[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only know a kid who left. She is DD’s best friend and now goes to Uchicago, but also got into Penn for transfer. The issue was department size was absolutely tiny for sociology and the support for cognitive science was “nonexistent” since there weren’t many dedicated cognitive science professors/courses. [b]Your kids an athlete, so I’m assuming an Econ major [/b]where this will be less of an issue. She really disliked the CS lottery and just felt that opportunities were limited for those who weren’t gung-ho about their whole life culminating into a PhD. There’s basically no student life, because the environment is pretty intense and students self select to be extremely academic. She loved the campus and the courses were really strong (breezing through Chicago as a senior now), but she hated her experience for the most part.[/quote]

Can you say more about this assumption? Is it true at every school or just Swarthmore?[/quote]
It tends to be at liberal arts colleges that the athletes cluster in the majors with jobs, so Econ, Applied Math, and CS[/quote]
