<p>Sorry to be getting into the conversation so late.</p>
<p>For many students, not all maybe 30%, bs is the only option!</p>
<p>As a parent and an educator, all the common points are valid; great academics, great facilities, excellent faculty,etc. But what was most compelling for our family was the chance to be with other students like herself, smart, motivated, ready and willing to learn and most important, SAFE!</p>
<p>No where in the world is perfectly safe, true, but coming from a major urban jungle, Chicago, where teens get killed and jailed on a weekly/monthly time frame, bs was a great option for us. We tried the top public school and even homeschooled for 3 years. </p>
<p>BS was just a perfect fit.</p>
<p>Just my 3 cents.</p>
