Don't forget Circleville Bible and Mount Vernon Nazarene.

Well-known, "I didn't come here for school, I just want to get married an have babies before 22" colleges in Ohio.

They're also not accredited (like, their education programs don't even meet the state licensing requirements.)

Ok, I lied. There goes another type of school I wouldn't want my kids attending in addition to a for-profit. lol.

One of my HS friends is super-duper Catholic (he became really religious sometime in college, he was liberal Catholic beforehand), and that's where he's getting his second Master's (in Catholic education). His wife was doing the whole Pampered Chef/Mary Kay/Avon thing and now she's getting her M.Ed from Liberty University! Since they're going to be teaching in Catholic schools forever it's not so objectionable to have degrees from those places.

He and his wife have been married for a little over 5 years, and their first kid was born 10 months to the day after their wedding. He occasionally sends me forwards about how T-Mobile supports Planned Parenthood. I'm like, do you know who I am?

His kids are cute and he's got great taste in music so I let it slide...for now.

Ha Ha Ha. I haven't spoken with the Cedarville crowd since high school. I think they were locked away somewhere.

I'm SO at a loss at what I would suggest or NOT suggest for my hypothetical kids.

I don't think I'd suggest my alma mater. It's way better for graduate/professional study. I wouldn't be OK with commuting to school either - residental all the way. If I could do school over, I would've wanted a more traditional experience (locally, a SUNY or, out-of-state, a Big Ten?) so maybe I'd recommend that.

*lights match* maybe not over my dead body per se, but I am very on the fence about my kid going to an HBCU. I've met some great people from those schools, but...meh. Not 100% sold.

I was avoiding this but since you went there....

My daughter or son will not be attending CERTAIN HBCUs. I have about 5 HBCUs that I appreciate academically, professionally, and socially. I won't specify which ones. My child will know.
