Yup. ‘mudge. Yuu know yer institushenz of higher lernin’</p>
<p>“But many of the ones I mentioned above are under 1000 (smaller than the size almost every student I have worked with is willing to do) and many of those were religiously affiliated ones (again, most of my students do NOT want that)”</p>
<p>The fact that Hillsdale is so different makes it even more important that you know of it.</p>
<p>Soozie, Wesleyan Ga. , as well as some of the others , are not “religious” schools other than a loose and sometimes mostly historical affiliation. Much like many other more well-known schools. It is a really interesting school. [url=<a href=“http://www.wesleyancollege.edu/]Home[/url”>http://www.wesleyancollege.edu/]Home[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Of all full-time students, 39% are minority races and another 22% are international students.</p>
<p>Students from 21 U.S. states and 20 other countries</p>
<p>curm, a long time ago, I actually taught some courses at Champlain College. But I doubt students in your area (Texas) know about it. It is not a religiously affiliated school. </p>
<p>Take Doane…it is in rural Nebraska, has 894 students, and is affiliated the Church of Christ. Only 20% are from out of state. It is not far fetched that I would not know of this school and that I would have no clients interested in it as I have never worked with a student from Nebraska, none of my students want a religious school, and none want under 1000 students. Given where I live, it is not odd that I would not have heard of this particular school. </p>
<p>Take Convenant College in Georgia. It has 1000 students. It is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of America. “The motto of Covenant College is “In all things Christ preeminent”. Acknowledging Christ as the creator of all things, as the redeemer of people fallen into sin, and as the sovereign ruler over all of life, the college strives to discern and to unfold the implications of His pre-eminence in all things. We seek to appropriate the mind of Christ as the biblical perspective from which we characterize and respond to reality.” I have yet to have a student who wanted a college of this nature. If I did, I would be researching this school a lot more. </p>
<p>Wesleyan College in Macon, GA is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and is all women and has 629 undergrads. 90% are from Georgia. I have yet to have a girl from Georgia who wanted to stay in Georgia and go to a women’s college, a small college, or a religious affiliated one. Thus, this school would not be on my radar, and given where I live, I would not know it much by happenstance either.</p>
<p>Where do you get this stat?
I got mine from their website showing 22% international. .</p>
<p>curm, cross posted with you. I’m sure Wesleyan in Georgia is a cool school. I just have not had clients wanting all women’s colleges or ones that small and have had very few students from Georgia (where this school draws from). </p>
<p>I also work a great deal with students seeking audition based theater and musical theater programs (not all my students, but many) and so none of these schools offer these BFA degree programs.</p>
<p>I cross posted again with you, curm. </p>
<p>On my premium edition to USNews (where I took a quick look and admittedly have yet to visit Wesleyan’s own site), it says only 10% of students are from out of state. So, if that doesn’t match what is on the college’s own site, sorry! :)</p>
<p>I just looked up international students for Wesleyan (in GA) on USNews and it says percent of international students is “14.18%” and that 9 of the first year students are international. </p>
<p>Now, the math doesn’t add up if only 10% are from out of state, unless they are referring to 10% of those from the USA are from outside of Georgia. That would then make sense.</p>
<p>Maybe they are identifying more of the undocumented students and reclassifying them from in-state to internationals 
<a href=“http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/report-472report-472-undocumented-students-589725.html[/url]”>http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/report-472report-472-undocumented-students-589725.html</a> (article from todays paper, showing the # of undocumented students in the state’s public schools. Wesleyan isn’t a public school)</p>
<p>lol, jym. Dere stealing er jerbs!!! and now our seats at unknown all-womens colleges. How sneaky of them illegals. Sounds just like’em . Don’t it?</p>
<p>Also, it seems that many of the international students at Wesleyan in GA are not first year students. It says that 79 are undergraduate international students but only 9 of them are in the first year class. So, maybe many internationals transfer into this school?</p>
<p>Well heck, they should call them all internationals. Its like being in another world in some parts of this state… that’s fer sure</p>
<p>How many here have truly heard of The Masters College? </p>
<p>It can’t be that well known as it isn’t even in USNews’ online edition that has a ton of schools in its data base.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Jym…LOL!!</p>
<p>(then again, I told you my D’s former boyfriend is from Macon, where Wesleyan is apparently located)</p>
<p>Didn’t Masters beat that college from Lewiston, ME in handball last year?</p>
<p>There are a boatload of relatively unknown schools-- like Lambuth U or Freed-Hardeman, just as an example. These are both religious-affiliated schools in Tennessee. Don’t think they’ll find a spot on the Forbes list…</p>
<p>We talkin 'bout Masters College and Seminary in Santa Clarita CA??</p>
<p>BTW-- speaking of unknown religious (christ centered) colleges in GA. Few have probably heard of Toccoa Falls college in North GA, but check out what they have on campus [Toccoa</a> Falls](<a href=“http://www.jjanthony.com/waterfalls/falls/toccoafalls.html]Toccoa”>http://www.jjanthony.com/waterfalls/falls/toccoafalls.html)</p>
<p>It is called The Masters College “For Christ and Scripture”. But on Forbes, it says “The Masters College” but I just gave you what their site says. It is in Santa Clarita, CA.</p>
<p>I was surprised to see MIT in the top 10 as from the zist of the article it seems to be pretty much ranking of liberal arts colleges/universities.</p>
