Parent of a current Vassar junior here.

It was the right fit for her, though it was not on our radar at all until we happened to add it to a tour of other NY LACs just because it was near others she wanted to see! Let's say that the visit bowled her over, and us parents, too. I won't go into details unless you want, OP, but the visit really made DD want to attend.

Why isn't it better known down here? I think people in this region, the DMV, unless they are from or went to college in the Northeast somewhere, simply aren't very aware of Vassar. It's small (2,600). People might not realize that it's no longer a women's college (it's been co-ed for 52 years!) so they might assume it's still single sex and therefore maybe not what their kid wants.

And there are so many liberal arts colleges nationwide that even an excellent one just doesn't necessarily get noticed. I do note that some above say they know of high schools sending kids to Vassar from this area so it's not unknown....

OP, do you have a kid who is looking at colleges now and maybe thinking about Vassar? Can I try to answer any questions? DD is having a terrific experience there and I should add, it's been an in person experience--they only lost some of spring 2020 to distance learning but were on campus fully all of last academic year and this year so far.
