With a high school senior that visited both schools in the past year, I always viewed St. Thomas as the place that was happening. (this was the impression I had living in the cities as well), but upon visiting St. John's and listening to the alumni involvement in the school, the ticket sales and attendance for the St. John's / St. Thomas football games (about 3 to 1 st. johns), I asked the question "why is st. Thomas perceived as the better or more advanced school?" Best answer I heard. Big Marketing budget promoting themselves which is true. With a couple of high profile donors and the down town Minneapolis and St. Paul locations. It gets the Minneapolis media exposure, that the other schools do not.

In the process of choosing a college, the alumni came out from St. Johns to promote their school. Didn't hear much from St. Thomas.

So I find the fact St. Thomas is viewed this way as somewhat overblown.
my brother was at St Thomas and told my little brother who had football offer from both to goto St Johns because it's more of a college vibe up there.
