Why would any serious Christian want to pay big bucks to attend this hellhole?

The American Jesuit universities ceased to be Catholic about 20 years ago. I am an alum of one (Seattle University), and it is not the same place that I once knew. A higher percentage of Seattle U profs voted for Obama than did the profs at the University of Washington.

I don't know exactly how that happened, but economics might have been part of it. They were struggling financially in the early 70s, and when they became publicly liberal, the money started flowing in. But I'm sure that the leftward turn was not just for financial gain, because they really had gone far left.

At this point in time, the ONLY reasons are that you don't have the GPA or the connections or the athletic prowess to make it into a public university.
