St. John's college is one of the oldest colleges in the United States. The college has two campuses, on in Maryland and one located in Arizona. The college is famous for it's Great Books curriculum and it's emphasis on the liberal arts. Also, everyone does the exact same major and no one at the college seems to think that's weird.
Students at St. John's at called johnnies and they do not have professors. Instead they have tutors. A St. John's tutor is normally very much like a St. John's student; highly intellectual, quirky, eccentric and either a pot smoker, a regular smoker or a drinker.
Basically if you go to this school you really love old books about old dead people and are the epitome of the intellectual. You probably like tea and mythology too.
St. John's has no test, just oral examinations.
A large percentage of students from St. John's are also admitted to grad school. The ones who do not attend grad school try and find jobs with their liberals arts degrees. So they join the peace corps and shit like that. Or just marry another Johnnie.
If you want to attend St. John's, keep in mind that although they have very high averages for test scores and the like, the admissions committee basically admits you on your essays alone. Everything is secondary.

"Hey, you go to St. John's College?"
"Yeah."
"You like it?"
"Well...like is a relative term...but assuming you're using the same definition I am, which here we shall say means looking fondly upon my experience as a student up until this point, yes."
"Uhm, what are you talking about?"
*gives dirty look*
Girl Jonnie: Hey! Wanna talk about books!"
Boy Jonnie: YES I LOVE THEM
Girl Jonnie: Socrates or Nabakov?
Boy Jonnie: I have an erection
"Yeah."

A private school in Houston, Texas. That is very good and challenging to get into. Besides being very intelligent the kids there tend to be exceptional at Field Hockey, Lacrosse and many other things.

This is the most treacherous school I have seen in my 47 years of living. I sent my kids here for a year and I am already in debt 30,000 dollars. My kids are 4th graders and came home and they stink of the cafeteria and gym. Their feet especially stink band they now have fungus in between their toes. They need to do hygiene protocols. Their penny loafers are demolished after playing in the parking lot. A PARKING LOT!!! My kid almost got ran over by a mini truck. He is now traumatized and mentions it when we go to the family therapist weekly. They need to do hygiene protocols. My kids penny loafers are demolished after playing in the parking lot. A PARKING LOT!! My kid almost got ran over by a mini truck. He now mentions it when we go to the family therapist weekly. They are taught that premarital pregnancy is a sin. Me and my hunky (FIFTH) cousin/husband had our first child at 14 years old. Ever since then, we now have 7.5 kids and are living in a BEAUTIFUL trailer. So are we going to hell???? HUH?!?! DON’T SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. ZERO STARS. ZERO.
“St.John the Baptist gives your kids foot fungus and obesity.”
“I sent my kid to St. John the Baptist and are now in debt by 40,000 dollars.”

The professors are the most knowledgeable, down-to-earth people I have ever met. College professors are different than high-school teachers; professors are interested in you, you as a person. Not only this but they are all willing to help, they want the best for your education, and focus more on how much you can learn instead of the grade they have to give. The man in charge of the Honors Program, Dr. Foreman, has a heart merely to listen to his students, and spread his knowledge to them, and makes sure to leave his door open to any student who needs to talk. The students and professors here are sincerely the greatest are slowly shaping me and my entire education into the person I always pictured myself being.
