Saw you were in Kansas City. Do you know anything about Benedictine College? We're looking for small, orthodox, but not TOO rad-trad, Catholic colleges for our daughter that have majors in Digital Media Arts, or similar programs. I've printed out some info about the school for her to see, but wanted to know more about it before we went through the expense of a visit to the school.

The first thing to know is that it is a split campus. The South campus with the convent is where the majority of dorms are. The North campus is on the other side of Atchison on the bluffs overlooking the river where the abbey is.
A bus runs back and forth. The town is small and not much goes on. Kids used to go to St. Joseph or down to Kansas City for anything. As for the school. I ran out of money when I went there and had to switch to KU. WHATEVER you do keep her away from large state schools.
If this is any comfort, when I went there as a hormone charged 18 year old many girls would spend the weekend doing retreats with the nuns or other stuff that kept them pure and me frustrated. When my little girl is old enough I am going to look for just such a place.
I can't tell you about the digital media arts part. I was a physics major.
