St. Johns University Students
Tell It Like It Is
"When people hear 'St. John's,' their usual expression is, 'Wow, that's a really good school.' It makes me feel good, but sometimes people who are looking in from the outside do not know what is happening behind closed doors. St. John's is a good school, in my opinion, but it has some kinks that need to be fine-tuned. Read this book with an open mind, and when you are finished, judge for yourself if St. John's is right for you."

St. John's offers a great location, just minutes from Manhattan, and the name has traditionally been enough to get your foot in the door for your desired career, but what's really in a name? Is the school truly all it's cracked up to be?

"There are some really good teachers; the curriculum is not challenging at all, though."

"There is absolutely no flexibility in choosing your courses."

"At St. John's, we are lucky that we are so close to Manhattan. There is just so much for students to do and see. It provides a very unique experience, especially for those students that are not from the city. The diversity alone gives ways to learn new things, such as food and culture."

"There is no control in the classrooms and most students walk in five minutes before class is over and it's okay."
