All of the rooms have their own private baths and meals are provided by the St. John's College Dining Society. There are also common areas with kitchens and students can fix their own meals during times meals are not provided by the college.

Prospective residential students at St. John's College must fill out an application, submit a CV, as well as one academic reference. Students must stay for a minimum of five months.
