International Students
Throughout the years there have been International students at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's Univeristy (CSB/SJU). Currently, there are more than 140 International students at CSB/SJU from 15 different countries including The Bahamas, Brazil, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Japan, Macau, Poland, Hong Kong, Rwanda, Taiwan, Trinidad & Tobago and Vietnam.
These students (past and present) have (and continue to) contribute to our school's diverse atmosphere. Through participation in the various events on our campuses, International students are given the opportunity to present aspects of their own culture while experiencing another. This enhances the cultural experience for every student at CSB/SJU.
