[quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read the whole thread (sorry! Perusing DCUM while I eat lunch), but I went to Wesleyan which is a SLAC not dominated by sports. There is a crowd of people who do sports and they tended to be friends; however, the school was quite a bit larger than the typical SLAC, and as a result the athletes didn’t have outsized influence. The academics were really strong. To the point where we were all holed up in the library for much of weekend - there was no time to go road-tripping! The New Yorkers complained bitterly about missing the city, but we made do with the restaurants in Middletown and on-campus activities. I actually played a sport for one season, but dropped it because it conflicted with the organic chemistry lab section that I preferred and I started an independent research project in a lab. My friends all agreed that this was the right call. [/quote]
