Favorite thing about STJ

The diversity and endless opportunities in class, organizations, and activities the campus has to offer

Why did you pick STJ?

I wanted to get out my hometown “bubble”. I visited the campus as a Junior in high school and fell in love with the campus and New York City. I knew that I would really have an amazing chance to be successful here.

Advice for potential transfer students
Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone! Whether you transferred from somewhere in New York or another state, St. John’s will become your second home if you fully apply yourself. Don’t be afraid to get involved and see not only the great friends you’ll make, or the endless opportunities you can receive, but you’ll see the biggest positive growth in yourself, and that’s honestly the best thing.
