[quote=Anonymous]I am not a alum so I hesitated before saying this, but I do know several people who went to St. Johns. Some graduated, others transferred elsewhere.

It is an unique school and the danger is that some kids in HS fall in love with the idea of St. Johns and the great books, but after a year or two they find it too narrowly defined and small, and realized they wanted a much "broader" experience of a more conventional school (that still offered similar courses). One person I knew who attended St. John's for a year said he loved the great books but didn't realize it would be a "such a dorky school" and transferred to a very preppy NE LAC. Another person I know did graduate from St. Johns but regretted it because she knew she always wanted to go into a STEM master's/PhD and had to take a fifth year elsewhere ($$$$) to catch up on the math/science prereqs for graduate school. But she did meet her husband at St. John's.

In other words, carefully study the school and carefully decide if it 's really the best place.  [/quote]
