Providence

today was long, but ok, i guess. once we arrived we took a tour of the campus- so small. it is about the size of the middle school i would guess? we then went to a class and chapel. the class was ok- boring, but the teacher seamed really nice, and there were only about 10 kids, so if you had a Q, you could ask. chapel was pretty awesome, too. a group had just gone down to Costa Rica on a service trip, and they talked about that. then we went to lunch, and the people were so friendly! we sat with 3 or 4 other girls, and they were all super nice. later they took us around to the dorms, which were HUGE! there were about 4 girls in a dorm. laundry is free, which is cool. then we went and talked to some people about financial aid and all. something that made me happy. the total cost is about 24,000 a year. if you score above a 1500 on the sat, and have a gpa above a 3.8, you can have 75% off!!! thats 18,000. which leaves 6. if i get the scholarship from valley, that is an additional 1,000 off. plus -500 bc i go to a reformed church. amazing. it would be awesome to only have to pay 4,500 for a Christian education. so ya, it was a pretty good day. and they are only about an hour away from here- very easy to get home for the three day weekends
