WTF is going on in this snowflake country?
There is NO reason not to start playing LL in late June.
There is also no reason NOT to have school in September for colleges and all grades Kindergarten thru 12
PC would be the safest place in the nation in September
Rotten liberal snowflake bastages are ruining this society

Hasn’t PC extended the time for accepted students to decide to commit ( put down the deposit) until June 1 as students are mulling over prospects of campus reopening this Fall?

Hasn’t PC extended the time for accepted students to decide to commit ( put down the deposit) until June 1 as students are mulling over prospects of campus reopening this Fall? Yes. As a few weeks ago, Fr. Shanley said we were 20% off on deposits. But that is not as crucial as it sounds. PC is in what is called (in admissions terms) "the sweet spot". We accept 50% of those applying with the hopes we get 20% of those applicants. Most schools want the 20% but only are getting 15%. Lots of competition out there though we've seen actual enrollment of recent classes at 10+% of our target. So we've got a little safety cushion. But there is a new world out there and, going forward, students will make decisions accordingly. PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

Good find, Dad.
I'm just glad my youngest is done with her college experience, even if it means I paid a premium vs. what could shake out. All tolled, she loved PC
