Bad investment. High drop-out rates and low-quality teaching.
As a graduate of Providence, I can speak from experience to the lack of professionalism and opportunity at this institution. From freshman year to graduation, my academic cohort experienced a 50% drop-out rate. In respect to the young ladies who did enter college / university upon HS graduation, many later dropped out of their advanced studies.
In regards to daily life at Providence, teachers were often disengaged and money was not invested properly in education. For example, our science classes oftentimes used equipment from the 1990s and our lab experiments were rationed due to lack of supplies. Furthermore, prosperous fields of study such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) were not encouraged. As one teacher pointed out to our class, "It is better to learn how to clean the classroom to become a proper housewife than to spend the school's financial resources on science / math equipment as young girls do not need to excel in these subjects." To make matters worse, during my time at Providence, there was a firing of staff due to alleged money laundering.
I kindly recommend parents to research other institutions. read more
