Each and every university is unique in its own way, but St. Ambrose is special. It's that little school in Davenport, IA that seems to feel like home. Whether you’re a freshman, a senior or a graduate, here are signs you go or went to St. Ambrose.

1. BEE Puns

Every student that goes to St. Ambrose has heard a BEE pun at some point. “BEE the Difference”, “BEEcoming an Ambrosian." The school loves using BEE in anything and everything they can. You’ve also probably captioned at least one Instagram photo with a BEE pun. Using “BEEcause, BEEing, BEEhaving”, etc. You all know what I mean and you can't help but use a BEE pun followed by that cute little bee emoji whenever you can.

2. Emails, Emails, Emails

You can’t go a day without getting at least ten emails from the school. ResLife, Nurse Nancy, Bee Well, Student Activities, not to mention professors and coaches. The emails seem to never stop coming!

3. You complain about the caf, but still eat there anyway

We only have one cafeteria on campus, and Buzz Bucks don’t last forever. There aren’t many food places in walking distance, and, even when you find someone to drive, you realize you need to stop eating out and spending money. Deep down, even though the food isn’t always the best, you secretly like the burgers, cookies, and salad bar.

4. You have tried to take a selfie with a black squirrel at least once

You can’t help but try to take pictures with these little guys. They are brave and let you come close to them, and there are hundreds of them on campus. Snapchat stories are filled with them, too.

5. Whitey’s

Every Ambrose student’s go-to ice cream shop. Graham Central Station, Moose Tracks, and White Tiger Paws just to name a few amazing flavors. Everyone loves their shakes, and, if you order it with a lid, you are doing it wrong!

6. You’ve been to Rookies

Everyone loves Dollar Burgers and Bottles, and you have found yourself eating the popcorn. You also have taken a picture with the blue wall at homecoming.

7. Wi-Fi Problems

Slow Wi-Fi is an understatement. Switching from "Public" to "Student" gets so old.

8. Being friends with athletes is normal

You know someone on almost every sports team. You also feel like everyone is involved in some sort of sport.

9. Only knowing a few streets in Davenport

Locust, Gaines, Brown, Lombard, Brady, Harrison, Kimberly, and 3rd Street. You learn quickly that these are the few you need to know.

10. Living in Campus Housing isn't that bad

Having your own bathroom is nice and all your friends are close by. Plus, you are right on campus.

11. Tons of Activities

There are so many fun things to do on campus. Athletics, clubs, groups, Dance Marathon to name a few. It is easy to get involved and impossible to say there is nothing to do. If you do absolutely nothing, chances are you aren't a student here. Everyone on campus seems to be involved in some sort of activity.
