I graduated from St. John’s College about 30 years ago. Great school with lots of grads going into law, medicine, or academia. Very interesting to see the variety and depth of occupations among my classmates. I have a very decent and satisfying career but not on their level.

Thank you for your feedback on St. John's. DS is still not sure and this is helpful. I love that it's so different, but he needs to embrace the different. I know you had said 30 years, but socially will it be okay? It's so small.

It’s definitely small. It has a second campus in Santa Fe, NM and many students, including me, spend 1 or 2 years on each campus to expand their circle a bit. That was a huge plus for me at least.

If your son is interested, he should visit the campus and see if it’s a fit. Let me check but I believe they also offer one week seminar “camps” in the summer to study some of the Great Books in a group. That would be a great trial run.

Davidson for the win. It's a wonderful school in a moderate climate with outstanding resources. The undergrad experience is truly amazing.

It’s an outstanding education. One of the best. Your kid will work incredibly hard and will be a deep thinker. Every Reedie I know is unbelievably smart and has been able to carve a really interesting path.

Can someone explain the open drug policy?

And for pp, has every Reedie you’ve known been able to support himself financially?

Math major, likely double major with a social science
Values the scholarship and learning above all. Wants to be among smart people really interested in learning. Doesn’t care about frats or social atmosphere, doesn’t care about sports. Wants a diverse campus.

That is a weird perspective for any 18-year-old to have. You sure your kid really doesn't care about any of these things?

PP, you don't know anyone with a grad degree in math, do you? I'm the poster who said UMD Honors by a mile. Someone else suggested Case, but I don't think Case is really diverse, certainly not when compared to College Park.

Sounds like a very interesting young man or woman.
