[quote=Anonymous]It's an academically challenging school with a wide variety of students who tend liberal.  They have plenty of parties and the full spectrum of kids who enjoy them. Parties tend to be frequent in the beginning of the semester die down a bit in the busy times and then pick up at the end. There's a drinking/drug culture fairly typical of colleges--you can get anything you want and avoid anything you want substance-wise.  The majority of students (like the majority of the population) are extroverted, but it is a place where introverted kids can find a niche.  It's a fun, hard school.  The town is a little too geared towards tourists and doesn't have enough excitement, but that means most of the fun happens on campus, on off-campus frats or in close-by group houses rather than in bars.  There are many school-based traditions that nearly everyone participates in which creates a cohesive feel. A lot of student organizations and a campus that really is geared towards undergraduate life.  Students develop relationships with professors.  It's a fairly balanced, nurturing place in my experience (based on 2 kids and a wide variety of friends). Between the times my two kids were there, they improved their support for mental health/well-being. My first kid partied a bit too much for the academic demands and had to sort that out (and did so successfully), the other seems to be keeping it together better from the start.
