[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marquette University in Wisconsin...judge away, DCUM.[/quote]

I am from the Chicago area and had a lot of friends go to Marquette - they all loved it!

I agree it is a great choice for a DC area kid.  [/quote]

Ha  :D thanks for the reassurance.  I just thought it was funny how it combined some of the things often looked down on on this site - Catholic, not Ivy or anywhere near equivalent, and in the dreaded flyover part of the country.  All kidding aside, he loved the campus, loves the idea of going somewhere a little different for college, and they had the direct admit physical therapy program he wanted.  So yup, I agree it's a good choice for him! [/quote]

There are some ridiculous posters on DCUM who look down on anything that's not HPY, Stanford or MIT (Columbia & Brown [b]might[/b] be acceptable to them, too  :lol: ). Don't mind them -- Marquette is a very good school that the majority of students could only dream of being admitted to & it sounds like it's the perfect fit for him! Congratulations to your son!

I'll post where my kids are.   One at University of North Florida.  One at Ole Miss.  One at University of Florida.  Very proud of all of them.

My student at University of North Florida is on a full academic scholarship.  Everything is covered - tuition, fees, dorms, books....  She just got accepted to a really neat Masters Program.  She'll be teaching English in China for two years.  They are paying for her Masters Degree, paying her a salary, and paying all of her living expenses.  She's a special ed major who wants to get her masters in speech path.

My kid at Ole Miss is a political science major.  He's on an ROTC Scholarship.

My University of Florida student is pre-med.  He has a partial academic scholarship.  The rest is covered by Bright Futures.

Super proud of all three of them!  It's costing us almost nothing.  They'll graduate with no student loan debt.  I'm just hoping the other two can follow that example.  Not every kids cares about going to prestigious schools.  For what it's worth, my daughter is a national merit scholar.  She turned down Yale.[/quote]
