St. John’s University is proud to offer a vibrant campus life which includes a large number of educational, cultural, athletic and social activities on our three New York City campuses.  Getting involved in campus life is the greatest way to become part of the University community, and create one’s own unique St. John’s experience.

These are some of our diverse student programs:
