Freedom to flourish should also contain a note of warning to future students. Having the freedom to flourish also means you have the freedom to flop on your face. A kid goes to Knox to grow up and make the hard decisions and with the amount of freedom Knox students recieve when you fall on your face it can be catastrophic. This is a risk you run at any school but I feel that Knox's freedom gives people the sense that they're indestructable and I'd highly recommend that a student be highly motivated.
Knox played itself up as very academic, which it really isn't. At least, not compared to, say, University of Chicago or Washington Univertsity. I was highly prepared in my public high school, unusually so, with amazing faculty and an IB Dploma, and Knox is not difficult enough for me. It's a great school for growing up, learning who you are, and exploring human relations among your proffesors and peers. But if you already know who you are and you've been exposed to liberal ideas, Knox is not that big of a deal.
The internet is the most frustrating thing at my school. The wireless access is very bad and the wired access is spotty.
There are a lot of politically liberal students here who see conservatives and Republicans as stupid. They consider liberal to be the same thing as open-minded, and conservative to be closed-minded, which effectively cuts off the dialogue between the two groups. The small group of conservatives on campus are looked down on. Even liberals with non-liberal leanings can be slightly outcast.
I don't feel that I'm academically challenged enough.
