St. Bonaventure University

Small Community, Big Impact

Sense of community

•  Franciscan tradition and values underlie everything we do and promote at St. Bonaventure University
•  Alumni engagement and participation well exceeds the national average, once a Bonnie, always a Bonnie.
•  Center for Community Engagement connects our classrooms with the community to promote a sense of service to others
•  St. Bonaventure’s campus is nestled within over 500 acres of landscape. It is a close drive to Ellicottville, NY where a weekend festival seems to take place almost every weekend! Ellicottville is the home of popular skiing destination, Holiday Valley.
