Its first school, the Law School, opened in 1925. Initially located in Brooklyn, the university (then known as a college) relocated to Queens in the 1950s and became a university in 1933.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1959, St. John\u2019s established the Institute of Freedom to host lectures highlighting the dangers of communism. The institution also founded the Institute of Asian Studies and the Center for African Studies to address essential issues. In 1962, <em>Time<\/em> magazine praised the university for admitting Jewish students from low-income families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1971, St. John\u2019s University merged with the private, women-only Notre Dame College, expanding its offerings to include bachelor\u2019s degrees in the liberal arts, business, and education. By 1990, tuition costs were half that of New York University and Columbia University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1995, St. John\u2019s launched its first international campus in Rome, and by 1999, residence halls were built on the main Queens campus, increasing enrollment from both international students and Americans from outside New York.
