Student Life

Enjoy Everything Elmhurst Has to Offer

Join a club, host an event, meet new friends—here, you’ll find a welcoming community and a world of opportunities. You belong here!

We believe that a college experience should be more than what happens in the classroom. It’s also about joining a community, stepping out of your comfort zone and discovering what sparks your passions.

That’s why we offer so many ways to get involved in University life. It’s also why we provide the support you need to thrive.
