[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those posting good things about St. John's, please weigh in on why you feel it's so good. No dog in this fight here, I just am curious as my DC needs to start at least thinking about colleges soon. Very strong writer and analytical thinker re: all history and English, less good at (and not very interested in) math; thoroughly enjoys all science, but especially loves literature, theatre and all writing. So--is St. John's a potential place to consider? Thanks![/quote]

I am not Paleo, nor have I gone to St. John's, but the impression I got from it is that it's a smaller, quirkier version of William & Mary.  Very intellectual vibe and Annapolis, being a small, quiet, and unique place is the perfect setting.  You can think big thoughts away from the hustle and bustle of the city but not be so isolated that there's nowhere to have fun.  Plus, the focus on the classical curriculum can fill in knowledge gaps you may have missed in your self-education or in high school.  It's probably the closest thing that we have to what a truly liberal arts curriculum used to be like.

Correct me if I'm wrong; this is my 1,000 foot view. :)[/quote]

William and Mary is intense.  But I think that's the end of the similarities.[/quote]
