The College of Saint Benedict is the only Benedictine college for women in the U.S. It partners with a nearby men’s school, Saint John’s University, to share academic programs and provide access to resources on both campuses. (Its students are known as “Bennies,” while Saint John’s students are called “Johnnies.”) About 81% of women at Saint Benedict graduate within six years, 19% higher than similar schools.
