  The main campus of Saint Peter's University comprises nearly 30 acres in the heart of Jersey City, the second largest city in New Jersey. In Jersey City, students can view the Statue of Liberty from Liberty State Park, enjoy the lively restaurant scene or tour the Liberty Science Center. Just minutes from the Journal Square PATH Station, a major hub connecting Jersey City with Newark, Hoboken and New York City, the urban-residential campus is located just minutes from New York City.

  Once in New York City, our students can take full advantage of all the cultural, social and academic opportunities that Manhattan has to offer. Students are just a few stops on the PATH train away from seeing a Broadway show, going to a museum, cheering on their favorite teams at Madison Square Garden or strolling through Central Park.

  Saint Peter's University offers more than 70 clubs and organizations that create a vibrant campus life and offer you a chance to develop leadership and interpersonal skills, earn important resume credits and have a lot of fun in the process. All student activities have a service component to contribute to the local community. 

  All of these organizations are student led. They include an incredibly diverse number of cultural organizations, performing arts such as dance, chorale and theater, pre-professional and academic clubs, honor societies, service oriented activities, publications and media, student government and many special interest groups.
