My youngest is in a private college.
Goyim, yes but she grew up in a small New England town and is used to being a minority.
Assignments due Shabbos Night….not an issue, has never happened to her, those due to be submitted electronically are due Sunday by 6PM. College rule to encourage Catholics to go to mass Saturday night or Sunday morning.
2 Finals on the same day……college permits all students to reschedule finals if you have more than one the same day. BTW, it was the same when I went to University and Law School
Running home to make Shabbos. Except for her first semester when she had a 9AM class, she has been able to schedule NO Friday classes.
A visit to the University registrar when she enrolled ensured that all her professors receive lists of yuntif and that they are excused absences. The school automatically videotapes the classes, as they are also offered on-line. She then can easily catch the missed class and is given an opportunity to turn work in after yuntif with no penalty. Only downside in missing class and watching video is inability to ask professors questions during a lecture.
BTW>>>she isn’t rushing to our home, she has an apartment 5 minutes from school. Same thing I did when in school eons ago.
