With two campuses and a reputation for \u201cgreat books and great conversations,\u201d St. John\u2019s centers its entire academic experience on small classes and shared inquiry. Rather than offering traditional majors or interdisciplinary programs, the college rejects the idea of academic disciplines altogether\u2014every student reads the same texts and wrestles with timeless questions like \u201cHow do I live a good life?\u201d Ben and Maggie discuss why this approach can be powerful for students, the skills it develops, and the outcomes graduates experience. In the second segment, Sally is joined by finance expert Zachery Gries to address a common concern for families: what to do if you don\u2019t have enough money saved to cover all four years of college. Zachery walks through different ways families pay for college, the need to reassess resources as a student progresses (since costs and need\u2011based aid can change), and the tradeoffs between maintaining flexibility and making choices that could reduce overall costs.
