[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We toured and know people who attended.

-Beautiful campus, town & location--convenient to NYC and Boston
-Gives merit aid; whether that is significant enough is in the eye of the beholder. Don't expect the cost to be under about $36k/year
-Has a ''Country Club Republican'' vibe 
-Very wealthy student body
-Strong in ''practical'' fields like nursing, finance, and health sciences (I know someone who graduated last May and is finishing their first year of med school)
-Supposedly kids are kind, willing to try new things, and inclusive[/quote]

Agreed. This school is very popular with my Northeast, Catholic-ish circle. It has many good things going for it. [/quote]
I would say it attracts very similar student body to Boston College and Villanova (obviously less selective, but in personality/background...similar). Providence College is also an easy comparison. [/quote]

I went to BC and had never heard of it. Not sure why PP is getting hounded for being from CT and never having heard of it.

Plenty of no name schools out there willing to gaslight parents into paying their outlandish costs. No different than any “up and coming” neighborhood. The only people biting are the gullible or those with a vested interest. [/quote]

I guarantee you you are in the minority if you went to BC and never heard of Fairfield.   The schools have hundreds if not thousands of cross applicants.  Fairfield is a common backup for BC.

Again, saying you haven’t heard of a college doesn’t mean the college isn’t good.  It just means you’re uninformed yourself. [/quote]
