So fabulous that St. Thomas is doing this program. I hope all universities will follow suit.

Thank you for doing this. I'm praying other colleges follow this trend. You are definitely on my list of colleges to consider in the future. My kid wants to go to college and I refuse to tell them that is not an option!
