[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 508413"] Thanks guys - all four of us are going. Figure it's a good motivator for PC14 to realize that his freshman and sophomore year grades really will count. I checked out the "paying for college" section on their website and the calculator made it seem likely that he would be offered a decent chunk of "gift aid" aka scholarship money. Which makes it nearly on par with a state school. So I am hoping I like it, he likes it and it is a good fit all around! Based on my experience with difficult child's school - I find the state university system leaves much to be desired. I threw myself at their mercy to step in with difficult child before the semester began and let them know he was abusing substances and instead they helped him get a credit card to pay his way himself. And he failed out and now is in worse shape. I don't know that a private school would be any better in that respect but the faith based aspect gives me hope. We sent our kids to parochial school thru grade 8 and I myself went to a Catholic college -- and I think this could be a better fit for our family and for him as a Lib Arts major. I am probably over thinking it and it is his choice - I am just hoping that this school will be HIS choice LOL [/QUOTE]
