St. Lawrence University (SLU) is a private liberal arts college in Canton, New York, United States. It has roughly 2,100 undergraduate and 100 graduate students.
This is a strong option for students who thrive in a tight-knit, residential liberal arts environment — an 86% freshman retention rate suggests students genuinely like it once they arrive, and the $22,670 median debt is relatively manageable. That said, the remote Canton, NY location is a real lifestyle consideration, and median earnings of $60,100 a decade out are solid but not exceptional for a $30,561/year net price tag. Worth considering if you value small-campus community and outdoor access over proximity to urban internship hubs.
