Agreed, my daughter graduates from Stonehill this year for Early Education/ Spanish. She is the last of 2 and I am happy that my kids have no debt starting their professional lives (she will be on her own for her masters). Many colleges have lost their way and are more worried about marketing the college experience rather than the quality of the education.
