“One of the things you might notice upon vising Thomas Aquinas College, first, is the strong friendships you see between students here,” Dr. Josef Froula, a tutor at Thomas Aquinas College, New England, told guests at a campus open house last weekend. “The founders of TAC were of one mind about this, and had the firm conviction that this education cannot take place without strong bonds of friendship — and that’s not only friendship among the students, but also friendship between the tutors and the students.”

A member of the College’s Class of 1992, Dr. Froula presented his talk, “The Benefits of a Thomas Aquinas College Education,” to prospective students who had come to visit the Northfield, Massachusetts, campus. The talk, available in the above player, focused on three facets of student life —social life, intellectual life, and spiritual life.

“Friendship is a kind of mutual love, and that love is based on knowledge,” said Dr. Josef Froula.
“Because we know each other so well by having these kinds of classes together, and because we depend on each other for the success of those classes, you are able to know and grow in a mutual love of your friends here in a way that just isn’t possible without this kind of education.”
