[quote=Anonymous]I'm not from DC, but ran across this thread somehow. I am an alum, although I graduated way back in the early 1980's. I loved it there, and didn't realize all I was getting out of it at the time. My sense from a recent visit is that the dorms, food, and campus have improved a lot since I was there. I liked the rural nature of it; I spent a lot of time rock climbing, biking, hiking, whitewater kayaking, etc. If your son/daughter is more interested in an urban environment, Sewanee may not be the place. There is drinking there, and a pretty solid fraternity scene, but (at least when I was there, back in the Middle Ages) only two people lived in each fraternity house for insurance reasons, and fraternity parties were generally required to be open to all, so folks got around from party to party and there was a good deal of social integration - unlike some larger schools where if you're in a fraternity, you pretty much just hang at that frat house. I have heard from other parents that a fair number of DC students are there; you should ask admissions and I'm sure they will tell you. If your son/daughter is interested in a small liberal arts school, whether liberal or conservative, I think it's definitely worth a look.[/quote]
