Did you ever restrict your teen from applying to certain colleges? Did you have rules or boundaries?

There are a LOT of small Christian colleges out there that definitely lean this way. Many of them are NCAA D2 or NAIA so they recruit student athletes who really want to continue their sport at in college but aren't at the D1 level or able to pay for selective D3 schools.

I don't see why anyone would prohibit Notre Dame but Ave Maria, where the tour guide bragged that JD Vance spoke at orientation, no way. [/quote]

Democrats know their views are stupid & fragile, so they can’t risk their kids hearing opposing views.

If they were confident of their views, they would welcome hearing the opposition because they would know the conservative views would be silly. [/quote]

Jesus would be a democrat, or he might’ve been a socialist.

Pope Leo is a democrat.

It’s actually really conservative Evangelical Christians that don’t like Catholics.

Did he consider himself the epitome of open mindedness?

You never wanna be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

Are you open to slavery?

No, not a fan of slavery. It was mostly Democrats who loved slavery enough to die for it.

Until Republicans realized it was a way to get votes and decided to be a pro confederacy, Jim Crow, and all that.

History gurl.

This makes sense if you’d be full pay—but if your child is eligible for FA, may be cheaper to attend a private that meets need.

Friend’s DC is paying $5k/year for a NESCAC. The state school they got into came out to $17k/yr.

Some people live in states where the cheapest public option costs $35k if you want to live on campus (NJ).

Clearly you were distracted by all this perceived wokism. CU Boulder (for example) has a “stolen land acknowledgement”; however, the majority of the student population is wealthy and white, and many are Republican like their insufferable wealthy, whites parents. You missed out!

Why do you object to the stolen land acknowledgement?

Are there just political trolls or bots on every single thread now? Because it sure does seem like it.

Dp. Maybe because it’s pointless virtue signaling?

Wait, that leaves out a lot of schools in the west coach and east coach. Even UChicago has easy access to Lake Michigan beach in downtown Chicago.

We had a budget. Whatever they chose had to fit in that budget.

Because sometimes the OOS cost is lower than the in-state cost for your state (or is pretty close) and the programs are better and/or the school is a better fit? In state tuition varies a lot, so don’t assume in-state is always cheaper.
