[quote=Anonymous]I went with my daughter who loved the curriculum.  The curriculum is incredible for those who want that kind of core curriculum.  There is a lot to love about the seminar classes and focus on engaging deeply in material and conversation. However, there is a big attrition rate because the experience of college is more than classes.  There are so few students there to connect with and that is great for small classes but tough for a robust experience where you can meet new people through clubs, etc. that just doesn't exist. The food is just awful which doesn't seem like a big deal unless you have to eat it 3x a day most days a week. I was shocked at how bad it was.  If you love what St Johns offers you should look at UChicago and Columbia which are the only other non-religious schools that offer the kind of commitment to the core curriculum.  The most recent president of St Johns left last year to go help found/run the University of Austin (brand new college focused on open dialogue run by mostly liberatarian/right wingers with a sprinkling of non-cancel culture liberals).
