I will lose all my credits and spend another 4 years in college but the length is outweighed by the academics and atmosphere. I might just apply and make my decision whether I'll stay at my current school (which is an all-girls Catholic college) or opt to start over at TAC if I get accepted.<BR/><BR/>Catherine Lucia - Oh, I anticipate the tears. I kind of cheated and saw the end of the book, "My Brother Pier Giorgio, His Last Days" and I shed a few tears then. And I am glad you've gotten some advice.

It is an excellent school. My brother is a senior there, so I've had many, many opportunities to visit and get familiar with the students and atmosphere.<BR/><BR/>The atmosphere is astoundingly Catholic. It is the dominant feature at the college. The Legion of Mary is quite active there (my brother is an active member, and for the time being I'm an auxiliary member). Daily masses, daily rosaries, daily confession... the sacraments are always available. The Faith is the defining thing for the college, and their whole academic program is founded on it.<BR/><BR/>The academics are superb. The Great Books, and whatnot... and the Socratic classroom method is fascinating. I've sat in on several classes, and I can't wait until I'm a freshman and can participate.<BR/><BR/>The students are some of the godliest young people I have met. Their faith, their humour, their kindness, and their eagerness to find the truth are all so inspiring.<BR/><BR/>All-in-all, a wonderful place. If you have any particular questions, please feel free to email me (mamselleduroc(at)gmail(dot)com)!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297167286490109077noreply@blogger.com
