St John's University may refer to:St. John's University St. John's University School of Law St. John's University (Italy), overseas campus in Rome, Italy College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University, St. Joseph, Minnesota and Collegeville, Minnesota St. John's University, Minnesota (CDP), a census-designated place in Minnesota St. John's University (1887–1952), in Shanghai, China St. John's University (Taiwan), successor institution of the St. John's University in Shanghai St. John's University, an unaccredited institution later based in Temecula, California St. John's University of Tanzania, in Dodoma, Tanzania, East Africa St. John's University School of Medicine, unaccredited medical school supposedly based in Montserrat Saint John's Group of Schools and University, in Bangkok, Thailand

This small Catholic men's college in rural Minnesota (partnered with nearby Saint Benedict's for a coordinate experience) offers a genuinely accessible path — 90% acceptance — with median earnings of $67,100 a decade out and relatively modest debt of $23,250 at graduation, which is a reasonable return on investment. The 76% graduation rate is decent but not exceptional, meaning roughly 1 in 4 students don't finish, so it's worth asking what support systems are in place if a student hits academic or personal obstacles. Worth considering if a student thrives in a tight-knit, faith-influenced community and wants a liberal arts education without taking on crushing debt.
