Do you have a Catholic School Ping List?
Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Catholic Discussion Ping List.
The University of Dallas was developing into a good choice for faithful, traditional Catholics ten years ago, but a liberal leadership coup ran off many of the best teachers and turned the school hard left. I pray the Holy Spirit will lead the school back onto the right track but I would not send my kids there today.
Hey! Where's Boston College?!
(sigh)
(it's too expensive anyways...why spend 42k a year so your child can lose their religion)
Thanks! I knew you had a ping list!
Has anyone sent there own children to any of these schools? My pastor has recommended Christendom for my oldest son.
My son, who is a high school junior, says he has only two requirements from a college. It must be Catholic and the climate has to be a lot warmer than Vermont.
You can add Quincy University to that list. The new president is making changes. All theology faculty MUST be Catholic to teach there, preferably with a mandatum.
My son has just begun his freshman year at Christendom. He loves it! He could have gone anywhere(graduated top 8% of his class at a Catholic high school with a straight A average, scored a 32 on the ACT) but he chose Christendom after attending their summer program for high school students last year.
He says his entire day is spent with Christ at the center of his life. We've had the opportunity to meet some of the faculty and its hard to imagine a better group of scholars dedicated to the Church's teaching assembled in one place.
The social life at the college is also a blast. Barn dances, hayrides, a texas-hold 'em club, a fall Medival festival, musicals, the list of activities just goes on and on.
Frankly, I couldn't recommend a better college for your son.
great!
I wish her all the best.
We dropped off our oldest a couple of weeks ago to start his freshman year at Thomas Aquinas College. Still getting used to him not being around the house. It is a beautiful campus with a great program. The college is in California a little north of the Reagan Presidential Library.
I'm always asking my friends up here in MA just that question!
Our daughter is really interested in Ave Maria University. We plan to go down there for their Open House the first weekend in November.
Tell your son to check out Ave Maria in Naples FL. Our daughter was concerned about the summer heat in FL, then I reminded her that she'd be spending her summers here in MA. That satisfied her. ;o)
This is a program for students between their junior and senior years?
If you are still "listening" to this conversation, please explain your comments about the Univ. of Dallas, thank you,
