Students
On average, there are over 14,000 undergraduate students and nearly 2,000 graduate students. Nearly 100 different nationalities are represented in the student body.
John Jay College is considered a "commuter college"; all students reside at home. Ninety-three percent of its students are in-state students. Many graduate students come from out of state and often live in the City College dorm called the Towers at City College or Educational Housing Services.
The college has a student government consisting of the Student Council, the Judicial Board, and various student organizations known collectively as "Clubs". "Club Row" is the nickname in the college for a series of hallways where the student clubs are given space. Student organizations that are given the title "Essential Service" by the City University of New York include The John Jay Times, the school's theater group known as the "John Jay Players", and the campus radio station known as WJJC.
