Wartburg featured in New York Times

i turned down uno to go to simpson and god was that a mistake with the student loan debt i have now! i did get some great friends from simpson so i wouldn't trade it for the world but if i was offered something from grandview id take it. my degree has gotten me no where and going to simpson i thought a degree from there is all i needed atleast thats what i was told by admissions.

in past some kids would give up going to iowa central for wartburg, coe, luther, simpson central w/e it is but grandview is is a pretty good location and the facilities are top notch. if i am fortunate enough to have a boy who has the choice of where to wrestle and if its not at the d1 level i will strongly encourage going somewhere that has a scholarship program over simpson easy

Yeah, Central grad here. Even though our schools are supposed to hate each other, I totally understand where you're coming from, especially the bolded.

At the time I was a high school senior, I wouldn't have considered GV even with a scholarship. But costs now are more than double what I paid and the job market for new grads currently sucks. I'm glad I had to use and develop my mind at Central and I did have a great experience and meet great people, but maybe you're right about more people going the NAIA/JC route. In the current context of college cost, scholarship money would speak louder than ever.

Pin I have to disagree with you. I have a son and if he's fortunate enough to get the opportunity in college my number one focus for him will be to find a coach i respect and trust and a program that will develop him as a wrestler and a young man. And one that can surround him with other wrestlers with the same mentality/goals. To me, that's what kids need to have a successful career in college. I would trade that for a few thousand $ i could've saved going to an NAIA or JC any day as i've seen up close how most of those schools are run.
I know your degree didn't work out the way you had planned it, but it does for most kids that go to D3 schools.
 




I made it out of Wartburg in '03 with 13k in student loans which seemed like a lot to me but after seeing what you have I feel pretty fortunate.
 


Yah, I got out of the burg in '07 with about 18k in student loans. I found their FA packages to be more helpful than other schools I was considering. I'm sure it all just depends on the specific situation.
 




yea i didn't get much student loan help unfortunately!

i can't say it didn't get me anywhere i am just currently not using it in my profession.

i wouldn't be married if it wasn't for going to simpson so its worth it
