Don’t we just wish ALL collages were set up like this one....we have been down there often in times past....love their restaurant, and the food is delicious, and served by student staff.

Its a great model, but not the only one.

Let's face it: every college can't be located in the center of a sparsely populated major year-round tourist destination where work for tuition would be a viable economic model.

Hillsdale College (Michigan) has rolled out a successful model of kicking out government loans for tuition in total so Fedzilla can have zero say in how the College is run. They've done this by lining up their own pool of lenders who understand that Hillsdale graduates actually learn something useful, are highly employable and have an excellent record of paying back their loans.

Their model has worked so well that I'm aware of at least three other conservative campuses adopting at least part of the same model-- Grove City (here in Pennsylvania), Liberty University (Virginia) and Brigham Young (campuses in Utah and Idaho). I don't think they are the only ones, just the only ones of which I am aware.

This trend is only going to grow as more and more businesses figure out that kids who had the initiative to find colleges which didn't crush them with unsustainable debt loads also have the common sense to make great new hires.
