<p>what about engineering?</p>
<p>Not a lot go into engineering, but a few do.</p>
<p>I like to take pictures of the campus, so I'll post a few here--this is the Santa Fe campus.

<p>Wow, I just received a brochure in the mail from St. John's.... It sounds really cool. I may apply (I have a while before the time comes). The only thing that puts me off is the lack of selection. In a way, I'd find that comforting, but I'm afraid I'd end up feeling so limited. I'll definitely look into it, anyway. And those pictures are really pretty. I've never, ever considered going to college in the Southwest, but those photos are changing my mind. </p>
<p>And what if you already know French? Or have already studied higher level calculus? (for example)</p>
<p>You still have to take all the classes.
The way the classes are taught are dramatically different--so that even if you already know calculas you don't know St. John's Calculas. As you become more familiar with the St. John's program this will become clear.</p>
<p>I got my financial aid statement..and I got nothing. No way can i afford 42K/year...it doesn't look very likely that I'll be attending. It sucks, too, I really really wanted to go.</p>
<p>That really sucks, wondrlst. The financial aid office@ Santa Fe made it possible for me (annapolis didn't give me anything). It's a big investment but I think it's worth it.
What was your EFC?</p>
<p>Hello!
I am going to St. John's in New Mexico next year, and I would be interested in speaking to any current students who would be willing to chat about the school, or anyone else who will be attending next year. E-mail me at <a href="mailto:sweetchic41@aol.com">sweetchic41@aol.com</a> if you wish. (and don't make fun of the e-mail address, i haven't changed it since 7th grade)
monica</p>
<p>hey! i was accepted to annapolis, but probably won't be attending because it just costs too much. congrats, though =)</p>
<p>Actually, davidav87, i really do not know my efc off the top of my head. someone on financial aid board i posted in suggested going to st john's for 2 years and transferring..do a lot of people do that? i feel like it sort of cheats the system or something. i mean, it woudl sort of be ideal because i could make use of all my college credits, and not pay as much but, like i said, i woudl feel like im manipulating the system.</p>
<p>I wouldn't go with the intent of transferring. Instead, perhaps, you could go to another college and then go through the graduate program in Liberal Arts @ St. John's. it is a 1-year program and substantially less expensive.</p>
<p>what percentage of St. John's students have at some point attended a Montessori school?</p>
<p>The learning styles seem similar to me (I went to Montessoris from age 2-12. I went to a conventional school from 7th-11th grade.. and continue to be dissatisfied, which is why I am very interested in St John's)</p>
<p>I've never heard of Montessori, but I'm sure a few have...</p>
<p>What was your need wondrlst? As in, the number your sar gave you on the fafsa?</p>
<p>WOW. So far, St. John's sounds like an awesome place. Although I posted my questions below in another post, I was wondering if any of you can answer my questions:</p>
<p>"I really want to transfer into St. John's, except there is one thing that I have to find out. I am currently a Math and Physics double-major. I know that for these majors, most other colleges (including the one I am attending now) require a butt-load of different physics and math classes. I hope to one day get into graduate school for both degrees. Does SJC prepare me for both? Do they teach you there things like linear algebra, partial differential equations, quantum mechanics, etc.? My fear is not being prepared enough for graduate school. Sure, many alumni of SJC become engineers, architects, and stuff, but how was their graduate school experience like? I guess I'm just nervous. Can someone please tell me the basic curricula for SJC's math and science?"</p>
<p>I am also wondering how's dorm life like at SJC Annapolis. Can someone tell me anything about that campus? I'm from MD, and my parents don't want me drifting as far as NM. So far, NM sounds a lot better. I don't want to miss out in anthing good! Help!</p>
<p>Hey davidav87,
I hope I’m not taxing your patience. Everything you’ve written so far has been overwhelmingly helpful. My parents made it very clear that paying for a private college was out of the question. I was accepted to several UCs and currently am attending a community college. I’m currently paying my own tuition. What are the chances of transfer from a CC? As an independent would I be eligible for financial aid?</p>
<p>St. John’s offers very generous financial aid packages provided that you apply early since the aid is offered on a “first-come” basis.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m seriously considering St. John’s Santa Fe for this fall, and wanted to ask a bit of a random question that I haven’t seen addressed… How many students are asked to leave after the Sophomore Don Rag? Is that something that concerns anyone else? Thanks!</p>
<p>That number changes from year to year. It’s not about keeping a certain number at the school. It’s all about the individual performance of the student in question. In recent years on the Annapolis campus, there have only been a couple of people asked to leave, and this occurs for a variety of reasons, not only academic performance. It is often remarked that the students who are going to be asked to leave already know by the time their Don Rags come around. It’s a place where you can tell easily if you fit in or not quite.</p>
<p>I know people have asked about the campuses before, but I’m a little fuzzy. Is housing guaranteed at both campuses all four years? Do most students stay on campus through senior year? How are the dorm rooms organized? Thanks!</p>
