Situated in the southwestern corner of New York state in an expansive region of natural beauty known as the Southern Tier, St. Bonaventure benefits from a location that is ideal for a residential college.

The campus is nestled between the city of on the east and the village of on the west, so you're just minutes from some of the best restaurants in the region and stores to fill every need, from the familiar big-box centers to small specialty shops.
And if you're looking for fun in the great outdoors, whether it's hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing, or just enjoying one of the most spectacular fall foliage color shows you'll ever see, our outdoor playground, known as the Enchanted Mountains, offers something for everyone. You can start with a 5.6-mile ribbon of fun and fitness right in our own backyard, and across our front lawn: The Allegheny River Valley Trail. The looped, paved-surface walking, jogging and biking trail runs along the banks of the scenic Allegheny River and through portions of the city of Olean and town of Allegany before returning to campus
