<p>I went with my niece to Grove City College’s Crimson day ( last Saturday ) for prospective Freshmen. The place was PACKED. It had one of the most well organized information sessions I have ever attended. Testament to one of the best managed schools in the country ( hey, if you can refuse Federal aid and still thrive and exceed expectations, you are a school worth considering ).</p>
<p>I’m not sure if they can accomodate all applicants who want to go there.</p>
<p>And oh BTW, in case you want to find out how good the school is, a recent study by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s (ISI) National Civic Literacy Program surveyed 14,000 freshman and seniors at 50 colleges and universities across the country regarding their knowledge of Civics and Foundations of American History, and guess what ? Grove City College scored SECOND ( Harvard at #1), topping such Ivy’s as Yale, Princeton, Brown and Duke ( and way ahead of its neighbor, Carnegie Mellon ).</p>

<p>So, why pay $35,000 in tuition for a quality college education that you can get at HALF the price ? Food for thought.</p>
