Campus Life

A variety of programs and service create the vibrant campus experience here at Immaculata University (IU). Students are involved in creating their university experience by becoming affiliated with a club or organization, an athletic team, through campus ministry and a variety of other campus leadership opportunities. The out-of-class experience is important and students are encouraged to get involved. Here is what Immaculatan’s are saying about their IU experience.

My experience here at Immaculata University has been an awesome experience. Immaculata University's value-based academic excellence and personal attention is what every student should yearn for in a college. As a member of the Immaculata Women’s Basketball team and being a student-athlete I have grown into a well rounded individual. I am able to excel on the court as well as in the classroom. The coaches and athletic department here at Immaculata do an exceptional job making sure you are on the right track to success. Your teammates become your family; these girls are the first to celebrate a victory and the first to pick you up when you are having a bad day. As well as others here at Immaculata do the same. The passion and dedication of those at IU has given me a great experience that I wish everyone could experience through their time at college. At Immaculata you not only receive a great education but you become a part of a great family.

The transition from high school to college can be a scary change but I learned that by getting involved is the best way to settle in and to become a part of the IU family. It is important to be yourself. Here at Immaculate there is something for everyone, so don't be afraid to explore possibilities. Believe!

My experience here at Immaculata University has been a great one and I would not trade for anything. Immaculata allowed me to grow as a leader by offering me so many opportunities to get involved and take charge. This past year I was honored to be voted in as the President of the Student Association of Immaculata University, our form of student government. This position allowed me to hold one the highest offices a student can hold on campus. With this new responsibility to the student body I developed, with the assistance of my fellow SAIU officers, a new constitution for our organization. The new SAIU is focused on being a student government that advocates issues on behalf of student body. This leadership opportunity along with my position as a Resident Assistant have taught me great deal about leadership and how to work with others to get goals accomplished. I will miss Immaculata, but I am certain that it has prepared me for anything I might face in the future.

My advice is simple, get involved. The students here at Immaculata University are very friendly and are always looking for more people to be involved. If you have never been a person to get involved try to find at least one club or organization that best fits you. It will enhance your experience tenfold.
