Ah, I see that the Princeton Review article you linked has BYU as #3.
Grove City College bump!
Yep! And then you could afford to visit them more often. I could be completely wrong about that, so check it out. (But that is what I recall from my sister’s recent college experiences.) I still have a year or so before we start worrying about colleges.
After graduating from BYU, I went on to UC Berkeley for graduate school. Talk about culture shock!
I have about 10 to go.
By then I’m sure I’ll be waving good-bye!
Sounds like a list of the top 10 schools where “you ain’t gettin’ none.”
However, because they do not take federal money (and unless an exemption was added to the code) "529" College Savings Plan Money cannot to my knowledge be used.
Most people are unaware of this conundrum
Please inform me if things have changed....
I will have to check on that tail........that is interesting....I would not think 529money should be exempt, but with our gov’t, who knows?
My sister in-law attended Creighton and wound up secretly marrying a Muslim from Lebanon who was attending Creighton as well. They let him go to school there even though he had entered the U.S. on a visitor visa, not to attend school. It was nearly 7 years before any of her family found out she was married to this guy who keeps a book on nuclear physics on his book shelf next to a copy of the Quran.
And Creighton let him attend school ??
Hmmmmm
From the website:
John Paul the Great Catholic University is a visionary teaching institution focused on and dedicated to molding students into future innovators and creators, leaders and entrepreneurs. Students have the opportunity to acquire a deep and personal knowledge of Jesus Christ. Catholic ethical, moral, and social values provide a guiding compass for everything we do. The Senior Business Plan provides a framework for student teams, with diverse skill sets, to spark new ideas, to unleash talent, and to create opportunities by building new entrepreneurial ventures. Experienced faculty guide the incubation and launch of the student businesses into the marketplace.
The Founders are driven by the vision of creating a world-class university for students seeking degree programs in communications media, technology, and business. The curriculum will rigorously prepare students to challenge a world in which there is an explosion of knowledge but not of understanding, a lack of trust and ethics in leadership and the media, a need for new enterprises that demonstrate a moral and ethical purpose, and an obligation to recognize the intrinsic human value of its workers.
Thomas himself would have spent some serious time on the street finding out what the world is about before inhaling the 'great books'. Save TAC for your retirement years.
I would have liked to have seen my alma mater, Washington & Lee University, to have made the list.
It’s not a Christian school, though, so I suppose that all but rules it out on this list.
LOL! You’re thinking about college and your eldest is 8 or so? Boy, you do think ahead!
I thought I heard he was valedictorian, which is positively amazing when you think about it.
