I like the idea of studying classic Western thought, and I’ve heard wonderful things from people who have been to Aquinas to see the place, but...
What’s up with the dress code? Sounds overly picky and sexist to me.
If the women are supposed to wear skirts, are the men all wearing coat and tie?
Is there a code re: footwear too?
I know a guy who has been there a few times for weekend professional enrichment programs, and he never mentioned anything like this. His daughter considered attending there, and she never mentioned it either.
The dress code is intended to create a more formal atmosphere in the classroom. No wearing sweats or sneaking in in your pjs. Men don’t wear coats and ties, they are required to have collared shirts that are tucked in during class hours. The dresscode isn’t perfect, but I did appreciate the environment that it created.
I think your friend and his daughter are attending a different college. TAC doesn’t do weekend enrichment programs.
