I see Christians sending their kids to “safe” Christian colleges and saddling their kids with a lifetime of debt. NOT GOOD.

Far better to live at home for two years while attending junior college, and then sending an older student away to a public university with trusted friends and/or siblings. Our local junior college isn’t nearly as liberal as most universities. In fact, a couple of the teachers there go to my church. :)

“University of Maine at Presque Isle”

LOL! Save the tuition and take a vacation there instead!

Wow has the cost at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh skyrocketed! My wife's parents met there a LONG time ago. They certainly didn't have that kind of money. Both did pretty well for themselves though raising 6 kids. One thing they were proud of was they designed the original Pittsburgh Penguins logo. Not bad for a couple of kids at an art institute. Sadly the both passed early before the Penguins became a powerhouse.

I was at NC State back in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

Meredith College, along with Peace College and St. Mary’s College, served chiefly to place eligible females in close proximity to male Engineering students.

I gather that basically all the negative ROI schools are for rich, libtard kids.
