Student Life
When they aren’t engaged in studying or clinical work, St. Joseph’s students have many opportunities for socializing and recreation. The College sponsors frequent activities and countless other opportunities available in and around Syracuse.
STUDENT Body Involvement
Students are members of select college committees of the College of Nursing, which develop the College’s objectives as well as plans, implements and evaluates the curriculum. Student members serve as liaisons between the faculty and the student body.
Residence Halls
St. Joseph’s has residence facilities for students. Most rooms are doubles, but private rooms may be available. Each residence floor has a large lounge area, kitchen appliances, cable television, computer stations and a laundry facility.
Our new student center provides all students with a large lounge and dining area, conference room for group meetings, quiet study rooms with whiteboard painted walls and dedicated testing space.
Students are paired with roommates based on their responses to a housing questionnaire. Assignments are made without respect to color, race, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin or handicap.
Students must sign a contract to live in the residence hall. Students must abide by both the student code of conduct and the resident rules, policies, and guidelines.
