Saint Joseph's University - Campus

Campus

Saint Joseph's University's campus, often referred to as Hawk Hill, is located on City Avenue, which splits the University between the northwestern edge of Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township. A bridge which goes over City Avenue, connects the two sides of the campus. Its 103 acres (0.42 km2) are concentrated from Cardinal Avenue to 52nd Street and Overbrook Avenue to City Avenue, but also includes individual buildings separate from the main campus. With the acquisition of the Maguire Campus, 57 of the 103 acres (0.42 km2) are located on the Lower Merion side of City Avenue. It is within 15 miles (24 km) of La Salle University, Harcum College, Rosemont College, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Temple University, Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, Philadelphia University and Villanova University. There are 650 work stations on campus and all of the dorms are wired for access to the campus-wide network. Two regional rail train stations on each side of campus provide students with easy access to Center City. St. Mary's, Claver, and Wolfington are all lawns located on the Main Campus while there are two quadrangles, College Hall Quad and Barbelin Quad. There are two libraries on campus, the Campbell Collection in Food Marketing & the Francis A. Drexel Library which house approximately 355,000 volumes, 1,450 print journals, 15,000 full-text electronic journals, 2,800 e-books, 866,000 microforms, 4,975 audio-visual materials. Two shuttles operated by Saint Joseph's run along City Avenue and stop at Mandeville Hall for students.
