[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Any alum anecdotes or thoughts on social life, Greek life? Strength of academics? The town?[/quote]

My DC went there and liked it. Academics are strong and students seem pretty motivated. Lots of good study abroad opportunities that many students do. The school has its own center in Bologna.

Social life is typical for a SLAC - a little insular and it gets old by senior year. Greek life exists, and my DC was in a sorority, but it isn't a huge deal. The current president doesn't like Greek life and seems to be putting them all on probation for various infractions. My DC never lived in the house - I think only a very small group ever does and usually only for one year. Not sure the frats even have houses. All the old frat houses have been turned into dorms.

The town is nice - it's less remote than many SLACs. The restaurant choices aren't great though. Fine for students but not so much for parent visits. We found the distance about right - close enough for a day trip or to pick up/drop off easily but far enough away that it was a different experience. DC really didn't come home other than on school breaks.[/quote]
