What is the difference between the Psychology Lounge and the Fellows’ Lab?
The psychology lounge is on the 4th floor of Marillac Hall and is for the entire psychology department. The psychology lounge has couches and tables for studying, and also mailboxes for all graduate psychology students. The fellows’ lab is in the sub-basement of Marillac Hall and only fellows (clinical and school) have access using their storm cards. Every fellow or graduate assistant within the psychology department is assigned a space to work in (with a computer and secure file cabinets).

How do I go about finding housing?
St. John’s offers students a variety of housing opportunities. Through the Office of Residence Life, graduate students can secure on-campus housing subject to availability. To be considered for on-campus housing, students should submit their request in writing to the Office of Admission. Through the University’s Housing Service, students can find comfortable and convenient off-campus housing in surrounding neighborhoods. All inquiries should be directed to the Department of Student Life at (718) 990-2417. Also, students often find apartments and/or roommates using Craigslist.com or other websites that offer housing information in the area. Flyers from other St. John’s students are also often displayed on the walls around the campus.

Will I need a laptop computer?

A laptop computer is not required. STJ has several computer labs and one is located in the School of Education. Many students, however, do find a laptop computer is convenient and frequently bring with them to classes. A personal computer is important, whether it is a laptop or desktop, for completing assignments, communicating via email, and conducting online research.
