St John’s University-New York Top Questions

Always something to do in Manhattan

The diversity of the university.

I tell them about the small classes and great student:faculty ratio. I also always mention the benefits of being so close to Mahattan (my campus is on Staten Island), but not being right in the middle of the city. Finally, I always brag about the trips my school sponsors to see Broadway plays, visit museums, etc.

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. As well as all of the beautiful architecture done to the school around the whole campus. Everything looks beautiful, and I know that it was made this way to attract me and my peers, and it definitely did.

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.

I brag about how helpful the professors are. The school is always finding way to make sure their students are receiving the best education they deserve.

I tell them of the free laptop program that they have for all in coming freshmen and transferring students.

The thing that I brag about the most when speaking about St. John's is the very talented basketball team. Although they are currently in a slump, they are still competing at the highest level in the college rankings, which is D1. Numerous NBA all stars have played and graduated from St. John's University, such as Mark Jackson, Chris Mullin, and many more.

The ability to take only a few buses to school. the fact that many of my coworkers and friends go to the same school or graduated from my school and can tell me about teachers and classes.

I would most likely brag about the cultural organizations such as the gospel choir or the different culture clubs.
