I guess it is to each his own. Your families all have your stories and I am glad for all of you that MU works out for you. I have never found anyone to say a negative thing about attending or graduating from MU. All the students and alumni are very fond of Marquette and carry a great deal of pride for the school. I am not being negative, but realistic. I will say for me, I will do whatever I have to do financially to have my two kids attend the best possible private or public school they can get into and all of us can afford. I am not afraid to get school loans or a second mortgage. That will only motivate me. My long term picture is to put my two kids in the best possible position to succeed. They both understand that its about their future and the next 40 years. My kids and I have visited about 20 different schools over the years and I always explained to them to look beyond the boundaries of the campus. When you go to work in the world its not about the bricks and mortar of the company that hires you.
As I said before, if your son or daughters are looking for diversity for their college experience, it will not be found on the MU campus.
