These are good additions, and I like Villanova for your kid. [/quote]

Villanova SOB is tough admit, and even harder to transfer when there. Big yawn on this school. Take themselves way too seriously. DS got the vibe that this is the actual school where fun goes to die. The new upperclass dorm is gorgeous. DS took it off his list.

Providence is a big nooooooo. Immediate surrounding area is a dump. Providence is a cool little city though. Read Reddit Providence College for real reviews, then hop over to Niche. Like BC, business school is heavy white finance bros. Not a diverse school. There's always a twinge of New England arrogance. Lehigh same with big fat Greek life. Just being honest on our end.

I would visit Providence College. I am from New England and I always thought of it as a working class version of BC or Holy Cross. No New England snobbery there. [/quote]
Uh, what?! If you'd have said "a less selective version of BC or Holy Cross" I'd be with you, but as someone who went there I would say it's [b]every bit the preppy, rich, Catholic vibe of BC or Holy Cross. Not working class in vibe at all[/b]. [/quote]

BC School of Management undergrad alum here to weigh in (with PC friends). Totally agree with the PC grad - I would never describe PC as the working class at all.  The city of Providence is quite different than Chestnut Hill/Brookline (and perhaps that's where you get a more blue collar idea?), and BC may be more competitive, but these schools have generally similar populations.  I'd agree these are not diverse schools, but they are not snobby at all.  And at BC, the Jesuit tradition is strong in creating a very warm, accepting, and cohesive community and actually provide a moral compass for undergrads that I did not find in the highly competitive school I attended for grad school. The description of BC management students couldn't be more off.  [/quote]
