Brown is ultra liberal - my son was getting recruited there for lacrosse and it just didn't seem like a good fit.

Same here, except it was for football. We felt that Brown would be almost a hostile environment fro anyone that disagreed with Liberal orthodoxy even a little bit.

But to the Ivy-obsessed on here this is an unbelievable concept.

And we were turned off by the recruiting activities of a local Brown alumnus in the real estate business who was sending us messages through acquaintances and inviting us to events. If this wasn't a violation of NCAA rules, it should have been.

OK, as you say.

The NESCAC schools are dominated by the WASPs and Jews.

No wonder kids from Catholic schools decide that these aren't places they feel comfortable spending four years. That is, if they are even aware of them as alternatives. Rarely are these schools even on the radar.

There's plenty of diversity in American life. No need to pursue it. and no reason for a Catholic family to send a kid to a place where their relatively conservative values are under assault and ridiculed.

Graduates of Jesuit high schools and other Catholic high schools enjoy an advantage when they apply to Jesuit colleges and universities. That's why so many of them end up at Georgetown, BC, Holy Cross, St. Joe's etc, and Notre Dame and Villanova.

Why does this preference for Catholic high schools and Catholic colleges and universities bother non-Catholics at all? It's not as if the NESCAC schools arfe underenrolled. Or is a "Diversity" thing?

Perhaps you don't recognize it but my goodness you certainly come off as bigoted.

Your comment translated - "I don't agree with what you say so I am going to call you a bigot.


Catholics choosing Catholic schools aren't any different from AA's choosing HBC's. Are these AA's that go to Morehouse or Howard "bigoted" too?
