Lisa goes Catholic

So how does a Baptist girl end up at a Catholic college?  Good question, but like they say if you follow the money you will usually get to the bottom of most things.  For whatever reason Lisa got a full scholarship for Aquinas College in Grand Rapids.  Even though it was a Catholic school the price sounded good to me and she wanted to go there so that was how she ended up at a Catholic college. I also liked the fact that she would be pretty close to home so we could still see her on weekends.   I don't think they were all that religious there anyway so it didn't make a big difference it seemed.  Lisa spent her first two years of at Aquinas and met one of her best friends there- Kara.  But by the time she was a junior she realized Aquinas did not offer what she needed and switched to Western Michigan to get her Music Therapy degree.  It probably was a good thing she got out of Aquinas because she told me later that the head of the college who was new to that position gave too many scholarships away and had to be removed from his position.  Too bad he didn't move over to Western it might have been a better deal for Lisa.  But all in all she got an education much cheaper than at a place like Wheaton and made some good friends to boot.
