There are over 1,000 students at St. Joseph’s College on Long Island. All of the students, young and old, freshmen and graduate students all notice trends within the school. Whether they involve academics, student life, or free food, everyone can say they have experienced it.
1. The parking lot is always so packed, but the training you get from finding a spot at SJC helps you find spots in other places.
2. You’ve realized you’re walking within a geese-patrolled campus.
3. When you've walked behind someone at the entrance, he or she will always hold the door open for you.
4. When you are walking from the first floor of O’Connor Hall or the C-Level in the BT to the top floors, with each step, you’re becoming more and more winded; you realize how out of shape you actually are.
5. You sit down in class with the same 30 students in your major. It is like a reunion each semester.
6. Common hour rolls around. If you pay attention, you never have to pay for food; there’s always free food somewhere on campus.
7. You see a flyer for a club meeting during common hour. You find yourself to be bored and lonely so you walk into the room. Everyone greets you and welcomes you to the club right away.
8. If you did not find free food, you head down to the cafeteria. You see people watching The Price is Right on TV or playing Nintendo.
9. You have a class scheduled from 6:15-9:00 p.m. once a week. Your professor will wrap it up around 8 p.m and say have a good week; they don’t want to be there that late either.
10. Around the time of final exams, the library, cafeteria, and lounges are packed with people studying. You find a spot to study out of sheer luck.
