Georgetown v. Tufts

To clarify my point, my D will have the final decision. I want her to be happy with her choice. She’s only a HS junior now and exploring options. All I am saying is in my prior posts is that if she were fortunate enough to be admitted to both Tufts and Georgetown, I would probably encourage her to choose Tufts. I wouldn’t forbid her to go to Georgetown if that’s what she decided, and I would pay the tuition, even if I had to cringe a little.

Having said that, I now want to extend the Georgetown community a BIG apology. We visited during the past week and we were very impressed. D loved DC and the Georgetown campus. Our tour guide was Muslim and I was impressed with what he had to say about religious tolerance there and the absence of any Catholic indoctrination. I guess I expected to see priests walking around and crucifixes hanging everywhere. I did not see anything like that at all. There was a chapel on campus and a few statues of priests, but that was about it. I have to admit that the campus visit and tour really eased my mind. If D is lucky enough to be accepted to both Tufts and G-Town, I would happily support whatever decision she makes. Basically, I was wrong. Sorry.
