Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Athletics are a big thing on campus, but it's not fair that many of the sports are overshadowed by the popularity of the basketball and soccer teams. Some programs at St. John’s University have even been cut (football, track and field). There are also a wide variety of interest club sports and intramurals for those that enjoy the recreation but don’t want the competition and travel. The University works hard to provide all students with opportunities to exercise and partake in recreational activities.

On the national level, the Red Storm is a well-respected program. The Big East is quickly becoming one of the most feared conferences in NCAA basketball. At SJU, students get to see their team take on such heavy-hitters as Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and UConn. Athletics are known to draw many students to St. John’s and with good reason. The University has assembled a top-notch program for its students.

The sports atmosphere at St. Johns University are pretty much like that of a high school. People get excited and participate in many sports programs especially the basketball games here. We also like to have events where the student body other than the people on athletic teams can participate. They are very funn and exciting to attend and be a part of.

Getting Better

When I was a freshman people were not really into being hardcore fans. As my time there ended people started getting more involved. The reason being is that the quality of the sports started to increase.

Red Storm Basketball

St. John's sports are pretty important to the university and the student body. It's really fun to go to games and see people get dressed up and freak out over basketball. Also, we get really great prices for student tickets, and its awesome to sit on the floor for a Duke vs. St. John's game. We play a lot of big name teams, so if you're into basketball in general, its great. We're division 1 in many, many other sports too. Our men's soccer team is killing it.

School Spirit

School spirit is really big for the basketball and soccer teams, but it’s not as big when it comes to Greek life and other events. One good thing is that when there is any event, whether it is just an organization holding a picnic to Black Solidarity Day, there is always a crowd supporting and serving as spectators. There could be more student engagement, but the school overall has sufficient school spirit.

Getting Tickets

Tickets can be especially hard to get (and more expensive) when it comes to men's basketball.

Best Place to Take a Walk

Walking around campus is the best place to walk. If you prefer to be indoors, Taffner Field House has courts that students can walk around.
