[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my student, we looked for schools that where the social scene was not dominated by institutions designed to exclude people, be they sports teams, greek organizations, or selective clubs.

[b]To identify a warm and supportive atmosphere, I'd ask: what happens if a student gets sick? Who gets involved and how? Do students share course notes and study together (when not forced to by group projects)? [/quote][/b]

If my student gets sick, I expect that my child will call me if they need me.  Are there really colleges that have staff that check in on kids so often that they know if they're sick?  Sharing notes and studying together happens between friends at all schools.[/quote]

I was referring to:  if the kid gets sick, do other students -- not just close friends -- check in?  Offer to bring food and gatorade? However, I also like a place where residential like has a strong staff who are a known backup.

And sharing notes is not typical everywhere, as some places are super-competitive.  Kids will say things like 'my notes are illegible, they wouldn't help you'.[/quote]
