St. John's University offers a vibrant student life with over 180 student organizations that cater to a wide array of interests. There are cultural organizations, academic societies, special interest clubs, and much more. A notable organization is the Student Government, Inc., which is entirely student-run and works hard to represent the interests of the student body.

The university regularly hosts a variety of campus events that range from concerts and festivals to guest speakers and academic forums. As a student, you'll have ample opportunity to be an active participant in campus life, attend events and social gatherings, and explore your interests outside of your academic pursuits.

As for the general campus atmosphere, students typically describe it as diverse and engaging. The university is rich in cultural and social diversity, providing a welcoming environment where all students can feel at home. There's a sense of community that pervades the campus, and it's easy to make friends and find your place among the student body.

For fitness enthusiasts, there are sports clubs and intramurals available, and you can also take advantage of the university's fitness center. For those interested in exploring New York, the Queens campus’s location is a major advantage. With easy access to public transportation, you can dive into the rich culture, entertainment, and career opportunities living in New York City provides.

You can also attend Division I games in the Big East Conference, as St. John's has a proud athletic tradition, with strong biases towards men’s basketball and soccer. Campus spirit is high, especially during home games.

Bear in mind that these are general descriptions and the best way to truly get to know St John's University's student life is by visiting the campus (if feasible), attending open house events, or connecting with current students or alumni.
