Assistance is available in locating affordable, convenient living accommodations for those who prefer to live off campus. O'Keefe Library, new in 1996, provides students with abundant comfortable study areas. Numerous computer labs provide access to the latest technology. Student recreational facilities include a gym, indoor pool, and weight room. Galvin Fine Arts Center hosts a season series of plays, live performances, and concerts, which are free to students.
Plans are underway for a major new student center.
For International Students Students come from more than twenty different countries with various religious and ethnic backgrounds. St. Ambrose University is small enough to provide students with individual assistance when they want it but large enough to allow for individual freedom. An international student adviser is available immediately to help students with academic advising, cultural orientation, social activities, and immigration concerns. The adviser also assists the international students when dealing with other offices on campus. St. Ambrose University's goal is to cater to the individual needs of the student.
