If she goes there, I think she’ll love it. You will too because they do the best parent weekends!

One of the things we liked about PC as parents is that although it’s grounded in the liberal arts, you can also major in a field in which you can get a job right out of college, i.e. business, health management, or education. With the cost of college these days, I think that’s important even for many middle class and even some upper middle class families.

A friend of mine, who was State Director of a major federal government agency told me that they love to hire kids out of PC. One of my daughters is an assistant director of development (fund raising) for a major research hospital in New England. She commented they have a number Of PC alums in their development and communications office, which is a very large department. She had nothing to do with hiring them. The whole non-profit and NGO sector is another career track with good opportunities for graduates with good written communication skills, which alums of liberal arts colleges like PC seem to possess.

Again, I wish you and your daughter all the best.
