<p>However, St. John’s University does not seem to be any more “elite” than University of Kentucky. Indeed, with a frosh class with significantly weaker high school credentials, the opposite may be true.</p>

<p>Actually, the frosh profile of University of Dayton looks very similar to that of University of Kentucky in terms of high school credentials:</p>

<p>Fordham University appears to have a frosh class with better high school credentials than University of Dayton, University of Kentucky, or St. John’s University.</p>

<p>Step back and remember that the purpose of going to college is to learn in an academic environment, without putting yourself into deep debt. It is not (supposed to be) just a four or five year party or “experience”. Really, it seems that both you and your parents are losing sight of the actual purpose by focusing on the location of the college, rather than the academics and cost.</p>
