Visiting Us

Can I visit campus? Do I need an appointment?
Yes.  The St. John's Office of Admission offers presentations by an Admission counselor followed by a student-guided campus tour.  Campus visits provide prospective students and their families with an opportunity to explore all aspects of St. John’s University - from the residential village, to the various academic areas to campus life. Please see our Visit page for schedules and hours.

Can I stay in a residence hall when I visit campus?
Overnight visits are offered 3 times a year for accepted students in the spring semester.  You can check the admission web pages for upcoming events.

Can I talk with current students during my visit?
Yes.  We encourage all of our visitors to speak with current students.  Your campus tour will be conducted by a current St. John’s student and is just one of the many opportunities you will have to speak with current students.

Can I meet with someone regarding my specific academic area of interest?

Open House and Accepted Student Day are offered in the fall and spring respectively.  During those events all faculty are present to discuss specific academic areas.  If you wish to speak with faculty outside of those designated events, please contact the Office of Admission at 1-888-9STJOHNS or admhelp@stjohns.edu.

When is the best time to visit campus?

Campus is beautiful during all seasons, but we recommend visiting during the school year so that you can get a real feel for St. John’s in action.  There is limited access to the resident village when classes are not in session.
