My Daughter graduated from Ursuline today. Like many fathers i felt a sense of pride, some relief that the tuition bills would end and then the realization that the college bills would start soon. It was a beautiful ceremony.
What I’d like to say is that The Ursuline school in New Rochelle is worth every penny. I’m not rich by any means. The tuition was difficult and on top of the tuition there are the European trips and other amazing experiences that all cost. However, Ursuline is a sisterhood that holds a special place in the hearts of the girls that even trumps their college days as the years progress. The girls enter as young girls and leave as young women, self confident and well prepared for the challenges of college and life. There is a network of Ursuline alumni ready to help their sisters enter the job world, eager to give advice and guidance. It truly is the most amazing high school system I’ve ever encountered.
If you have the opportunity to send your daughter there, do not hesitate for one second. Do not listen to the people that say the girls are “stuck up’, or that you have to be rich or the other nonsense. Make whatever sacrifices you have to make in order to send them there and you’ll be glad you did.
