AMDG. We cover a trifecta of topics today that homeschooling parents tend to fret about: STEM, state schools, and sibling dynamics. Kolbe alumni Erin and Michael O’Donnell visit with Bonnie and Steven about their experience with Kolbe and how they transitioned to college, the tradeoffs that come with various kinds of college settings, and how the adjustments for a homeschooled college freshman overlap with those for a brick-and-mortar-schooled freshman. They also talk about the shift in workload from Kolbe to college, how they practice and explain their faith in a setting where Catholics are a minority, and what they would say to homeschooling parents. 

Erin and Michael make reference to Chi Rho, Raider Catholic’s service fraternity.
