<p>Congratulations aksoccerboy. May be you will find a nice catholic girl to date at Yale and get your parents to upgrade your parental financial aid! I do suggest you borrow money from your parents rather than outside since it costs too much in interest.</p>
<p>"texaspg, Do you really think he applied to all those other schools knowing that his parents would not pay for them? "</p>
<p>“Also, I knew from the beginning that my parents would pay more for a Catholic college than a non-Catholic ones. They were clear on that principle.”</p>
<p>I’ll admit, my first impression was that they had a problem with Yale. I do think it’s somewhat different for your parents to say, “We’ll pay more for a Catholic university or college than we will for a non-Catholic one.” </p>
<p>I would never actually say that myself, but, as I said, it’s their prerogative.</p>
<p>I hope you have a fantastic experience at Yale, and I hope you come out of it feeling you got your money’s worth.</p>
<p>If you don’t like the Catholic center at Yale, St. Thomas More, head to St. Mary’s. <a href=“http://www.stmarys-priory.com/[/url]”>http://www.stmarys-priory.com/</a> It’s a Dominican parish and a lot of Catholic Yalies prefer it to St.Thomas More. <a href=“http://stm.yale.edu/[/url]”>http://stm.yale.edu/</a> Some split their allegiance. Sometimes it’s nice to get out of the Yale bubble for a while. I’m just letting you know there’s more than one option. (St. Mary’s is actually closer to some of the residential colleges than St. Thomas More is.)</p>
