Forever Harvard lovers just don't want to admit it.

It makes perfect sense that people at Harvard would all get good grades. Are you one of these people who think grading should resemble a bell curve? That sort of weird, regressive thinking seems like it would belong at Hillsdale.

85% of Hillsdale students graduate in 6 years. It has a dropout rate of 10% BTW and a transfer rate of 5%. So basically, 15% of students who matriculate bail. That's a lot of disillusionment.

Harvard's transfer rate is under 1%. It has a graduation rate of 98%.

Actually, google is the friend of the person who makes the claim. Only idiots throw out numbers without citations to back them up. Do better next time.

Not sure why you're using two different sources to compare these two schools. On college factual, you can see both Hillsdale and Harvard retention rates. Harvard's is 76%. Hillsdale is 97%. Maybe that's why you chose a different source for Harvard?

I'm a huge Hillsdale fan and believe that the woke losers who try trash it do so because they know it's a great school and hate the fact that the woke left no longer has a total monopoly on elite higher education.

But that statistic is dead wrong, and the source you cited is trash.

Do they have a serial plagiarist as president also?

Did Hillsdale teach you to think this way and the manners you display?

Are the numbers wrong? No? Take a seat.

Oh look. If you graduate from Hillsdale, half your job opportunities are in right-wing or Republican politics:

Or you could go to the Police Academy.

Hillsdale is nothing like liberty

DP only responding because you bumped this back up. Again. You really seem like a paid political poster. You probably started this absurd thread, and every time it starts to fade, you revive it -- curses!

And, FWIW, they (Hillsdale and Liberty) are not far off one another. I know students at both.

It does look like employment outcomes are marginally better at Hillsdale compared to Liberty, and I do believe Hillsdale probably has more academic rigor, even if what it has students study is de facto indoctrination into right wing ideology. But even then, a disproportionate number of employers touted by Hillsdale are right-wing or libertarian bubble entities like American Enterprise Institute, Federalist Society, Intercollegiate Studies Institute, Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Republican governors association. Nothing wrong with that if you want to work on the ideological fringes your entire career — plenty of people grift this way. But there’s a lot of them on the list and they have one ideology in common.

No.

The marketing-to-the-grandparents thing really kills teen interest for the ones who don’t have helicopter gps.

That and Hillsdale doesn’t offer many programs of study.

Last Year, I was a Bryn Mawr Girl. Now I'm at Hillsdale:

But I guess nobody is leaving the elite East Coast schools for Hillsdale.

You clearly do not know the meaning of this word.

I should feel pity but I hate to admit that I’m enjoying the Hillsdale nutters embarrassing themselves. So insecure and pathetic.

Bryn Mawr is ranked 30, fwiw. Hillsdale 39, so I'm not sure how much difference there is in academic quality between them (in 2023).

From the article: "Socially, it wasn’t entirely what I expected. The people at Bryn Mawr were the wealthiest and most liberal I had ever encountered. During my first week on campus, a girl I met suggested over dinner that 9/11 was justified because the United States had meddled in Middle East politics. She went on to say that the 9/11 memorial should be changed so as to show more respect to Muslims." Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Sounds like some who misinterprets what other people are saying. Yes, that does sound very familiar.
