There are lots of ways to stay in touch with friends and family while you study at SLU. Share your address and encourage people to send you letters and care packages from home.
Every SLU student is given an email address when they are accepted. Make sure to check your SLU account regularly, as it is used to send you very important University information, and it is the easiest way to contact SLU faculty and staff. Many students choose to link their personal and SLU email accounts.
The Saint Louis University mail center is located on the lower level of Busch Student Center. When you arrive on campus, you will receive a mailbox number and a key for your mailbox. All mail and packages should be sent to:
Busch Student Center
(Your Name as it appears on your SLU account)
MSC (mailbox number)
20 N. Grand Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63103-2005
All mail should be addressed using your name as it appears on your SLU account. Your name should appear in typical American style (given name before family name) and should not include a nickname or home name. When you receive a package, the mail center will notify you via email.
The mail center is also able to send letters and packages. The U.S. Postal Service can help you calculate rates for letters and packages.
