Come on man, if you look at the twitters of students at any college/uni you will feel the same how you think that will affect the caliber of your education and in-class discussion is retarded.

I'm not how sure how you got into any university think the twitters of some students represent the school and her student body as a whole.

There's serious and not serious students at every school, how could you think there's a university attended by only 'not serious students' ?

That being said private Catholic universities are great, I always be happy I went to one and I hope it suits you well.

Every university is what you make of it. If you get really lucky you'll have classes with students who care. But even Ivy League and other elite universities have shitloads of undergrads who don't give a fuck, or even worse, undergrads who think they give a fuck because they're precocious little brats but really they are stultifying mediocrities, not really intellectually passionate about anything.

Don't become a big fish in a small pond either.

>studies 9 hours a day
>"calls out" "retarded thoughts"

You just sound autistic.

You should be more worried about getting a degree in liberal arts.

no. this guy just sounds like a serious student, who calls people out on bullshit or half-baked ideas. just sounds to me like a good person to have in scholarly conversations.

OP, to address your questions: I do not go to St. John's but I live in Santa Fe, NM where the college is and have run into some sjc people. They are very academic and very western-canon oriented. If you are into that, you will like it. As far as Santa Fe goes, it's a small (70,000 ppl) town. Boring as far as night life and cultural shit to do, but the mountains are gorgeous. I imagine if you have a cozy apartment and are focused on your academics, it would be a great place to spend your undergrad years. You can go on some really beautiful walks, and take road trips to escape the monotony of the town once in a while.

Current SJC Annapolis campus student, just woke up from a cozy nap and am about to go work on my Greek, ask me anything.

Judging people by their Twitter means you are a fuckboy. Most of the good students don't sit around fingering themselves on Twitter so don't use that as a basis for judgement. Also if you have a bad discussion it's not because of another student it's because of you as well. These are communal undertakings. If you can't work with others don't come.

>Going to undergrad
>Are these people not very serious?
You answered your own question there

thanks for replys, yeah i know i'm a retard for judging people for their twitters, which is why i was asking if more academic types do actually attend.

i was only worried because if there are some bad students, it seems like they can negatively impact the discussions in a big way.

i was only worried because the school is pretty easy to get into, that's all. i understand that all universities have apathetic students.

They won't negatively affect the discussion if you use a dialectic to understand them. If someone says something opinianted, whether you think it right or wrong, there must be some truth buried in it that drove them to say it. You should want to understand them and what motivates them to say dumb shit. Or dismantle the dumb shit.

Don't come into the school thinking you are the smartest person or the most well read because there are some super intelligent and sharp people here. Come open and ready to learn. You get what you put in here.

If you're so serious about your studies why aren't you going to Harvard?

>Idolizing a school because of a name and status

Oh son I'm so sorry...

I kind of regret not going to St. John's. I feel I could have benefitted from firing the Western Cannon.

That said, it's probably expensive as fuck. Can you not read these books on your own, OP?

I got in and considered going there, but decided to got a prestigious liberal arts college with a low acceptance rate instead

St. Johns isn't a Catholic uni.
