[quote=Anonymous]I went there briefly. I found it suffocating. It is tiny, smaller than a decent public middle school. There is tremendous social-conformity pressure. There's an honor code that I recall was used from time to time to beat somebody up, because the accused seemed to automatically be found guilty. Students sat on academic standing committees and they basically voted according to personal preferences (forget the Buckley Amendment at Haverford -- nothing is private). They made a big deal about the allegedly stellar academics, but the academics seemed to be all about a handful of profs; so you take a popular course and write a paper and take an exam and pick up your B+ or A- on the way out. The place was very insular; think Salem's Lot. Yes, I transferred out. [/quote]
