[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious what DJO offers that a closer school doesn’t. It’s a fine school, but doesn’t strike me as standing out so far above other choices to make such a miserable commute worthwhile. [/quote]

This. Why wouldn’t you look at good counsel? They are basically the same. [/quote]

DJO tuition is $10K per year lower than GC. Also, DJO is a diocesan school and under the direction of the Arlington Diocese while GC is a Xavarian school. That makes the mission of the schools a little different. [/quote]

Please explain the substantive differences.[/quote]

There’s a couple of key differences - the governance of the school and the educational philosophy. In a diocesan school, the diocese and ultimately the bishop, is in charge. In DJO’s case, it’s the Diocese of Arlington, which is one of the most conservative diocese in the nation. A school run by a religious order is governed by the order. The Xavarian Brothers focus on a philosophy based on their values of simplicity, humility, zeal, compassion and trust.

You likely won’t see a lot of major differences, but there will be subtle differences that matter to some people. [/quote]
