Two of my kids graduated from Grove City College (one this past weekend). I have one more there. It is an excellent school that gives an incredible bang for the buck. It holds to a very steady Christian doctrine. More FREEPers need to know about this school.
Here’s what many people do not know -— Grove City College’s academics are EXCELLENT, comparing favorably to the Ivy League Schools.
Their jobs support program are second to none. During the peak of the great recession, over 96% of their graduates found jobs or went to graduate studies related to their field within 3 months of graduation.
And here’s the other thing -— Their tuition fees are REASONABLE, comparing favorably to state tuition fees.
My oldest daughter graduated from Thomas More College in Nashua NH. She got an old time classical Liberal Arts education that included philosophy, theology (it is a Catholic school), Greek and Latin, Western literature, History, etc. My MiL was upset because it was not a Name university and MiL was sure Beverly could never get into a good grad school from there. At LSU they, indeed, had never heard o Thomas Moore. The lady in the office made some phone calls to Nashua and did a bit of research and offered Beverly a scholarship to cover half her tuition. Beverly had already saved her first year’s tuition and expenses by taking off a year after TM to work in a Credit Union. LSU hired her on at the campus CU and gave her a reserved parking space. She ended her three years at LSU (MBA) with a solid bank account.
My daughter and, now, son-in-law went to Grove City College. Pence spoke at their commencement in 2017. There were some grumblings, because even kids from “good Christians universities” are exposed to liberal messaging, but they were in the minority and the administrators and faculty had no intention of capitulating. Pence was warmly received, and afterward many of the doubtful students admitted they were impressed with his speech and felt honored to shake the VP’s hand.
That’s how a university is supposed to work. For those who do not know, Grove City College takes no federal funds so that they can teach without governmental influence.
I always wished I had a child who was Grove City material.
Always have admired them.
Grove is one of the very few I would consider. I would prefer Hillsdale to most “Christian” schools.
The Frankfurt School has infected and perverted most “Christian” seminaries, colleges, and universities.
