Institution that is brought down by idiots who think just because this university is not Ivy League it must be easy, and when they don't get good grades they blame it on the teachers, or how expensive it is, or whatever else they can come up with. I've seen complete idiots and some of the smartest people I know in this school (and I have friends in Ivy Leagues and "better" schools than this one).
One of the most diverse schools in the nation, ethnic and personality wise. There are schools with great ehtnic diversity, but they all happen to be the same uptight assholes (Georgetown, ajem ajem). There are assholes here too, but they must be 5% of the total population. You can find all kinds of personalities here, and I love that. Fine education, for those who know how to use it (no it won't be handed down to you on a silver platter, work for it lazy ass), and great basketball and soccer teams.
It's in Queens, an hour away from Manhattan. Not a bad location, specially if the city is too much for you.

Get the st. john's university mug.A school that will accept anyone who is willing to pay the high tuition and or is fortunate enough to pay out of pocket without one of their generous scholarships that 90% of the student body is on. A school, which tries to act like a University but, in the end, they really are an average college in Queens pumped up on steroids. At the most random places throughout the campus, there will be Indians bowing down on the floor as if they are visually seeing Christ’s body. People on campus think it is normal to be have a Redneck, African American, Asian, and Indian sit at a lunch table together and be friends. Coming to class slightly sweaty in a t-shirt and workout pants is considered classy. The only place in all of NYC were wearing all red does not signify that you are part of the Bloods. Completely possible to not show up to class in a 50-person classroom and just come in on the last day of class to take the final and end up passing the course when class participations consist of 25% of the overall grade. Every student thinks they must be part of an organization that is related to their major or they will never land a job after graduation. Students are amazed at how spectacular the DAC is, when in reality, it is a giant building that is 2 years old, with white slate floors that have already turned completely black due to the cleaning service only cleaning once per week.
"Where do you go to school Jonny?" "St. John's University!" "That sucks, try not to get blown up, they got terrorists over there!"

Get the St. John's University mug.A high school located in Astoria, Queens. This school is affiliated with St. John's University and the students are all from different parts of the city. Many ethnic groups go to the school: Greeks, Italians, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Poles, and Asians. The school's academic system consists of four different levels. The level you get put in is determined by your 8th grade average and a special placement test. Each level has a diffferent difficulty. Level 1-Remedial, Level 2-Average, Level 3-Regents, and Level 4-Honors.
Most of the students are in level 2. However, the next highest people are in level 1. Usually, there's only 1 or 2 Honors and Regents classes per year. Most of the teachers at the school are pretty good instructors. Some of them have even been there for 20 years or more.
Despite the fact that the school is very good for high academic achievers, there's the social problems of the school. Sadly, many of the students are rap-loving imbeciles who will make fun of you if you're intelligent or if they consider you a nerd. Infact, some of them pick on other students for no real reason at all. Many of the sensible students are in Honors and Regents. Not too many are in the levels below.
There is also the problem of fights. This year, there were over 4 fights in the Freshman year alone. There have also been two freshmen expelled.
Despite all this, the school is still pretty good.
