[quote=Anonymous]Great academics. Graduating in 4 years is a problem. Less of a problem than 20 years ago, but still a big problem. Do they charge 5th year tuition? They might. Find out. Lots of required courses -- 38% of freshman year is humanities (3/8 courses). Half of the humanities -- I kid you not -- is North American humanities. This was a perverse reaction to "de-westernizing" the humanities curriculum. So much for Islam... Extreme barbell school: has good endowment but no merit aid. Because "equity." It is self-selecting but intellectual kids from donut hole families get screwed: they go to a school with similar selectivity and merit, or go to a higher-ranked school with better career placement. Graduate school placement is very good. Career advising has improved but a problem still for school with that cost (see merit aid above). Good dorms -- many freshman year have own room (have to walk through room to get to own room, but still no shared bedroom).[/quote]
