i would have to agree. jesuit schools can be some of the most rigorous and inspiring people come out of them.

i think it's the torturous mental gymnastics they make them perform. latin would tax anyone. they also learn massive amounts of western history, and much about pyschology as well. i have a lot respect for many of my catholic and jesuit school friends. they're not often extremely technically literate, but they're fun, and they can learn things very quickly.
