Campus Life
Campus Culture: Committed to Service
Service to the community is integrated into many aspects of student life at the College of St. Joseph. Awareness of our responsibility toward others is part of our Catholic culture. Rutland, one of the state’s largest cities, presents many opportunities for students to serve others in need.
St. Joseph Hall is the central building on campus and contains administrative offices, bookstore, laboratories, library, computer center, faculty offices, ost of the College classrooms, counseling services, and the career development library
Athletic Center
The CSJ Athletic Complex encloses 27,455 square feet of floor space. It includes a 1000 seat gymnasium, a dance/aerobics room, a weight room, and two racquetball courts.
The Athletic Center is the home of the Fighting Saints intercollegiate teams and serves as the hub for student intramurals. The facility often hosts special events for both the College and greater Rutland community.
The main eatery on campus serves a variety of entrees, soup, salad & sandwich bar, homemade desserts and ice cream. Students, staff and faculty dine in the comfortable dining room in the company of good friends.
The focal point of student life outside the classroom is Tuttle Hall, the CSJ student center. Tuttle Hall is the hub of activity for student organizations and social activities of a growing student body and faculty. It houses the admissions office and student services office. In addition, it is the home of Campus Ministry and the Chapel, which helps nurture the spiritual growth of the CSJ community. Tuttle Hall also features a student lounge and game room, snack bar, meeting rooms, offices, and a 200-seat theater.
Residence Halls
At CSJ we believe that learning occurs both in and out of the classroom. Students who reside on campus find that our suite-style residence halls provide a safe and supportive environment for cooperative living and learning. Because living on campus provides unique opportunities for personal growth, all students 21 or younger at the College, and are registered as full-time and matriculated, and who are not residing with parents in their primary residence or who are claimed on their parent’s most recent IRS 1040 form, must live in one of the residences halls.
There are many rewards to being an active, contributing member of the community and at the College of St. Joseph it’s easy to get involved.
The College of St. Joseph recognizes the unique communal atmosphere of the residence setting. Each single-sex residence hall is divided into suites housing a maximum of eight (8) students. See for yourself! Residents of each hall elect a residence hall council to act as an advisory body of the resident community.
An Ideal Location
The College of St. Joseph’s 90-acre wooded campus is on the edge of a charming city in the heart of the Green Mountains, giving our students access to the best that Vermont has to offer. Look for yourself!
