Davidson for the win. It's a wonderful school in a moderate climate with outstanding resources. The undergrad experience is truly amazing.

Actually more info needed as the student’s academic interests are relevant. Middlebury and W&M could also be “truly amazing” depending on student and field of study.

It’s an outstanding education. One of the best. Your kid will work incredibly hard and will be a deep thinker. Every Reedie I know is unbelievably smart and has been able to carve a really interesting path.

Can someone explain the open drug policy?

And for pp, has every Reedie you’ve known been able to support himself financially?

Math major, likely double major with a social science
Values the scholarship and learning above all. Wants to be among smart people really interested in learning. Doesn’t care about frats or social atmosphere, doesn’t care about sports. Wants a diverse campus.

That is a weird perspective for any 18-year-old to have. You sure your kid really doesn't care about any of these things?

PP, you don't know anyone with a grad degree in math, do you? I'm the poster who said UMD Honors by a mile. Someone else suggested Case, but I don't think Case is really diverse, certainly not when compared to College Park.

Sounds like a very interesting young man or woman.

I have a child Case- your child sounds like my child at Case.

Can you say a little more about why UMD honors? Or can the poster who likes Case say a little more? I have a similar DD, also possible math major with a second science major and we are thinking about where to apply. Also not into drinking parties or sports. Looking for friends with intellectual curiosity.

I’d go with William and Mary, cheaper and the best size. I know kids at both the others who feel their school is too small.

I graduated from St. John’s College about 30 years ago. Great school with lots of grads going into law, medicine, or academia. Very interesting to see the variety and depth of occupations among my classmates. I have a very decent and satisfying career but not on their level.

Thank you for your feedback on St. John's. DS is still not sure and this is helpful. I love that it's so different, but he needs to embrace the different. I know you had said 30 years, but socially will it be okay? It's so small.

It’s definitely small. It has a second campus in Santa Fe, NM and many students, including me, spend 1 or 2 years on each campus to expand their circle a bit. That was a huge plus for me at least.

If your son is interested, he should visit the campus and see if it’s a fit. Let me check but I believe they also offer one week seminar “camps” in the summer to study some of the Great Books in a group. That would be a great trial run.

No question for me—Middlebury. The most beautiful campus I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them.

Google the phrase “St. John’s College Summer Academy.” It’s easier than navigating the SJC website to find it. There are a variety of topics to choose from as well as dates. While the Summer Academy is a chance to spend a week on campus over the summer, there is a virtual option if that works better for you. Best of luck as you navigate this exciting time for your son and family.
