Going to the Bailey Room and playing table football until the early hours in first year, chatting with everyone and anyone at mealtimes, going to the bar with choir or friends. It is these special, but everyday things that made John’s feel like my home for four years.
At St John’s, you can get involved in a whole number of sports and societies. While there are already a large number of things on offer, there is always opportunity for students to organise new teams and societies that fellow Johnians will love.
