Basically from here north. Maybe Ohio are or around there. We will look at Xavier. Have already seen Loyola Chicago and Holy Cross (didn't like so much) and Providence (liked). Anyone with info on Fairfield? Fordham? Sacred Heart? Seton Hall?

Jesuit schools are Catholic in name only

That's a bunch of BS. I've been very impressed with what I've seen of people who come from Jesuit schools.

That doesn't make the schools Catholic. They don't follow the Magisterium and the teachings of the Church. Jesuit colleges have been taken over by the Leftist/LGBT lobby. Here's a list of some authentic Catholic colleges.

Gonzaga out west. Also, Loyola Chicago.

Oh, I forgot Creighton. Another poster referenced it as well. It is a fabulous school and they are having an awesome basketball season this year!

I went to grad school with someone who had done her BA (in Classics, concentration Latin) at John Carroll in Cleveland. She was impressively intelligent and well articulate, so a good advertisement for that school to me (and she's the only one I've ever met who went there). She loved it and always spoke so highly of the place. Her stories of her college days always reminded me of Donna Tartt's The Secret History.

If you are willing to look west, Santa Clara in California. They have a great business and engineering school. Their graduates go on to work in Silicon Valley. Payscale.com rates them very high for return on investment. They also have a beautiful campus. Marquette (WI) is also a good school but the campus cannot compare. Also in California- not as competitive but still good schools are LMU and University of San Diego.

Christendom College and Thomas Aquinas College are the two best authentic Catholic colleges in America.

There are lots of great Catholic schools. Which ones were you interested in? A city? Region? Size?

Marquette Univ in Milwaukee may be worth a look.

Holy Cross.
