[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back again. To clarify, my son goes to a Catholic HS so Catholic colleges are definitely a consideration. The cost of them are the only thing that gives me pause. I transferred to a Catholic college my sophomore year and if I didn’t go to summer school to catch up on credits, it would’ve taken me more than 4 years to graduate. Life happens sometimes so the best laid plans of mice and men...[/quote]

OP, I'm the PP whose DD is having a fantastic experience at Denison.

Leaving aside the above Catholic v. CTCL exchanges, I encourage you to consider schools for the right &quot;fit,&quot; and fwiw, when we were looking at colleges, I set parameters that included:  (1) geography (we wanted her to be within driving distance), (2) four-year graduation rate &gt;75%, (3) per-student endowment (a big endowment enables lots of valuable extras for students including e.g. paid research), (4) strong department in the relevant major(s), and (5) &quot;fit&quot;/feel.
