St. John's University - New York Reviews

After finishing my first year as a freshman, I'd say that St. John's University is a top level amazing school. The environment of campus is perfect, you have a wide open great lawn surrounded by buildings of all varieties. HUGE diversity, you get to meet people from all over the country! Even though St. John's is a catholic school, they have a church is for all religions. Residence Halls are set in a village like area, all having different names and surrounding locations like the Montigoris Dining Hall and Public Safety. Dorms in the residence halls have their own setup, whether it's a suite or traditional, double room or single room. Speaking of Public Safety, I feel safe being on campus. They have guards at each gate and are on the scene if something goes down. Food at the dining hall is amazing, they have a different varieties of food, such like Grill and Hibachi. Overall, I am very proud to pick such a school.

So after a year at St. John’s my experience had some extreme highs and some pretty interesting lows as well. My highs were centered a lot around the area and location, as well as the people I met and shared experiences with which was amazing to say the least. The lows on the other hand were centered around the buildings themselves and the service sometimes. The elevators, had been broken or malfunctioned on so many occasions especially in critical times where I have to go to class and am late because all the elevators are stalling, as well as a mouse problem that happened during the year which was disgusting to the say the least and I am terrified of rodents so that was the worst for me. Eventually all of this was solved though, so there’s only so much to really complain about. In all the school had many positives and negatives but the positive experiences and learning moments far outweighed the dreadful ones!

I will say this school was so good for the connections it gave me. I had an amazing four-year experience full of great activities, great professors, tons of school events, school clubs that truly united me with people with my same passion, and of course career preparation. Anyone looking to come to SJU should network and take advantage of all its opportunities!
