St John’s University-New York Top Questions

I dislike the bathrooms. They always seem unkept.

Not sure. The tuition is pretty high.

TUITION COSTS!

The worst thing about my school is that there is no train near the campus. Having a train nearby would make it so much easier for commuter students to attend school.

We have so many activities, I dont know which to go too.

It's in the middle of no where. How expensive it is. Lack of school spirit/activites.

The public safety. Their priorities are very skewed and they hardly ever come across as genuinely caring about students well being and safety.

The worst thing about my school is no one goes to sleep at a reasonable time. Coming from Upper Marlboro, Maryland dinner is served at 7, the stores close around 9, and kids are usually alseep by 10. When I got to college there was not any general sleeping period. People slept during the day, people slept during the afternoon and there just wasn't a general sleeping period like there was when I was back home. I blame it on going to school in Queens, New York. The city that never sleeps is a true myth.

The worst part is the amount of conservative policies the university has...such as the fact that women are not allowed in men's rooms. Also there are no condoms and birth control pills allowed in the university.

Nothing is explained, when high school teacher's say, be prepared to do everything on your own. They mean it. St. John had made me run everyday to them, for my ID, program, advisors, testing, etc. They won't tell you anything before hand, you have to find out on your own, it even takes a whole day figuring out one thing. It's not St. John's, it every university. Be prepared to be responsible.
