St John's University-New York (SJU) Campus

Primarily known as the "lax field", Dasilva Memorial Field is a place where students constantly gather to play pickup soccer, get some cardio in by running on the track, or watch the track and lax teams play. It's also where intramural softball and football are played!

Ryan shows us a great hidden view at St. John's. By the 9/11 memorial fountain, one can sit on a bench and overlook the Manhattan skyline as the sun sets!

Ryan starts his day with a cup of coffee and begins his 5 minute walk to class. As he absorbs the caffeine, he tells you about where Freshmen live on campus, DaSilva and Hollis Halls. On the quad, residents often play different sports and hang out! !here_should_be_iframe! N/A !here_should_be_latitude! 40.721979 !here_should_be_longitude! -73.795301

Located right outside St. John's Hall, Ryan shows us one of the biggest hangout spots at St. John's, the Great Lawn! When the weather gets nice, the Great Lawn is flooded with people playing sports, tanning, and just having a good time.

On his way to get some work done, Ryan talks about how New York City has four seasons. It can be freezing, sweltering, and everything in between. The biggest weather aspect that may be unique to St. John's, however is (as you can hear in the video) the wind. The way the buildings are constructed in relation to each other creates a lot of wind tunnels that can make capturing audio difficult!

Kendall is a freshman who lives in Ryan's building of DaSilva Hall. He came to St. John's in New York to explore, grow, and, as you can see, expand upon his love life. He and Ryan sit down for a meal in Marillac Cafeteria!

Another great view of the city can be found behind the D'Angelo Center. It's here where students are reminded that the city of Manhattan is a short train ride away from campus!

The library is a place where students can quietly research and do work without having to own books, themselves! Ryan, out of respect to the people working around him, couldn't talk much, but he gives us an idea of how St. John's library works.

Here, Ryan shows us Taffner Field House, an open gym on campus for students to play basketball. Simply by showing your ID card, you can get a basketball and hoop away! Intramural tournaments are often played here, but, when they're not, it's king of the court!

St. John's University has approximately 16,000 undergraduate students total, but just under 3,000 actually live on campus. So, though at times SJU can feel like a very highly populated school, the on-campus living community remains tight knit. We also get a guest appearance from one of Ryan's friends, Declan.

I decided to share my experience at accepted students day, in this video we will be diving into the REAL TEA about St. John's University's Accepted Students Day!

On his way to class, Ryan shows us the upperclassmen quad which consists of O'Connor Hall, Carey Hall, and Century Hall. Just like the Freshmen quad, people are always playing sports and hanging out on the quad when the weather gets nice.
