too far from two large cities. St. Thomas' main campus lies on Summit Avenue, the longest avenue of Victorian homes in the country. 

Living and studying in an urban environment such as downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul allows you to build professional connections and gain potential job opportunities at large corporations and local businesses. You also get to indulge in each city's art, food and entertainment scenes.
