St. John's Queen's Campus

For students at St. John's University, there is never a boring moment. When I'm not in class or studying with a Starbucks cappuccino in the new D' Angelo student center, I usually am at the fitness center taking one of the many diverse and free fitness classes. There is always a fun event to attend sponsored by student life or a seminar to take. St. John's has amazing division one sports teams including the mens soccer team who hold the title of Big East champs and the mens basketball team who own the court not only in St. John's own Carnesecca Arena but in Madison Square Garden as well.

Academics at St. John's University

St. John's Acedemics

As a student in the fairly new Homeland Security program, I know that upon graduation i won't just be walking away with a paper certificate, but with vast amounts of knowledge and skills relevant specific to my career and the workforce in general. The professors are great, they really are experts on their subject and they truly know how to teach it in a way that it is exciting and understandable. Most classes are lecture classes, however, with the small classroom setting there is a lot of opportunity for open discussion. Outside the classroom, the professors are easily accessible through email as well as open office hours. As a freshman, college life can be hard to adjust to, but the professors are always more than willing to help make the process easier and more enjoyable

Off-Campus Housing at St. John's University

St. John's Off Campus Housing

The off campus housing and apartments are great. The Coolidge apartment complex, apartments available to upper class men through St. John's, really impressed me. These apartments are not only immaculate with brand new floors and appliances, but you feel very safe because the building is accessible to residents only. You get the privacy and freedom that isn't available in the dorms but you can still travel to and from campus thanks to the school's shuttle bus which travels hourly
