I find a few problems with this list of schools.
First of all they are all very locally known...a good many would not be recognized by potential employees and that believe it or not is important.
Second, they are extremely expensive...most private (religious) and small colleges cost a fortune.
However, if you are looking at colleges to go to for rich children who want to “save the world” that list is perfect.

I can’t speak for all the other colleges on the YAF list. However, I can attest for Grove City College as I know many conservative Christian parents who have sent their children there.
In 2012, 96% of their graduates found jobs related to their field of work within 4 months of graduation!! With satisfactory starting salaries to boot.
This in an economy that sucks bad like the one we have right now, where REAL unemployment rate is double digits.
And get this, Grove City College is a school that REFUSES to take ANY federal money. They have their own scholarship and financial aid program for their students in need.
And here’s the beauty of it — Their tuition plus board and lodging is a mere $22,000. Every student gets a HP laptop in their freshman year which is theirs to keep after graduation.
And out of over 1270 colleges surveyed nationwide by PAYSCALE, they rank number 247 in ROI ( return on investment ).

Clearly they are doing something right.
