Balancing the emphasis placed on the individual, at St. Lawrence there is a strong sense of community, which is shared by students, faculty, and administrative staff. Several factors contribute to this quality of the University's life, among them its long tradition, location, its relatively small size and its shared point of view towards liberal arts education. Further, St. Lawrence's coeducational and residential character provides a natural social climate in which the student gains daily experience in dealing and living with others of varying backgrounds. The library houses a collection of over 500,000 books. Computer facilities are available to students in conjunction with most coursework.
