That’s because our residents are engaged on campus and are closer to the resources that help students succeed, like the library, Student Success Center and the Career Development Center.

Bellarmine prides itself on our insanely busy, super involved campus life. We have more than 90 Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) who are always planning things to do, as is the Student Activities Center.
