[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way up north, but [b]a friend of ours who used to be a private college counselor recommended it for my dc [/b]and he would like to visit. I'd never heard of this school before, and I don't know anything about it beyond their website. Can anyone share experience or insight? I'm concerned it might be a bit too fratty for [b]my kid (who is not fratty at all)[/b], but it's hard to tell. What kind of students are there? [/quote]

I understand why your "friend" used to be a private college counselor.

[b]Why did this "friend" recommend this school for your child ?[/b] Specifics really matter in this case because the school is fairly small (just above 2,000 students), isolated despite the presence of other schools in the area as they do not intermingle, subjects one to unusually cold weather, cliquish, heavy usage of intoxicating substances (primarily alcohol), with a heavy emphasis on sports.

Good school for an athlete--especially those who want to play more than one sport during college (ice hockey is D-1). Good school for a solid, but not outstanding, student who seeks or needs a substantial tuition discount (merit scholarship). Beautiful campus. Lots of study abroad options.

Alumni group is & has always been strong as the isolation and the harsh winter weather lead to a form of incestuous camaraderie.

Hard to get to this school so one really needs a compelling reason to expend the time and energy to visit.[/quote]
