St. John's Public Safety
St. John's University probably has one of the most secure campuses in the United States. There must be hundreds of cameras spread out, both outside and inside all the buildings, and public safety is constantly patroling. We have emergency phones what seems like every five feet. After 11pm they lock all the gates except two, and have guards posted at each enterance until the morning. Every dorm has its own public safety officer at the enterance. There are crimes a few blocks away that occur fairly frequently (muggings, assaults) but as far as campus property, there's no place safer. I know girls who walk around at 3am on campus and feel 100% safe.

Diversity
Very Diverse...but frankly, who really cares? Colleges put a lot of attention into diversity, but for no real reason. Most people 18-22 can get along with anyone, regardless of their backround...but St. John's "Prides" itself in diversity, you'll see it in every pamphlet, and poster

Fianacial Aid Sucks
They will give out fianacial aid, if you're poor or intelligent....but if you're stupid, mediocre, average in intelligence, or lower middle class, middle class, or upper middle class of higher you won't be getting much if anything. And for the intelligent people, and even some of the impovershed....theres a fair chance they'll take away your aid within two to three years. They tend to wait until you're a few years in so you're obligated to stay.
