St John's has incredibly outdated facilities and an apathetic student body. The building is excruciatingly hot in June and September, yet students are never permitted to wear shorts. Students vape in the bathrooms and the administrators pretend that doesn't happen. Cafeteria food is unhealthy and very overpriced, but students are not allowed to go out to eat for all four years.

In 1984, when I started SJP, I was so excited. I had a great 4 years and I met some wonderful people. When my son started SJP in 2017, I was so thrilled for him. He was a legacy after all. My mother-in-law was in the first graduating class. My husband, my sister-in-law, my son’s godmother, my cousin...
