College Advice on Saint Thomas Aquinas College

red f Question: Need help!!!? Should I go to St thomas Aquinas College that is about 30 minute drive cheaper tuition or Manhattan College expensive and closeby. Which one do you prefer I go to, let me know which college offers more financial aid and grants and which one has better teachers and curriculum please help I will give best answer to anyone thank you 30 months ago Seren... Best Answer If you want to prepare for a job other than a religious vocation, go to Manhattan College. The emphasis at St. Thomas Aquinas is on theological and philosophical thinking and does not appear to prepare you for the working world. Apply to each college and send a financial aid application to each. Sometimes more expensive colleges have more aid available. Each individual need is different, so you really need to find out what they will give you if you are still considering both of them. s

red f Question: NEED ADVICE!!!!! Please help? Can anyone tell me which college I should attend Manhattan College or St Thomas Aquinas College. IF you have any thing to tell me about these colleges please notify me. I will give anyone a best answer just for trying to help!!!! 30 months ago Seren... Best Answer St. Thomas Aquinas College has a unique approach to learning - using the classics. They describe themselves as giving a Catholic liberal education, unique in America. This is a description taken from their web site: Classical order and division of liberal studies Philosophy and theology central in the curriculum "Great Books" replace textbooks Classroom conversations replace lectures Integrated, comprehensive curriculum replaces electives, majors and minors http://www.thomasaquinas.edu/ Manhattan College describes itself: Manhattan College, overlooking Van Cortlandt Park in Riverdale, is an independent Catholic institution of higher learning which embraces qualified men and women of all faiths, races and ethnic backgrounds. Established in 1853, the College is founded upon the Lasallian tradition of excellence in teaching, respect for individual dignity, and commitment to social justice inspired by the innovator of modern pedagogy, John Baptist de La Salle. http://www.manhattan.edu/about/mission_and_history.shtml It all depends on which teaching style you prefer. Study each catalog carefully, paying special attention to the course offerings. These schools are quite different from one another. s See all 4 answers
