Furthermore, the St. John campus has students from some 70 countries, and the campus thus fosters a multicultural atmosphere particularly through such events as Chinese New Year, International Potluck, and Latin Nights. In 2003, UNB St. John opened a new building, the Saint John College, which serves as a preparatory facility including a computer language laboratory.
