- Residence Halls
We have many residence halls that offer a variety of living options, including traditional and suite-style halls as well as apartment style housing. All rooms include streaming cable, utilities, laundry (on premises), and Wi-Fi at no additional cost. In the Goethals Apartments, laundry is coin operated and cable service is provided via a wired connection.
Incoming freshmen are assigned to a traditional or suite-style freshman residence hall to enhance the first-year experience. The Center for Student Sucess works closely with these halls to bring unique opportunities to freshman residents. Upperclass residents have the opportunity to select from one of our suite-style or apartment-style residence halls. These halls, through programming and other initiatives, these halls provide environments that promote continued growth and independence.

Laundry Machine Operation And Maintenance
In order to ensure the proper operation of your apartment’s dryer, please be sure to clean the lint trap after each use.
Locating Your Unit’s Lint Trap
In some models, a basket is mounted inside the dryer barrel. Simply pull this basket out to remove the lint. Other models feature a door mounted lint trap. To access this lint trap, slide the rectangular grate out to expose the lint trap. Remove the lint from the door mounted trap and return the grate before reusing the dryer.
Ensure Efficient Operation
When lint builds up in your lint trap, air flow is diminished, and your dryer will not function efficiently. In some apartments your laundry unit may have a closet door.
We recommend that you leave this door open when your washer or dryer are in use. Please remove lint after each use of the dryer.
If you suspect their is a maintenance issue with your laundry unit, please file a work order and follow up with the Residence Life team. To file a work order, please follow the instructions posted in your apartment or make use of the St. John’s app. You can share your ticket number with the Residence Life team for additional attention or follow up.
