Bellarmine House of Studies

The Jesuit students who enroll in the Saint Louis University College of Philosophy and Letters normally reside in the Bellarmine House of Studies, comprised of four houses in a residential neighborhood near the SLU campus. The Jesuit community at Bellarmine typically includes both scholastics and brothers in studies, as well as some Jesuits who have finished their religious formation.

A group of residents pose for a photo in the back of the Jesuit house, some sitting on lawn chairs, and some standing in a row behind and on steps.
