The Queens Campus at St. John's University is farely small but that doesnt mean that we dont have huge sprit! Our Mascot is a big red Hawk because of our population of Red Tail Hawks flying around campus. Its great to see a soon to be endangered species ruling our campus; and fufiling the St. John's RED STORM reputation!

What I found unique about St. John's was the fact that they are extremely involved with helping others. They require you to have at least participated in 5 hours of community service, and they are always promoting to go out and participate in Midnight Runs and etc. And for me, community service has always been a big part of my life, so St. John's definitely stood out when making my college choice.

The fact that it is really involved with basketball and that the students are really proud to be st johns student. There is a lot of spirit and also that there is a lot of diversity on campus. You will see about every race on campus.

One thing that stands out is that even as a freshmen, you have the opportunity to study abroad. This is a great privilege and experience.

diversity

St. John's has a small-school atmosphere in a medium-large school. The classes are generally small, there are only a modest amount of people living on campus, but you can still meet new people every day. But best of all is that most people you meet are kind, happy, and individual. It is almost impossible to not find someone to talk to on campus.

Compared to other schools St. John's University is a Catholic and Vincentian Universsity which upholds their mission to academic freedom, a spirit of inquiry and respect for each individuals worth and dignity, and global service. As I walk the campus I am greeted by students of many different religious beliefs, races, and cultural backgrounds. Here I am challenged to see beyond myself and personal goals, and understand success as making a difference in the community. I am able to incorporate service to the community with my higher education pursuit. This makes St. John's superior when compared to others.

Compared to other schools the diversity makes St. John's University unique. As a first year student you are required to take a course called Discover New York. This course helps you understand the importance of diversity gets you familiar with your environment and encourages you to get involved in campus. In addition, this university tries its best to help you make a smooth transition from high school to college. There is a freshman center with an eager staff to help you in any way possible. Also, there are many places to study abroad with a fantastic financial aid package.

The diversity of the student body population coupled by the myriad of majors within the school attracted me to the program. Furthermore, I was impressed by the spirit of service embodied by the Vincentian tradition of the school.

None of the other schools I considered were in NYC- which was definitely a factor in my decision. Also, the diversity at St. John's is completely unique in that I've never been in a more racially and culturally diverse place. It not only is interesting to meet people of every background, but it prepares you for the real world by teaching how to deal with every different type of person. The school is small enough to get to know a ton of people, but big enough that there's always going to be something new to do.

I believe that St. John's University-Staten Island campus is unique in that it is a small campus and the only university on the Island.

It's a catholic college that teaches you also moral values besides academical skills.
