| Does anyone know anything about this school? DC is interested in their business program but it sounds too small. Opinions on it? |

| I work in business in the DC area and have observed that W&L grads really look out for each other...great network. Also have been impressed with their grads. Would recommend for my own kids. |

| I would suggest you make a visit and let your DC drive the process. |

| Definitely visit. DC didn’t like it. Too many rich kids and too greek for her. She had her fill of wealthy kids and a stressful social structure in high school and wanted something more laid back. |

| Yes, visit. IMHO it is what UVA used to be. So good and bad attributes. |

| My kid couldn’t do it. The legacy of Lee that some of the alumni don’t want to let go of was too much. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-lingering-stain-after-the-flags-come-down/2016/07/01/aa85e6dc-21df-11e6-aa84-42391ba52c91_story.html?utm_term=.2d7f412df70d |

| Very strong alumni network and a strong business/economics program with good track record for placement. The alumni I know absolutely love their time there. |

| Can't speak to business. It's been ten years but a family member transferred out because the social seen was stifling, and she is a preppy, rich, southern gal, so I take it the appeal is very niche. |

| Fantastic school, OP, though if small size is an issue then that’s that. Plenty of bigger schools out there. |

| Isn't it a super conservative school filled with trumpies? |

| Enclave of the rich. Very strong and expensive Greek system |

Better keep Stanford off your list. Yikes. |

OP - Check out the Johnson scholarship before you fall for this. |

| Respected in the DC metro area -- However, a visit to the school will really be illuminating. |
