With rare exceptions, most buildings on the 圣达菲 campus have at least one balcony, 大多数人都有很多. This includes residence halls, where 85 percent of halls have at least one balcony that students can access. Some balconies are large 和 some are small. Some are private 和 most are shared. All provide views of open skies, mountains so close you can almost touch them, or trails winding right up to the edge of your building. 结果? A campus-wide culture where gatherings of all kinds happen high in the sky—from reading groups 和 dinner parties to b和 practices 和 tutor-student gatherings. In short, the 圣达菲 campus cherishes our balcony culture.

Courtyards are another centerpiece of residential life on the 圣达菲 campus. Commonly equipped with benches 和 tables, they are great places to read, work on mathematical proofs, 和 hold study groups on your favorite books. They are also great social gathering spots. If you’re craving a game of P和emic, 国际象棋, or Dungeons 和 Dragons, head out to the courtyard with friends 和 you’re likely to draw a crowd. Need to stretch out for b和 practice? Accordions 和 banjos are more than welcome here.

The 咖啡店 is located next to St. 约翰的 renowned Bookstore, 和 students often bounce between the two. While the Bookstore offers books, 赃物, 和 essential supplies, the 咖啡店 features comfy couches to tuck into 和 read.

营业至晚上11:30.m., the 咖啡店 offers much more than coffee. Each day, the breakfast 和 lunch menus change daily in order to provide a diversity of cuisine. A wide variety of drinks 和 packaged snacks are also on offer, including free naturally flavored iced teas 和 waters. And our coffee comes to us care of the renowned Ikonic Coffee, a roasting house 和 local coffee chain that is owned 和 operated by a St. 约翰的明矾.

洞穴 is the late-night option for night owls—which is what most Johnnies are. Run by students 和 located on the bottom floor of Pritzker Student Center, 洞穴 is our student-run performance venue where singers, 乐队, 单口喜剧, 诗人, 和 more test out their latest works on a warm crowd of fellow Johnnies 和 friends. You might also catch some serious online gaming competitions, fierce board game rivalries, 和 a regular crowd of musicians engaging in the opposite of competition: jamming for the sake of jamming alone.

It might be sacrilegious to talk about our beloved Bookstore as just another place to get some goodies, as the Bookstore is the most hallowed place on campus after Meem Library 和 our seminar rooms. But it’s also the best place to find a wide variety of basics, from chocolate 和 chapstick to sweatshirts 和 water bottles. Located next to the 咖啡店, it’s an easy stop on your way to get coffee before class, 和 a lively one where friends often gather in conversation (和 alumni return for the best 赃物 around).
