This brings up an interesting topic.

Yearly tuition costs at Southwestern Christian? $13,275.

If she had gone to University of Texas? They charge by the field of study. So, if you were going for a communications degree....the full-year of tuition would be $4,832. For business? $5,369. For nursing, $5,181.

So she was spending roughly 2.5 times her cash for a degree, that she could have gotten for less cost. Who paid the $13,275 a year for her? I’m guessing her parents covered most of this. Why attend a private-christian university? I’m not sure there’s any educational benefit to the setting....other than less alcohol consumption (one would assume).

As for transferring credit? There’s one interesting aspect. If she was three years into the program, there might be some limits. Most major universities will require that you take a minimum of one full-year of classes and all related within your field of study. I’m guessing in this case....she might have a minimum of five classes that she’ll have to re-take in some fashion, and it’ll add at least one year....maybe even eighteen months....onto her schedule.

As for stupidity in assuming that the university wouldn’t ever hear about her marriage? The minute you do something in life like marriage and you try to hide it for some reason....you are dealing with disaster and chaos. I can’t imagine someone being that stupid. Any bets that she’s simply studying for a liberal arts degree?

Typically, the benefit of a religious school is that it's possible to study, without blasting music and drugged-out kids staggering around till 4 a.m. And if you're a girl, you don't have to walk down the hall to the bathroom dressed in armor, since every conceivable public and private space is co-ed.

In a word, religious schools—where people actually practice a religion—are where you have to go if you want a normal life. They are the way the rest of the country used to be. What that girl was doing there was enjoying the benefits of civilization while waging her special war against them.

Probably more educating and less leftist propaganda going on there
