How does Hope College in Holland MI rank?
15 hours a week working on campus used to just be a warm-up gig for many college students largely paying their own way through school.
My son is already doing 15 and he hasn’t started his freshman year yet but it will remain the same.
And I’m sure it’s good for him, too!
Research Assistant looks better than Bagger anyway.
“Focusing on these accredited schools, the ranking was compiled considering which offered the highest degree of personal attention (student-to-faculty ratio), selectivity (acceptance rate), financial assistance (% receiving financial aid), and student satisfaction (retention and graduation rates). These factors were all given equal weight.
Apparently "teaches conservative Christian faith and values" wasn't on the list of factors being given equal weight.
Sure, that’s better for him still, but even a kid who’s only a bagger gets rewards in work beyond the appearance on a resume.
I like Bob Jones University, Greenville SC.
True but college kids don’t realize that their job at school has meaning. No matter your major, getting paid to do turf grass research looks a heck of a lot better than pushing pizza at Sbarro. Research jobs are generally given to people with higher GPA’s.
There are lots of grant funded research jobs on campus AND students can get federal work study money so it is free to the university. My son can make ~$2500 for little cost to the school.
Yeah—we’re paying for it! ;-)
I’m not sure that I would call Baylor Univerity a Christian college anymore. It was once a strong Southern Baptist college but moved away from that several years ago wanting to be more accepted by secular academia. The same thing is happening to Grand Canyon College.
Yeah, I’m giving him the business for being on Welfare. Ironic considering he was a cashier at a grocery store since he was 15 and complained about SNAP customers all the time.
It isn't rocket science. Diversity of opinion is permitted at these obscure, regional schools. It isn't tolerated at the Ivies, with the isolated exception of a few departments, mainly business and the hard sciences.
And NOT ONE of the top 50 Christian colleges is Catholic? I call BS.
I have to go back years to the last college student I met working their way through.
Yea I went to Baylor. It’s divided at best.
My physics professor, Dr. Packard, was a devout Christian and creationist.
He had tenure so the leftists professors couldn’t do anything about it.
He was a brilliant man, and I loved watching him just destroy the theory of evolution.
But campus was pretty well divided between Christians and humanists.
A lot depends on how “Christian” is defined. Bible believing? Scripture alone? Or scripture plus whatever?
