Proud dad this week.
Been there for my two. Even more proud when they finish.
It's almost like the day they were born pride.

I'm sure you're proud and I don't mean to be a Debbie-Downer, but don't you think this whole college thing is kind of a waste of time? She'll be pissing away four years of her life learning about dead Prussian philosophers when she could spend that time learning to weld or something useful.
Just my two cents.

Congrats. Sewanee grad here. It was the perfect fit for my 4 years
Don't listen to the ignorant comments about liberal arts degrees.
Friends of mine are: doctors, attorneys, financial analysts, bankers, consultants, data scientists, pharmacists, web designers, scientists, teachers of every discipline at every level, writers, real estate, and everything in between. They work for everything from huge companies to start ups to themselves.
Some do things related to their "useless" degrees (like myself), some go in a completely different direction. It's about the process there more than the result. Do the process well, everything will work out
Best of luck

I can't be the only one on here that doesn't know where Rhodes and Sewanee are. Pretty sure I never heard of either.
Sewanee was a founding member of the SEC.

Nope. I'd be shocked if there are more grads teaching than practicing law.
And the point was not every teacher is doing middle school English or history. There are plenty that do and there is nothing wrong with that, despite the collective wisdom of this board. I know people teaching various subjects at lower, middle, and high school. I also know grads teaching finance or computext science at major state universities after earning PhDs in their respective fields

Good for her! That place looks like Hogwarts.

Rhodes?
So she's going up East. Congrats.
I would like to have seen Rhode Island.

quote:The only thing is if she knows she wants to go to med school, why not go to a cheaper public school for undergrad and then go wherever for med school? Premed education is pretty generic at both public and private schools and there are plenty of research opportunities at a public school too.
She's majoring in biochemistry and plans to go to med school, might end up at LSU HSC when its all said and done. Plenty of people do the small college/big med or professional school thing.
You probably have taken this into account but just in case, some of the private school scholarships are very generous their first year but don't cover the same % the subsequent years.

You can do the same from LSU and it;s a lot cheaper. Lithette #2 is finishing her first semester at LSU NO Med School after graduating from LSU.
We did the private college thing with Lithette #1 with Trinity in San antonio and IMO was a waste of a lot of $$$$$$
But Congrats and good luck

I actually played baseball at Trinity as a freshman, but was jealous of all my friends getting to experience SEC-like Saturdays. Convinced my mom to allow me to transfer after a year.
But yea the biggest difference between Trinity engineering and LSU engineering is the post-undergrad preparation schemes. Here, I feel like they want me to get a good job and get out. At Trinity, they pushed for grad school from the get-go like crazy. I guess that's how it is for most liberal arts schools however.
