Fantastic college! They are a model for what every college should be.
This is what a real education looks like.
It’s not job training, its an education. There are a few other colleges with similar approaches, but sadly, precious few, you can count them on one hand.
I’ve said many times, the best education in the world is four years in the Navy and a set of Harvard Classics ($250 at eBay...)
But better yet would be four years here, followed by four years in the Navy. :)
No Federal Aid will save them some day.
We are experiencing a massive “Education Industrial Complex” bubble, fed by massive spending, and massive debt.
My oldest son has been in contact with Hard Work U in Missouri (College of the Ozarks). His oldest sister got of college debt free and is basically no ones prisoner in her future decisions.
He is trending the same way in his thoughts.
I will not argue and will pay the airfare to get him there.
My daughter graduated from Thomas More in Nashua back in 91 before it began to accept GI Bill. MIL was skeptical becausy “no one ever heard of that place” and doubted she could get into grad school from there. Daughter went down to LSU and, indeed, LSU never heard of Thomas More. She was one of about a dozen grads. She gave them some phone numbers and they made some calls. They then asked her where she wanted her reserved parking space. For real.
I have nothing against this college - and knew of it before it even opened. I know a few graduates. The one problem I have with the school, however, is that, academically, it is merely a prep school for graduate school. The degree in no way helps you in terms of getting a job. I wish they would institute a system of double degrees so their graduates could get jobs right out of school. The problem there is that their original purpose will be lost.
