St John’s University-New York Top Questions

Extremely diverse in both race and religion. However the phenomenon of falling into cliques based on these classifications does not elude us.

They are all the most goal orientated, focused, exciting, funny, intelligent, lazy(sometimes), craziest, spiritual, city dwelling, late nighters, and world wide thinkers I know!

My classmates are unpredictable and are extremly different from one another.

SJU is a Catholic university, but don't assume that everyone is Catholic. People from all kinds of backgrounds have found a home at SJU. Just because the university is affiliated with a specific faith does NOT mean that students will be at all pressured in any religious sense. As for the diversity at SJU, I have two observations. There doesn't seem to be high NUMBERS of students from diverse backgrounds. Different cultures are represented, but the midwestern student is by far the majority of the student population. WITH THAT SAID, I do want to point out that students, regardless of what cultural background they have, seem very open and accepting of anyone else. I have yet to hear of a "minority" student who does not feel comfortable at SJU if they've made any effort to meet people.
