<p>as I am a chinese, I am a little bit confused about these school, also, I can not find a website talk about wihch one is better in engineering? can anybody tell me which website say something about this ? thank you very much</p>
<p>to be honest, neither is that great at engineering</p>
<p>St Johns in MN is all male.</p>
<p>These are three very different schools, but none of the three have engineering programs on campus.</p>
<p>St. John’s University in NY is a large (15,000 undergraduates), Catholic university in the Queens section of New York City. It does not have an engineering program but does offer a five-year dual-degree program in engineering in conjunction with other NYC schools. In a dual-degree program a student takes the typical diversified classes for a liberal arts degree, usually with a science/math emphasis, in the first three years and then re-locates to another school with an engineering program for the remaining two years. The extra year spent nets two different degrees, a liberal arts BA or BS and an engineering bachelor’s degree (BSEE, for example).</p>
<p>St. John’s University in MN is a small (2,000 undergraduates) Catholic school in the small town of Collegeville, MN. It is really a liberal arts college, in spite of its name, and students there receive the typical American liberal arts education with exposure to many areas of study and a concentration in one. It, too, offers a dual-degree program, in this case with the University of MN (about 1.5 hours driving time away) or either St. Cloud State University in MN (about ½ hour away) or Washington University in St. Louis (MO) – the school’s Website gave contradictory information about the 2nd location. As was mentioned above, SJU in MN is all-male, but it has a very close relationship with the all-female College of St. Benedict’s. The students at each school share classes.</p>
<p>St. John’s College in NM, and its twin in MD, is a tiny school (about 400 undergraduates) in the middle-sized city of Santa Fe with no religious affiliation which also offers a liberal arts education, but with a highly specialized approach. Its curriculum is based almost entirely on reading what are known as “great books” – the seminal works of famous (mostly European) philosophers, writers, and scientists from classical Greek and Roman times up through the early 20th century. These texts are viewed as foundational to Euro-American (i.e., “western”) culture. My understanding is that even mathematics courses are taught from such books, using Euclid to study geometry, for example. While there is merit in this approach, it is one which most would regard as unsuitable for immediately pursuing a modern technology degree and, indeed, it appears that the college does not even offer a dual-degree program.</p>
<p>thank you very much descartesz,^ ^ when I find something websites about St. Johns University in MN, nothing shows that it is a all-male college(however, I have to admit that most websites are chinese), so thank you for reminding me. also, what do you think about St. Benedicts , it seems that this school 's rank drops this year.</p>
<p>There is nothing going on there that I know of which would cause the school to decline in quality. If its dropping in the rankings, I would tend to think this shows something about the reliability of the rankings rather than the quality of the school.</p>
<p>Here is a link to answer some questions about the two schools:</p>

<p>And here is link to the schools’ forum on CC:</p>

<p>(Not a very active forum, but as a rule midwest students are less concerned about parsing the status of their schools than are students on the coasts.)</p>
<p>I suggest that you, as a foreign student, be most concerned about how well foreign students fit at this school. CB/SJU is essentially a regional college with the vast majority of its students coming from the state of MN. I do not know to what degree they seek and welcome foreign students. (This is not a warning but a suggestion out of my own ignorance.) You might email someone in the admissions department to inquire more fully if you are interested in more information.</p>
<p>Since you are from China and maybe confused…
First make sure you are familiar with US state abbreviations… MN=Minnesota (near Canada), NM = New Mexico (in the southwestern US on the border with Mexico). MD = Maryland (East Coast). Maybe the geography lesson wasn’t necessary, but just in case…</p>
<p>thank you descartesz.
also, thank you mergo,I have already learn something about the geography about USA, and the geography is also the thing that I concerned a lot when I choose my school.</p>
<p>I have seen the website of CB. I think this is a good school for engineering, after 3 years in this school , I have a good chance to go to washington university of St. louis to keep on study.also, will I recieve finacial aid if I go to another university? for example, after 3 years,if I go to washington university of St. louis ,will I have FA from WUS? thank you^ ^</p>
<p>^-^descartesz, I have sent you a message, just in case you do not notice</p>
