Feature - Not your average university

Published: August 25, 2009

Thomas Aquinas College is not your typical modern university. Students read the classics, not textbooks. Girls must wear skirts or dresses to class. There's a curfew of 11 on school nights.

Yet the conservative Catholic college, nestled in the hills of Santa Paula, is attracting national attention for its small classes, generous financial aid and strong academics. U.S. News & World Report this month ranked it among the nation's top 100 liberal arts colleges.

  1. Thomas Aquinas College sounds like a wonderful place to learn something very worthwhile that can serve the student well for a lifetime. I'd call it a diamond in the rough of our vulgar, pagan and declining culture. The classics are of eternal value.

    When I left the consecrated life of Regnum Christi several years ago, I promised myself one thing - I wouldn't let myself get bitter. Then 2006 happened, and Father Maciel was asked to retire to a life of penance. He's innocent, I thought. Father Maciel is being asked to give the ultimate sacrifice - to die in complete and utter ignominy. But after 2006, something interesting happened. A veil started to be lifted little by little from before my eyes.  - Testimony from a former consecrated member @ Catholic Light
