Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus security tries to maintain a happy medium between protecting the students of St. John’s and not invading their privacy. Sometimes they succeed; other times, they fail. Some students complain that they are not being kept safe on campus, while others say campus security is constantly snooping in on their private moments. It’s certainly hard to keep things balanced on an urban campus. Students at SJU have to take some of responsibility in following the rules and working to keep themselves safe.

One of the worst things a student can do is cheat in any of his or her classes—St. John’s will take the necessary measures to make sure the student is reprimanded, which usually ends in expulsion. Also, RAs are situated in the buildings to keep order. Even though most are doing what is needed, some hold the attitude that if they don’t see it, it’s not their problem. The front desks are staffed 24 hours a day to monitor who is in the buildings. Most of the front-end personnel of the dorm buildings are students themselves, so they tend to be more lax and not check IDs. This is a serious problem because it is putting the students’ safety at risk, and safety is the one thing that should never be compromised on a college campus.

St. John's is a private, Catholic university. They do not advertise drugs or drinking on campus or for anyone under the legal age. The campus is strict, but their policies are fair. They have a set list of procedures that everyone student is informed of during orientation. I believe if the students are stupid enough to get caught then they deserve to be punished.

The housing is amazing at St. Johns. The dorms are big, the halls are wide and there are different activities on each floor. The only negative I have is everytime someone visits I have to remember to sign them out at a certain time or I get a notice.
