Hillsdale College is also a great place for young people who want an actual education as opposed to a leftist indoctrination.
My son is seriously thinking of going to the College of the Ozarks, or Hard Work U as it is lovingly called. He is looking at the engineering degree.
Same idea, that the student is not ruined by enormous debt after getting a degree.
Interesting concept. Turning the bloated, insanely expensive, 4-year degree on its head and teaching classics plus actual practical experience in doing things; farming, building, etc.
Online education and degrees will be the wave of the future.
Then the professoriat will have to seek honest labor.
I give money to Hillsdale and sent a copy of the cancelled check to my alma mater, Dartmouth College ('72).
“We are neither accredited nor currently seeking accreditation. The primary and ultimate role of accreditation today is to certify that a school is eligible to receive federal funding for tuition.”
THAT, may be a setback. No accreditation, no entry into the “big game”!

My wife and I visited the College of the Ozarks recently and were thoroughly impressed by the campus and the students. I’d hire one of those grads way way before hiring some of the jokesters out there with paper mill “degrees” from universities that actually think that they are still academic institutions. And Ivy League, we’re talkin’ about you.
Most employers are only looking for a piece of paper and don't care what's typed on it.
They’re embracing the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and traditional American values of capitalism, self-reliance, and limited government.
That sounds good but can see it going all fruity.
My sister went to School of the Ozarks back in the 70’s. It was a no nonsense collage.

Mmmmm, not Hillsdale. Have you met the students?
Daughter graduated last year from College of the ozarks.
Branson is a great Place to visit, but was a horrible place to live.
Been thinking bout this for years..
At that price point the school.will grow and get more programs...the idea of building and maintaining school should make sure its all up to code...i.would include small scale agriculture...car mechanics...survival skills...consumer skills..computer skills...off grid work...home food production and food preservation skills and cardiovascular and weight management skills
