We recognize that the educational journey must also include opportunities for fun. Our campus is ideally located near the excitement of San Francisco, the action of numerous professional sports teams (As, Raiders, Warriors, Sharks, 49ers, Giants and the EarthQuakes), and the funky culture of Berkeley. The HNU campus is a safe and lively home base that puts the bright lights of the big city within your reach. We encourage you to climb the 106 steps to the top level of our hillside campus and look out from the balcony in front of McLean Chapel. You can see virtually the whole San Francisco Bay Area spread out in front of you. It is a spectacular sight. The value of our location, however, goes beyond the priceless view or the scenic beauty of the campus. Attending HNU allows you to live and learn in one of the most desirable areas in the United States. Cultural, intellectual, and recreational activities abound in every direction from HNUs location in the Oakland Hills.

Our faculty are experts in their fields with impressive academic backgrounds. Most of them have earned doctorates and many have published scholarly articles and books. Some of your classes will even consist of 15-18 students, providing an opportunity to closely interact with faculty. We provide academic support and study skills training through the Student Success Center. We also offer internships, self-designed majors and other programs that bring learning to life. We are a student-centered educational institution. Every member of the administration, faculty, staff and the entire HNU community recognizes that we are here because of, and for, our students. Our classes, programs and activities focus on your learning and achievement.

At HNU the Faculty are supportive and encouraging. Small classes, one-on-one attention, and a personalized educational experience help you achieve your academic goals.
Holy Names University is committed to inspiring generations to take action. Here we expect you to do more. We want you to go beyond just attending class, listening to lectures, and reading a textbook. We want you to engage the world at every stage in your education. At the heart of our institution, we believe in striving for social justice through service. We inspire our students to take what they have learned in the classroom out into the world to make it a better place. Throughout the year, you can engage in service projects like helping Habitat for Humanity in Oakland, walking for breast cancer research or traveling to Tutwiler, Mississippi, to build houses. Student commitment to these projects is what makes the HNU vision of service actually happen. HNU students are activists, mentors and leaders.

All HNU students have the opportunity to grow through experiences across and beyond the campus. Get involved! While you may come up with great ways to have fun on your own, student organizations like the HNU Spirit Club and the Outdoor Activities Klub (OAK), make sure that there is always something fun to do on or around campus. You will probably find that there is already a club or organization that is dedicated to one of your favorite activities. If there isnt, be creative! At HNU, students are encouraged to start new clubs and initiate new activities. Special events often occur at different times throughout the academic year as well. At the beginning of the year for example, new students have the opportunity to go on a bay cruise for a dance and tour of the San Francisco Bay!

As an incoming freshman you will participate in our Connections Project First Year Experience. This program is specifically designed to help students build relationships with each other, faculty and staff as they develop a deeper understanding of Holy Names University. The program was designed with a primary goal of assisting students with a successful transition to college, while developing students into leaders of positive social change through interactions with the campus and local community. Students choose from a variety of courses which are all connected to a campus learning community. The learning communities are designed around three areas of commitment to social justice: Diversity, Leadership and Service.
My Connections Project group is taking a trip to the Chabot Space and Science Center. It will be a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and it will be a lot of fun.

HNU graduates leave our programs with critical thinking and communication skills as well as a sense of social responsibility that prepares them for lifelong learning well beyond their graduation day. But more than that, our graduates leave as part of a new family of Holy Names alumni. Our diverse student body and long standing presence in the city of Oakland has created a far reaching network of alumni with a breadth and depth of professional experience.

Alumna Speaks:
I wake up every morning grateful that I get to do what I do. The Sisters worked with me one-on-one. They turned every small victory into an opportunity to convince me I was smart. Thats why its so important to have somebody who believes in you and can help you craft a different vision for your future. Leterria Fletcher, Class of 2006 BA, 2008 MA 21
100% of the incoming students to Holy Names University receive some sort of HNU grant or scholarship assistance in paying for school. This is money we give you to help pay for school that you dont ever have to pay back. It is the goal of HNU to assist students with the overall cost of attendance: tuition, books, room and board, travel, etc. Along with HNU financial assistance, most students will apply for federal financial aid using the FAFSA (free application for federal student aid) which can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The application is free and this is how you qualify for grants, loans, and federal work study to assist in paying for college. California residents who qualify for the Cal Grant will receive up to $9,223 per year to help pay for school at Holy Names University.
