Loyola in Baltimore.

St. Joseph's in Philadelphia.

Decent middling Catholic colleges.

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.

Jesuits are Catholics. The Pope is Jesuit.

You don't have any authority to dictate what is "authentic" vis-a-vis Catholic colleges.

I don't, but the Magisterium does. Not everyone who claims to be Catholic is Catholic. I'm sure you're one of those who thinks the Kennedys are Catholic.

I don't think you'd consider Christ himself to be Catholic.

Apparently PP doesn't think Pope Francis is Catholic, either.

I don't think she does, actually. Pretty sure she's the poster who slams "social justice" Catholics on a regular basis and thinks Pope Francis is part of some doomsday scenario.

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.

I have met several John Carroll grads and all of them have impressed me.

I would definitely look there.

Consider Duquesne in Pittsburgh as well - I know someone who loves it there.

If you are worried about going out west both Santa Clara and LMU are easy to get to by plane. Santa Clara is very close to San Jose airport and LMU is next to LAX. Both very convenient for travelers.

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.

Not the OP, but this is very helpful, thanks -- DS thinking of attending but we have not been able to visit.

A friend's dd goes to Santa Clara. A very smart girl double majoring in computer science and philosophy. Excited about the opportunities in the Bay Area. Santa Clara is a gem. The UC schools have been the first choice of students in California because they are good schools and the cost is lower. (not a good deal for OOS anymore) But as the UC's become overcrowded, many impacted majors, and underfunded students look elsewhere. Stanford is great but impossible to get into. The Claremont Colleges and USC have risen in popularity. Santa Clara is also becoming a stronger school every year. I think all three schools- Santa Clara, LMU, and University of San Diego will continue to become stronger schools. They are all in great locations with access to good internships and jobs. (SF/San Jose area, LA, San Diego).

St. Thomas in Minneapolis.

I am a Marquette alum. Fantastic experience - Milwaukee is actually a really cool city, and the university is very close knit (both physically and closeness among students). What is your DS thinking of studying? I was a biology major and went on to physician's assistant school - felt very well-prepared. My husband studied electrical engineering there, worked for a few years and now works as a patent lawyer. Also very pleased with his education. Another thing is that there are tons of alum in Chicago, so that's a good option for fields like business/advertising/etc. where internships are key.

I attended 1996-2000 and am happy to answer any questions.

My sister is a St. Louis University grad (physical therapy), and my brother a Creighton grad (psychology, now works in market research) and both of them had excellent experiences and good careers.

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?

A friend's DC went to Sacred Heart and liked it. Has a good internship now and also had a good study abroad experience.
