[quote=Anonymous]I went to Rhodes and tell my kids I would pack up and go back tomorrow. It's true - I treasured my time there and still credit a lot of the skills I learned there with my success (in many ways).

Extremely supportive environment, engaged professors and a great campus. You are assigned an advisor and likely stay with them your entire time - they get to know you and help you choose your classes. To quote a co-worker when describing Rhodes, "They teach you how to think there." Strong career services department that you can utilize for internships and post graduation.

I lived on campus all 4 years, and that is very common. I think it contributes to the close-knit community and feeling there on campus. Excellent outcomes for post-Grads in many fields (Med, Law, etc).

I will say (at least when I was there), politics are not as prevalent as they are in this area. To be sure, there are student groups for those passionate about certain things, but there are many different viewpoints on campus. There is an excellent course series called "Search" (you choose Search or Life for 4 total semesters) that all freshmen and sophomores take that teaches you how to engage in discourse with people unlike you/from different backgrounds, but in a polite and respectful way. It really opened my eyes to many different viewpoints and how to listen and discuss differing viewpoints and ideas. [/quote]
