From the beginning of O-Week, we’re encouraged to break free from the grip of our phones and embrace real conversations, genuine connections, and the opportunities they bring. This, I believe, is at the heart of a culture unmatched by any other college and creates that instant feeling of an electric and welcoming community.

Being at John's has shaped my understanding of what it means to be a good mate, a leader, and a true part of a community.

It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the friends and memories I’ve made are for life.
