[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is the bullies have lots of money and the Jesuits like money. A lot.[/quote]

This isn't fair to the Jesuits. They've all taken a vow of poverty, you know. If they care about raising money, it's so they can provide what they provide to others. The problem is really with the spoiled bullies among the students. I don't hear so many complaints about Gonzaga, which is also run by Jesuits, but it's in a lower-rent district and I think the families there are more appreciative.

The jesuits like money because it also improves the quality of their life.  They drink top of the line booze and vacation at their rich kids vacation homes and are simply not good at putting a lid on the bitchiness at prep.  I DO think the culture in a jesuit school is one of entitlement and lacking humble values.  The vow of poverty is a huge joke. Have you seen how these guys live?  Go over to GU and write back to us about how much poverty you see those jesuits experiencing.  Sometimes I wish I could think as innocently as the PP.  I am being serious when I say, it much be nice to be so blind the all the ugliness and see the world through rose colored glasses. I'll have what you're having.

If you want a well rounded, down to earth, men for improving the world, humble values, put your kid in a christian brothers school.  They have truly dedicated their lives to teaching and charity work (and you never hear about it because they ARE humble).[/quote]

Gonzaga is about half the cost of Prep.   Prep 's main feeder is Mater Dei which redshirts for potential prep students.   The age distribution at prep might vary significantly from Gonzaga, STA, etc.[/quote]
