If you go, make sure that you have a plan to fully pay for the other $13,000 in just tuition that you are short.
St. John's University Heads please check in! (new yorkers also welcome)

16k will not cover the whole tuition. It will cost you up to $30,000+ a year to attend that school. They have a good pharmacy and physician assistant program.If you're not majoring in it one of them I don't think it would worth it to attend that school. But if you decide to attend that school, try to dorm atthe Manhattan campus. You will get to enjoy to City. I heard the dorms there are really limited so you might have to apply early for that. It's an okayschool but defly a commuter school. Good luck.

I go there for pharmacy.
If you aren't in pharmacy don't come. Not worth it.

From there. http://collegesearch.coll...ollegeId=1055&profileId=2
Also $25k a year that isn't covered is not a small number. Nowhere near worth it just to go to school out of state. Lack of funds creates an enormousamount of stress if you don't have parents that can pay for things. Maybe you have parents that can pay for things though. I didn't.

Listen to them. I went there for two years, it felt like High School all over again..to me at least. What a waste of money. And top three in NYC?....na, ubuggin. IMO St Johns has just become a name, and its just popular for just its name now, theres nothing behind that name besides the Pharmacy program andbasketball. If you ask anyone what St johns is known for, academics\scholastics is def not being mentioned.

my brother went to st johns for his first year. BIG MISTAKE. like everybody else said, if you aren't going to study pharmacy, then there isnt any point ofgoing there. and if you get distracted easily, you might as well pay them the tuition cost now and stay in Cali. too many distractions (i.e. parties, girls).dorm rooms are kinda small (donovan hall), and a lot of people keep on getting robbed. you are guaranteed to lose personal belongings.

Seriously, as much as I hate my University, Fordham > St. Johns in academics. Hell we could prob compete with you in Athletics nowadays. St.Johns is a good school no doubt, but it's not worth the tuition. Fordham = 4rd highest ranked Catholic Univ in the US. Last I checked St. Johns was notthe 3 ahead so I guess your statement is a bit off.

Not sure if you're ready for college if you think NYU is an ivy. There are many great colleges and universities in NYC, it just depends on what you'relooking for.
Do your research and you will find Cooper Union if you want to do something in the engineering field, Sophie Davis for medical, Baruch for business, andJuillard for the arts.http://www.ny.com/cgibin/frame.cgi?url=http://www.julliard.edu/ http://www.ny.com/cgibin/frame.cgi?url=http://www.julliard.edu/

depends on what you want to study.
SJU is known well for its pharmacy program and biology/chemistry.
It also has a reputable business division - Tobin School of Business
It has a well known psych program.
But yea if your going to be an english major or something - try to look into the schools that are strong in english.
(this applies for any program you wish to study)
Also the women are Ok. 1/3.5 Girls in that school can get the D based on looks alone. So it gets a pass.

The school is what you make of it. By being in such close proximity to Manhattan you will have PLENTY of opportunities to network and land a potential job. Ihad a blast in my time there. I met a lot of good people, and still have close ties to the school. I wouldn't trade my time at St. John's for anything.Yes, it's a dry campus, but if you meet a lot of the commuters etc., you will find there will always be something to do. Also, by being 25 minutes by trainto the city, there is no excuse for ever being bored. Like I said before, the school is what you make of it.
*my Jr. year there the school had their final Spring Fling...it was the only day they allowed alcohol on campus because it was like a big carnival w. games,rides, etc. If you were 21+ (or w. a good ID), they would let you into a fenced off part of the parking lot...they had kegs galore. There was a big fightbetween TKE and another frat, and that was the last year they had it....

Im only seeing hate by current St Johns students, maybe they came and expected it to be heaven, maybe not. I dormed first year (dont regret it) I commutenow(rather live by campus). I really have no complaints besides the tuition costs. If your paying less then 10k out your pocket, its nothing to complain about.Even if your coming for the name, it still does have some sort of meaning. As far as popularity, last time I checked the number of applicants has onlyincreased through the years. And I wouldn't say the school is ghetto, but there is definitely an even set of groups to go around. Like someone saidearlier, check the school out, take a tour, go to orientation, then make your decision. Just because some people didnt fit in doesnt mean you wont.

Wrong, I'm a student worker at one of the dean's office. They are having meetings constantly to boost the dwindling enrollment of students and theresulting budget deficit.
