Saint Johns University

What are the popular events and traditions at Saint Johns University?

Saint John's traditions reflect its Benedictine setting, residential campus and Johnnies athletics. Homecoming brings alumni and current students together around campus events and a football game when one is scheduled.

Religious observances at Saint John's Abbey and University Church are another recurring part of campus life, with participation available to students who choose it. Concerts and performances associated with the institutions' arts programming add events beyond the athletic calendar. Applicants interested in a particular annual celebration should check that year's calendar: event names, venues and schedules can change, and not every campus tradition is an official university requirement.

What are the student housing and dining options at Saint Johns University?

Saint John's provides undergraduate housing on its Collegeville campus, including residence halls and other student housing arrangements. Housing is widely used, but the availability of college-operated housing should not be mistaken for guaranteed placement in a preferred building or room type.

Students should review the current housing application, assignment timetable, eligibility rules and any first-year residency policy before making plans. Reported housing units have high-speed internet access, and first-year students are permitted to register or park a car on campus, subject to current parking rules. Students considering off-campus housing should account for travel to classes on both campuses.

Campus dining includes meal-plan arrangements and dining locations serving residential students. A student comparing plans should check how many meals or dining dollars each provides, where they can be used, and whether a particular housing assignment requires a plan. The academic-year room-and-board estimate appears in the cost section; an individual housing and dining selection may cost differently.
