PC has made great academic strides the last few decades. Much of it has to do with the school abandoning its initial mission to focus on educating the children of RI's working class Catholics. The school which started out as an affordable option with nearly all commuting students from RI now draws just 10% of its enrollment from the state. It today has a very high cost of attendance and mostly caters to the children of wealthy families from other northeast states such as MA, CT, NY, and NJ.
Wow, 10%? That's shocking! I'm serious, I never would have guessed.
OTOH, being a RI resident pretty much guarantees you can't get into Brown. Full disclosure: rejected from Brown, LOL. I would feel bad except I knew more worthy students who also got rejected my year - like the #1 Hendricken student with off the chart SATs

I think a recent valedictorian in Barrington got in to Brown, but that is highly unusual.

Off the charts SATs doesn't exist anymore...Need to be an olympiad winner etc. to stand out lol. Faculty kids and underrepresented/first generation RI students can probably still get into Brown.
Good news about PC! Something to celebrate.
Not meant as an insult, but I think your age is showing. It's just college kids having fun.
No insult taken, but I'd just suggest, rather than age, it's just maturity showing. Yours speaks for itself. Next time I see see a group of drunks taking a leak on someone's front lawn in Elmhurst, I'll give your view of "fun" due consideration.

That scene can be duplicated near most any college campus across the country (ever been to Amherst, Allston/Brighton, or NARRAGANSETT???). Nobody enjoys that stuff, but you clearly have something personal going on against PC where your bias has skewed your perspective. It's evidenced by outrageous posts of yours such as this, where you say you would rather live in the CHAD BROWN projects (one of the most notorious in the northeast) than on Pembroke Ave.

Please re-read if you sincerely misunderstand. My comment concerned complaints regarding Elmhurst residents. Those I know, complain about the quality of life impact of PC students, not Chad Brown.
I've often wondered WHY the PC students have a longstanding "tradition" of annoying neighbors much more so than other colleges.
And even if one approaches it from a "Catholic" viewpoint (too repressed???)- do Salve students disrupt Newport?
