Raft U
An oh-so-small branch campus of the
College of Saint Benedict & Saint John's University.

Hop Aboard!

Four sides. Four years.

Students at the College of Saint Benedict (CSB) and Saint John's University (SJU) don't actually go to college on a raft. However, we do have a raft at our on-campus beach, and the CSB/SJU experience is a lot like a raft.

The raft's four sides become the four years of your college experience. And, like a raft, our campuses overflow with activity and friendships and lifelong memories. We're a special place where students jump headfirst into academic challenges, artistic endeavors, global adventures, community service, athletic competition, internships and research. Dive in and swim on out to the raft!

Our unique partnership of two colleges, 3,800 full-time students, residential  campuses, interactive classrooms, and a commitment to engaged learning make CSB/SJU the perfect springboard from which our students dive into the depths of  a great college experience. The raft’s four sides become the four years that shape the CSB/SJU experience.  Students are compelled to fill their years with academic challenges, artistic endeavors, global adventures, internships, research, community service, and athletic competition. Dive in and swim on out to the raft!
