Admissions

Visit the college, sit in on the classes, and be open to speaking your opinions and changing them when faced with a better option! The school is very social and intimate and I suggest you learn to be comfortable with other people and not argue your own points without adequate support. Get in contact with students and talk about the different aspects of the school.

Understanding the St. John's curriculum is one thing and appreciating it is another. However if you are able to grasp both of these aspects of learning under this curriculum then you sure belong to the St. John's community.

Do not be afraid to be wrong. It is only natural because we are human, and St. John's will show you by its very nature how it feels to be right and wrong. The great thing about this place, and sometimes the roughest thing to deal with, is confronting yourself and figuring out the kind of person that you want to be. If you are ready to see this view of yourself through the eyes of hundreds of generations of great authors, then this is the education for you and it will build your life and the lives of the others around you substantially.

Make sure you're ready to be challenged and stretched fully (academically). Visit the school and ask questions. Visit the website and read everything. Do the overnight, where you'll be able to sit in classes and a seminar. Don't be afraid to do a second overnight.
