Beautiful campus. Certainly to be considered if I were a prospective student. Located in the historic center of town, walking distance to attractions and MANY restaurants, as well as waterfront. More

The grounds are interesting with the older buildings, but even though we had kids with us there were students using some pretty rough language. The students at the Naval Academy were much more polite. More

My son spent the night at St John's as a perspective student. My husband and I visited the college and met the administration and students. I think he found the best college! More

Their curriculum may appeal to only a select few, but, WOW, what a great experience for those students looking for a fantastic education based on reading the "great books" from Western literature. Lovely campus too. More

Go back to the Great Gatsby with the Annual St.Johns vs the Naval Academy Croquet match. Many dressed in perios costume and much fun. Great place to grab a spot for an impromptu picnic. Get Lunch at Potato valley on State Circle and walk over and picnic on the lawn. It doesn't get any better than this. More
