St. John's University-New York

Thanks to the professors, St. John's is a school that helps students for their particular career field. Many of the teachers have had experience in your field, so they are willing to give you tips that go a long way. This college is not for the slacker- expect to do work, but in the end it helps out. Many students go onto graduate school in the city or receive internships after they graduate. Some even participate in internships while they are in undergraduate school.

The classes here are fairly small which enable you to really get to know your professor. It's nice because by truly knowing my professor, I feel that I am less intimated to go to his/her office hours for extra help or even stay after class to ask some questions or get a follow up on the lecture. Also, it is A LOT easier to pay attention in a lecture (which trust me can be very boring at times!) if a class is smaller because the professor will noyice if you doze off or decide to catch up on your facebook chatting and completely ignore the lecture! It also is easier to get involved in debates and top conversations!

There truly is an opportunity to learn a great deal at St. Johns. They have a wide area of studies ranging from Anthropology and Psychology to Computer Science and Law. Even within the classes, the environment is set for comfortable learning. Classrooms are small to accommodate personal attention and engagement. The student-professor relationship that you have here sets St. Johns apart from other colleges. Alongside with classes, there are many organizations and societies that can parallel with your learning in your class. Technology is also not a stranger to St. Johns University. They have many web resources, that can help student connect and learn. Honestly, without these extra resources, you are bound to feel that sinking bored feeling while in a few of your classes at least 5 times. It happens to a lot of us but it’s natural. St. Johns seems to understand that and that’s why they have and are continuing to create new things for us students. It is not only the Professors and classes but the interactions you have with your fellow classmates are extremely helpful. Most classes do start out with people being quite and keeping to themselves or their friends. But don’t worry because there is just something about these classes that gets people to start interacting and the whole thing becomes more like a group of people instead of just a class. These classes are no joke; besides the core curriculum you major can put you into some serious classes. Having lighthearted but very professional instructors along with a group of people learning and interacting together brings many new and innovative ideas to the table. This will defiantly help in those times when you homework assignments give a big surprise and you are sitting there for hours trying to figure it out.

Academically, this school is very good. I am a freshman this year on the Staten Island campus and I love the classes here. The professors on this campus really get to know you because the classes are so small. Everyone gets a laptop at the beginning of their freshman year, so it is really easy to keep up with class notes.

When you're picking out your classes, make sure to check ratemyproffesor.com first - you'll most likely end up with good professors that way. Participate in your classes and show that you care by doing your work. The classes are fairly small so professors will likely be able to tell who's a slacker and who's actually paying attention.

when you start at st. john's you have to take a lot of core classes, but how well you learn or how easy it is depends on the teacher.

if you like a big school with small classrooms this is the place for you. We have 16,000-20,000 students here yet all of my classes are usually around 30 students, only time this wasn't the case was for one business lecture of what 50? all the teachers remembered me and knew me by name which is definitely better than other schools where students are basically a number.

There is also a new accelerated learning opportunity where, if your in Accounting, Management, and some other business courses, you can opt for a program where you can have your bachelor's and master's degree finished in only 5 years! As a Management Major i will definitely be signing up for it. Be mindful this opportunity is really only opened to students with good grades. So keep them grades up! =]

In addition, St. John's University has connections with major Business Companies in NYC, that are looking for specifically St. John's Students), especially Goldman Sachs which came to St. John's three times this year alone. Why are they looking at St. John's, one reason is because the school is extremely diverse, is somewhat more of the middle class students, actually knows about Manhattan since we are in the area, and finally because we get such a broad education with all our core classes. We're the type or workers Goldman Sachs are looking for. Last month my business class had an exclusive visit by a high end member of Goldman Sachs, we all had to wear business attire and everything.

I am a student at the Staten Island Campus of St. John's University, I have found that the professors here are some of the best in their field of work and they all have shown care for students. Every professor that I have had so fr will go out of their way to help, all you have to do is ask. Because of this relationship with the professors I feel that every student has the ability to learn so much.

The campus is beautiful. The study spaces are very convenient. The food is great.

The diversity at this school is very existent. It is very easy to meet different people from different backgrounds. The programs and events at this school are very beneficial to finding a job or starting your career in the future.
