St. John's University - Queens Campus

Founded in 1870 by the Congregation of the Mission, this coeducational Roman Catholic institution operates as the university's primary grounds. Campus access is managed across multiple gates, where security restricts visitors to the specific area designated for their visit, such as graduation ceremonies. Prospective families can explore via student-led tours that move past active facilities—occasionally catching parts of live women's basketball games—alongside structured orientation programs run by campus staff.
