[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s odd- certain schools just become hot in certain areas (and even within certain high schools.) Nobody applies to Vassar/Middlebury/Bates/Bowdoin from my kids’ school but plenty apply to Haverford/Swarthmore/Wesleyan. Doesn’t make a ton of sense other than trendiness.[/quote] Whereas I think of Bowdoin and Middlebury as being very popular. Not sure why you don't hear more about Vassar. The campus is striking (in a traditional/classic sense)--especially the library! It is small. The town is not compelling, but travel to NYC is easy. I think it is definitely worth considering for SLAC-seekers interested in STEM as well as the Arts. It appealed to my DD initially, but she was little turned off by our odd guide (who described feeling disconnected to others on campus). The counterculture look of several students also seemed to influence her (i.e.,she is more preppy). But again, it has much to offer the right person. [/quote]
