For the most part, the Classics students I knew were just nerdy Catholics, given the fact it's a Jesuit school. On the other side, I actually had to basically explain Platonic idealism to a classroom of third year philosophy majors. Thus, I was somewhat assumed to be a neoplatonist just because I knew Plato.
But I'm digressing. My Aristotle/Plato teacher was fantastic, though. He looked like Stephen Fry and had a fondness for wine. Brilliantly, he dismissed pretty much all modern philosophy as "Montaigne rubbish."
