We’re the first to admit St. Ambrose isn’t for everyone. It’s not for those who want to get lost in the crowd, who want huge lecture halls and a 15-minute walk to campus.

Classes are small and your professors will know your first name. With 2500 undergraduate students, and close to 1400 living on campus, it’s nearly impossible to walk across the Bishop's Quad without seeing people you know. 

The good news is that you’ll make friends quickly, and being in the Quad Cities, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy.

Play A Part
With more than 50 student clubs and organizations, it's easy to find other people doing what you want to do. And if you can't find it, start it yourself! You'll find a whole team of support in your professors and advisors. 

Making the Play
All of our nine men's and nine women's varsity athletics teams are highly respected in their conference. Our football and basketball teams consistently win their conference finals and go on to nationals. And if you're a sports lover who's looking to pick up a game, St. Ambrose has a wide array of intramural sports (including PlayStation 2 tournaments). 

Crash in Comfort
When you're tired from a hard day of classes and extracurricular activities, or just want to hang out with your friends, you'll have your home away from home. Known as the best college housing in the Midwest, St. Ambrose's residence halls feature large rooms with cable TV and high-speed Internet access, kitchens, private bathrooms and even housekeeping services. (Now you don't even get that at home!)

Deepen Your Faith
Among the most important things to explore at St. Ambrose is your own spirituality. Through retreats, interfaith celebrations and service-learning activities, you'll have ample opportunity to examine what your faith means to you and how the values that are important to you can be lived out everyday.
