[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools on the list largely make sense. The southern schools have all seen massive tuition increases to fund their football-themed, resort level amenities. Touring Clemson and Auburn last year felt more like Disneyland than a serious university. I was surprised (and disappointed) to read about this practice at Jesuit institutions. Seems antithetical to Catholic social teaching.[/quote]

This was years ago, but I remember reading the Sunday NYT Style section, and the front article was about the crippling effects of student loan debt on graduates, and how some were postponing things like marriage and children because of it.  Then two pages later there was an article on the [b]new lazy river on the LSU campus[/b].  The juxtaposition was absurd. And telling. [/quote]

100%. We toured Mizzou last year they spent more time talking about the “grotto”, the Olympic sized pool and indoor/outdoor fitness rooms than academics. It was bizarre.
