<p>On St. John’s-I did not apply, but I am a double legacy (the only school I have legacy at actually) It is a very commuter school. When my parents went in the 80’s there were no dorms, so those are a very recent addition and I can see where most students still live at home. Also, I’m not one to say an area is bad, but depending where you’re from, Jamaica can be a huge difference. Basically, my mom said and no offense to anyone “You’re too white to live in Jamaica”. It’s not a good area. I was born right around there and we moved shortly after because my parents heard someone get shot in front of our house. My grandparents lived around there until recently and my parents say it’s a bit better, but still made me and my fifteen year old brother walk together.
But from what I’ve heard of the school itself, it’s good. My father has done extremely well for himself but started without any scholarship money and nearly didn’t graduate. My mother is a retired teacher who occasionally subs, but was given a full scholarship. So you be the judge on that. That could just be my parents.</p>
