Big Pros and a Lot of Little Cons: My Visit to St. John's College in Annapolis

Seminar was great; tutorials were awesome. People talked out of class and were often seen arguing on the quad about ideas that came up in their reading.

But all around, minor details (yet important ones) were being overlooked. Stair treads were falling off, dining hall food was of poor quality, people forgot Annapolis existed, and the showers were cold. There were also a lot more smokers than I expected there to be. All minor things, true, but added together, it makes you wonder the reason. Is St. John's running out of money? Is there a problem in the administration? Why are these important things being completely overlooked?

More later,
