When I speak about my school, the number one thing that I brag about is the beautiful view of New York City from the top of the stairs that lead to the residence village.

Carmen

Our sports teams are Division 1- meaning we have tons of school spirit and get great discounts to watch our team play other big schools like Duke, Syracuse, and and Louisville. The absolute best part about St. John's, though, is that we're such a short distance away from midtown Manhattan. We're not in the city, so peace and quiet can be attained at our dorms in Queens, but the city is close enough to go to daily- and in the city that never sleeps, there's always something new and exciting to do.

Numerous NBA all stars have played and graduated from St. John's University, such as Mark Jackson, Chris Mullin, and many more.

I like to tell my friends about how diverse and open-minded my school seems to be to new ideas and adoptind new customs. We have numerous of activities, organizations, and clubs to choose from and when I thought I was not going to join one because most did not seem to offer anything to me I found the fashion club.
