Student Life
Campus life
The campus of the University of St.Gallen presents itself as a clearly structured, compact development with a modern infrastructure. The campus is also a place of culture and art: works by artists such as Arp, Miró, Braque, Cucchi, Giacometti and Richter are engaged in a unique dialogue with the buildings designed by the architects Walter M. Förderer and Bruno Gerosa.
[ad]hoc is the Student Union's campus bar. In a relaxed atmosphere, our students serve coffee and muffins, beers and, on Fridays, Weisswürste (veal sausages).Sports facilities
To keep body and mind in balance, the University provides a gym, weights rooms, football pitch, tennis, basketball and beach volleyball courts. The University's attractive location between Lake Constance and the Alps makes St.Gallen an ideal setting for all kinds of leisure activities, such as rock-climbing and sailing.
The so-called Three Ponds are only a few minutes walk from the city centre: the three small lakes on a hill on the outskirts of the city serve as public swimming pools in the summer and as ice rinks in cold winters. The Peter and Paul Wildlife Park is situated near the University and is popular with students who want to go jogging and walking.Student clubs
About 120 student associations and initiatives contribute to a rich and diverse university life. These associations range from international ones such as the Scandinavian Society, Asia Club and the Club Latino to sports associations like the St.Gallen Lacrosse Club, St.Gallen Sailing and the UniSGolf Club. But cultural associations like ProArte, an orchestra and the HSG Big Band also contribute towards the wide variety of leisure opportunities.
The University of St.Gallen's students also organise events of international significance:- The St. Gallen Symposium.
- The oikos Model WTO.
Accreditation
The University of St.Gallen is committed to maintaining its high standard of education, which is internationally recognised, as well as its excellent quality of service on campus. Thus the HSG has earned the EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA accreditations and consequently has obtained the two most demanding international seals of approval for business schools.
