[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of our top choices regardless of prestige or who attended.  I do hope for some answers from people with firsthand experience and thank you in advance. 
Do students get to know their professors? Are classes rich in discussion and mainly taught by professors instead of TA’s? And, would it be a good fit for an introvert guy with conservative principles (open minded) not at all interested in sports nor Greek life? [/quote]

I am an alum and have a kid starting there in the fall.

No classes taught by TAs.  Lab classes to accompany a science class) were taught by TAs under a prof's supervision.  When I was there, some prof's were very interested in fostering relationships with students.  That was not something I pursued myself, but prof's were definitely accessible and I did feel like I knew all of them pretty well.  Lots of class discussions ( in my humanities/social science major, at least)

Yes to someone not interested in sports or Greek life.  Both are there, and you can participate sometimes (go to a game or a Greek-sponsored event or party) without needing to make it a priority.  There is a big intramural sports scene, if he likes to play but not be a spectator/fan.[/quote]
