Photo Gallery

When four St. John's University students visited Kokushikan University in Tokyo this past January, they enjoyed the experience of a lifetime.

Immersing themselves in Japanese culture, learning the language and navigating through the Tokyo subway system, the students returned to the Queens campus with memories that will last a lifetime -- and a stronger appreciation for the benefits of studying in another country.

We invite you to share the experience with them by viewing the Photo Gallery of images our students brought back from Japan.
