What are the residence halls
like?
At our Queens campus, our residence halls were built within the
past 10 years and all have in-suite bathrooms. At our Staten
Island campus, resident students live in garden-style apartments
adjacent to campus. Residents at our Manhattan campus share
doubles, triples or quads and share common bathrooms.
Residence hall rooms are included in our campus
tours which are offered daily. To visit St. John's,
