Only minutes from Manhattan by car, bus or train, our nearly 100-acre Queens campus offers a traditional university environment in the world’s most dynamic city.
The Queens campus features broad lawns, handsome stone buildings and ultramodern student residence halls. Facilities include high-tech laboratory and classroom buildings; the main collections of our 1.7 million-volume Library; and state-of-the-art athletic facilities for students and our BIG EAST, Division I athletic teams.
Combining urban excitement with suburban tranquility, the campus is located in a leafy, residential area of one of the five boroughs, or counties, that make up New York City. Though students at St. John’s often travel into Manhattan on weekends, they also enjoy shopping and fine restaurants within blocks of the campus.
On campus, students can choose among 180 student clubs and organizations, recreational and dining facilities and a variety of 24/7 activities.
