Sometimes I wish I had gone to a school like Thomas Aquinas (or the similar and more famous St. John's), where it would be nearly impossible not to be challenged. Though in a way it was fun that college was as easy as it was, I have no doubt I would have benefited personally from something a little more rigorous.
However, some of the best critical thinkers—and true intellectuals—I know went to top Ivy League schools, and I have no doubt that these schools still offer an excellent education to those who seek one (and eschew gender studies classes and the like in favor of solid classes such as economics and the history of philosophy).

Hmmm... I wonder what college you are refering to that was "as easy as it was".
