[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an athletic, straight son who is politically progressive and socially very tolerant (volunteers with kids who have disabilities, befriended the trans kid in his class who couldn't find a partner for a project, etc). He's considering some SLACs at which he could play his sport. We have visited F&M and Dickinson, both of which seem like decent fits vibe-wise.

What are the student bodies like at Middlebury, Wesleyan, Trinity (CT), Haverford, Occidental, and Vassar? Maybe the Maine ones as well (Colby, Bates, Bowdoin)?

[b]I don't think a super artsy crunchy place will be the best fit for him....he is going to want to find friends who want to watch professional sports, join a fantasy football league, etc, and girls who are interested in dating men. I feel like at a smaller school you really have to make sure it's the right fit.[/b][/quote]

Vassar probably is not what your son is seeking regarding social life and non-academic activities.

Davidson College in North Carolina should be a comfortable environment for him, but not sure if all sports are D-1 or just basketball is D-1.

Bowdoin & Middlebury should also be given serious consideration by your son.

Colby, Denison, & Franklin & Marshall should also be considered. [/quote]
