Date: April 24th, 2018 11:39 PM Author: arousing box office Less clear. It's hard to justify given the current absurd cost of college and current credentialing culture. In an ideal world, it may be CR. In this one, it's perhaps only worthwhile for a talented HS-age kid who can then go on to getting practical training in college.

Date: April 24th, 2018 9:42 PM Author: arousing box office Most college is irrelevant and useless. St. John's is at least serious and not simply a dumbed-down quasi-resort.
Also I think a ton of them do graduate or professional programs. |
