St. John's College

[Jae Rae]

Is anyone a graduate (Annapolis or Santa Fe)?

They offer one undergrad degree in the Great Books. [They also offer a graduate degree in Eastern classics.] They aren't Ivy League, but a large percentage of grads go on to get advanced degrees, go to med school, law school, business school, etc.

I have 2 friends who went there and they swear by the place. One of them went on to get the Eastern classics graduate degree. I'm curious what others' experience has been.

Discuss pros, cons, rigor, further degrees, etc.

I'd like to hear about your friends' experience there. I am considering their graduate program in the liberal arts.

I don't know about the graduate program in the liberal arts. One of my friends got a masters in Eastern Classics (or Studies). He loved both programs (under and graduate).

I could put you in touch with him if interested.

I'm bringing this thread back because this is my number one choice for a school. Does anyone here have any anecdotal information about it?

Anyone who is an INTX and college-bound should look into this school. Or enneagram 5w4. It is so atypical and has a delicious, overly cerebral environment.
