For the past 11 years, the Rome campus of St. John’s University
has given students a uniquely international academic experience.
The new SJU campus is located in Via Marcantonio Colonna, 21, in
the “Rione Prati” area in central Rome.
Until 1870 such area was called Prati di Castello (Castle
fields, of Castel Sant’Angelo) because the Pope’s knights used it
for practice. It was again used as a military outpost after Italy’s
unification. The area is unique as the buildings reflect the XIX
and XX century building style with wide avenues and “Umbertinian”
palaces. Prati is surrounded by Borgo Pio, the Vatican, the
historical center of Rome, and The Tiber. Restaurants, museums and
monuments are close by. Prati has been traditionally built around
two major streets crossing each other: Via Cola di Rienzo
(connecting Piazza del Popolo with Piazza Risorgimento) and Via M.
Colonna/Cicerone (connecting Piazza Mazzini and Piazza Cavour). The
SJU campus is located on one of these main streets. Please
refer to the map at the end of this brochure.
The new Rome campus features a wide
variety of online services. Commonly used periodicals and other
texts are available on campus. In addition, the campus subscribes
to a number of external databases and on-line services.
St. John’s University is dedicated to providing every student
with a high-tech education. At the Rome campus, our
state-of-the-art Computer Lab and wireless connectivity throughout
the campus give students 24-hour access to online databases,
library resources, e-mail and Internet services. Students can use
Internet services without charges or time limits. All rooms are air
conditioned.
In addition, students can enjoy also other campus facilities as
tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields and an indoor
swimming pool.
