<p>and you’ll read all those great books!</p>
<p>btw, just curious, which campus</p>
<p>Congratulations wondrlst! I was keeping my fingers crossed for you at St. John’s. My child is a rising senior there and I believe he’s getting the best pure education in the US and a wonderful foundation for life. I’m actually quite jealous of it all. I know you’ll have a most rewarding time there. Best of luck!</p>
<p>yah! I’m really excited about that. I’m attending the Annapolis campus- I contemplated long and hard- Santa Fe probably has more of “my people” (haha) but I think Annapolis is a touch more serious, which is good for me because I am so laid back, and need the bit of seriousness, i supose. I dont mean to insult the Santa Fe campus or anything, I am for sure going to go some year, but I decided a bit of intensity is good to start off my college experience with. </p>
<p>SJmom: thank you very much =) does he attend the annapolis campus? I really know that SJC is the best place for my education too- After visiting, I was sure that I would still go to SJC if I got into every school in the US. I know I’ll love it. Thanks again!</p>
<p>Yes he does attend the Annapolis campus. Great campus, great town, easy access to DC and Baltimore, lots to do on campus and off.</p>
<p>I am glad that you came to this decision and that your parents are behind you. I think you made the right choice. Why do I think it was RIGHT? Because you posted how much you loved it when you visited and how it seemed right for you in every way. That “aha” feeling is good enough for me. YOU know what feels right and you found it. That’s what matters. And I am sure if you want it enough, you will find a way to figure out the money end.</p>
<p>My daughter’s best friend at home took a year off to work this year, earn money for college and had deferred at Hampshire, where she will enter next fall. You sound a bit like her. She felt disenfranchised at our public high school but is serious about learning. I believe she has to pay for college herself. She has been working for a few years and I think Hampshire is a good place for her. For some, directing your own learning is just the thing and can be taken quite seriously. </p>
<p>I know someone from our town who goes to St. John’s but it is in Santa Fe.

<p>Oh, thats great, soozievt, about your daughter’s best friend finding her ‘soulschool.’ I might work for a year to finance my education at St. John’s as well- I’d value it more =)</p>
