[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]first two are up and coming hidden gems in Ct, while nova seems to have an established reputation driven from basketball fame.

Feel Fairfield will open the most doors in NYC finance as the alumni network seems extremely strong, but i expect nova to be good there also.  And kiddo thought Sacred Heart kids seemed most fun loving and happy, although Fairfield kids apparently live on the beach after frosh year! haha I guess they take off season vacation homes on the LI sound.

help! need pros and cons and to know what my kiddo needs to take into account, good and bad[/quote]

Are they admitted and choosing for this year? Or thinking about where to apply in the fall?

IMO, Villanova has had its rise. There was a thread on it a few days ago ... DCUM does not love. It's a wonderful school. The couple of years after they won the national basketball championship, it became much more selective. That tapered off and I've heard the acceptance rate is a little over 30% now. They have a nice balance of Greek life and other social life. Lots of school spirit. Religion if you want it. A recent sex abuse coverup just came to light, though ... will probably ding the reputation a bit.

Fairfield, you are correct, it's DEFINITELY on the rise. I heard 25% acceptance this year! I have had many family members attend, all LOVED IT. No dings.

Sacred Heart, I am not familiar with, but it truly does not have the name recognition of the other two. If your kid got accepted to all three, I'd recommend one of the more selective ones. [/quote]
