...Rethink How You Learn Just as not all students learn alike, not all colleges serve the standard fare of a core curriculum and electives. At St. John's College, which has campuses in Annapolis, Md., and Santa Fe, N.M., students study nothing but the great books, retracing the grand arc of Western thought and literature from Plato and Plutarch in freshman year to Marx and Melville in senior year.

Van Cleef ’06 opened a store in Inman Square earlier this month to sell 14 different styles of clothes and accessories for her VES senior thesis.
