[quote=Anonymous]I'm somewhat skeptical of "most intellectual colleges" because most so called intellectuals I've met have turned out to be narrow minded and prejudiced people. I grew up in academia, the child of professors at an elite college, and you'd be surprised how many faculty and especially administration people are quite dull and wholly incapable of thinking outside the box and seeing the reality of the much more complicated world than the college campus bubble. There's an enormous amount of group think at these schools and you're certainly pressured to share the standard beliefs and not question the orthodoxy. It wasn't too bad 30 years ago, but it's definitely worse now. People who genuinely want to learn, whether for the sake of learning or for professional advancement, are found at all schools and colleges. Don't restrict yourself to St. John's or Chicago or Swarthmore. [/quote]
