No no I meant the resistance to St. Bonaventure. Franciscans are the hippies in the church and very casual and laid back. They bless pets on October 4th, seriously.
The biggest factor in his hesitation is that his financial aid package, ALL the money given to him is based on a 2.7 gpa. If he screws up no more money. If we think on this realistically, kids go to college and screw up sometimes. It could happen. It would be better to attend a college that has more of a buffer in the gpa level. He is very smart and can easily stay above the 3.0 BUT shit happens. I think he is being smart in considering this. Canisius and Wheaton require only a 2.0. Also St. Bonaventure requires more religious classes than Canisius. From reading college review sites, St Bonaventure appears quite a bit more religious. At the beginning of this thread we weren’t even considering St. Bonaventure because of those reasons so I asked about Canisius’s religious environment only. Now after reading all these comments we have been enlightened. I hope he will reconsider after reading all of this and we will visit the campus next weekend.
