[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think keeping it under 45,000 makes it much easier than keeping it under 40,000.  At least from what I have seen.  Jesuit and Catholic schools are great options.

And kids love Dayton.  [/quote]

The Jesuit schools are also great if you are not religious.  My kid attended one, and outside the 1 theology course they had to take, there were no "required religiousness".  My kid approached theology 101 as a "history course"

Jesuit schools typically really "care about their students" and have faculty and staff in place who care and truly want to help.  Smaller sizes means smaller classes and it's easier to get help (as it has to come from the kid---things are offered but your kid has to take advantage of it).

For example: my kid struggled freshman year in a premed major, ultimately switched to business.  But the "program manager" for the "premed program" was amazing.  She remembered my kid 3+ years later at graduation (kid switched in April of freshman year) and had genuine interest in how he was doing (she watched hims struggle freshman year and was proud of all he did to get help and find his path--she helped guide him as needed).  You don't get that most places.  [/quote]
