[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ABSOLUTELY none of your business. But sure insert your opinions. I’m sure that will do wonders for the family relationship. [b]Butt the F out.[/b] [/quote]
Let me add that your idea of "no-name" means nothing.  Perhaps you haven't heard of Colby?  Bates?  Swarthmore?  [/quote]

Those you rattled off are not no-name, obviously. I am referring to truly obscure regional liberal arts colleges. Colleges that may not exist in 10 years.[/quote]

Please name a few of the schools. Serious question as some no-name small schools are interesting & worthwhile for various reasons.[/quote]
Franklin, Wittenberg, Roon, Providence[/quote]

I know a nurse who went to Providence. 1. It's not a small LAC, it's a midsize college (over 4k students).
2. Health fields are a strength there and they have a BSN program. 
3. Their standard merit awards go up to $37k (about half the cost of attendance) and they also have a selective full ride scholarship for students aspiring to a medical field. NCES says average net price for a moderate income family is about $24k.
If she likes it, can play her sport, and comes out well prepared as a nurse and her family can manage the cost, it seems like a good option.

For the others ...Wittenberg is also a BSN, top standard award is $28k, about half the tuition cost. Net price for moderate income family <$20k

"Roon" - is that a typo? It's not listed in the NCES database.

Franklin - don't know what that is. "Franklin College" doesn't have nursing and "Franklin University" appears to be online only.

It just took me a few minutes of research to find this out. Maybe approach your family with curiosity rather than judgement.
