Holy Cross is a great fit for kids that want a strong academic and social vibe. Very few LACs offer Division1 sports they had close to 16,000 for the Homecoming Game against Harvard (Crimson won easily). Only model to compare it to is smaller version of ND but with better location near Boston. HC also meets 100% of demonstrated need.

At one of my wife’s former company a few women attended that program part time and graduated with normal BC degrees. Very admirable and saved big bucks. But schools in the top 25 don’t offer part time degree granting night programs.

Yes they do.

In other words, not now.

You don't get it. It's about the journey, not the destination.

I’d rather spend 400k on a multi year cruise around the world

Would you pay that for HC? I am confused about what you are doing here if you don't value education.

Yes. BC is very crass. Lots of sex and drug talk. Curse like sailors at sporting events. Really a blight on chestnut hill

Holy Cross is a very good school. For kids that can’t get into Williams or Amherst, it is a solid choice and the proximity to Boston a big plus.

Very different. No one at extension puts AB Harvard College on their resume without committing fraud. Some clown from BC night school gets an undifferentiated bachelors degree. They didn’t even need to pay 400k for it either!!!
