@2plustrio,

Stetson in Florida? Dis not enthused about staying in SC, moving further south is out of the question.

St. Joe’s is interesting. On the surface it looks like it could be a good fit. Is it at least on par with Clemson or USC in terms of academics? It’s a Jesuit institution- is it very religious? D loves G’town but felt it didn’t seem as if religion pervades every aspect of student life.

I only said Stetson because I know they have a very good law school with interesting accelerated options as well.

St. Joes is not ranked as highly in “top” categories as the other schools but I don’t always put all my opinion of a school in what rank they are. Its all about individual fit. I think many lower ranked schools still give an amazing education.

Jesuit teaching is more about service and seeing people as a whole. Cura personalis we like to say. I teach at a Jesuit and I’m not even baptized and follow no religion so no, I would not call them preachy at all. Service learning is incorporated in Jesuit colleges overall.
