<p>If parents are rich enough that spending $200k on college doesn’t dent the budget they should go ahead and spend their money on this. Every full pay student releases funds for those that need them. Our son ended up at our flagship U even though we could afford more. Too bad I couldn’t have used my current funds to ease my college experience back in the day…</p>

<p>As I recall I first heard the term “ta-ta” used in a mammary sense in the film “An Officer and a Gentleman.” Which would put it around 1983.</p>

<p>If your level of preparation is that high, you don’t belong at a “local Christian college,” either. Except for a few very well-known universities with a Catholic affiliation (and I don’t think that’s what this person meant by “Christian college”), most colleges with religious affiliations are not in the very highest tier, academically.</p>
<p>I agree. You belong at a university, or at a LAC that has very strong offerings in your major. </p>
<p>Edit: there are very good colleges that maintain a Protestant religious affiliation but that are hardly “Christian colleges.” Emory is still at least nominally Methodist and St. Olaf is Lutheran, for example.</p>

<p>And the Catholics, of course, have Notre Dame. However, I’m guessing that the OP’s friend’s husband’s idea of a very good college is Liberty U or Bob Jones University. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I’m sure that’s what he means. Most, though not all, of the colleges still affiliated nominally with mainstream Protestant churches are very secularized. They may have a chaplain from the denomination, offer some scholarships to church members’ kids, give kids of their clergy free tuition, etc., but that’s usually about it. </p>
<p>It’s very different, of course, at a college like Liberty or Bob Jones. </p>
