[quote=Anonymous]Pp with DS freshman - he did go through rush last semester, got a bid at a the fraternity he liked best, then decided not to do it as he wanted more time to explore college and what it’s all about and not have fraternity life be his whole thing. He may still do winter/spring rush not sure. But from what he has told me his social life has been busy and fun, some friends in Greek life some aren’t, it seems to be a mellow thing there. I think pretty small percent of students are Greek. Definitely possible for a freshman guy to go to frat parties even if not in one which I think is not case everywhere.
Business is direct admit, it’s a different model than a lot of other undergrad business programs (can give more detail if interested) for him it was the best fit. I don’t actually remember his stats but I think his gpa  was in the B+/A- range, decent but not highest rigor, SAT low 1300s. He got pretty good presidential award merit aid ( not the highest bracket but enough to make a real difference in cost). 
Gender ratio - seems like could be great for him at some point! Right now still solid with hs girlfriend so we’ll see. He’s always been a guy with a big pack of guy friends and that has seemed to come together for him nicely in college as well. I do see some parents in the FB group talking about their kid struggling to make social connections (like some do everywhere). Overall the campus seems friendly to me and kids seem glad to be there.its also got a higher percentage of OOS students than in-state, given how relatively remote northern Vermont can feel I appreciate the energy that comes from a student body that comes from all over.[/quote]
