Saint Scholastica Hall

Overview

Saint Scholastica Hall is a residence life community for women enrolled at the University of Mary who desire to commit to a year of intentionally discerning a vocation to religious life. Members live in community and grow in faith, character, and holiness as they come to know Jesus more deeply and understand His plan for their lives. The women of Scholastica Hall support each other in virtuous living through a life of prayer, study, service to others, and community-based activities.

Located on the third floor of Roers Hall, Saint Scholastica features two-bedroom suites with shared bathroom facilities, a community room, and a chapel. The women who are accepted into Scholastica Hall, and hence meet the criteria discussed in the “Eligibility Requirements” section, will commit to a Rule of Life, which includes the sacraments, a daily holy hour, and Liturgy of the Hours.

The women receive formation in principles of religious life, participate in weekly community nights, and make formal visits to religious congregations while living in the hall. Formation is provided by the Benedictine Oblates of Mary, the resident director of Roers Hall, and a chaplain who is a priest of the Diocese of Bismarck.

Students enjoy community in the lounge area of Saint Scholastica Hall where they can study and have conversations.

A room in Saint Scholastica Hall provides plenty of space for two bunk beds, two desks, dressers, a portable refrigerator, and furniture.

Saint Scholastica Hall, located in Roers Hall, shares a courtyard for lounging and relaxing, is centrally located, and provides easy access to everything on campus including the library in the background.

Saint Scholastica Hall provides opportunities for students to grow in community and build friendships that last a lifetime.

Making friends and building community in spacious areas are what make living in Saint Scholastica Hall special and memorable for students.

Residence Director

I lived most of my life in Wisconsin, but I'm loving the North Dakota sunsets even more. I enjoy a variety of hobbies, spending time in my hammock, and drinking coffee with friends. I love being on the residence life team because I get to collaborate with others who are passionate about forming the students in our care. One of my favorite parts of working in residence life is helping students create a place they can call home while they are at Mary.
