[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Do you hear yourself? What an insufferable human. Gross. [/quote] +1. It's the same old anti "woke" commercial every post seems to devolve into now on DCUM. And for the people claiming Vandy is attractive because of top sports, note baseball won a NCAA championship in 2019, but beyond that bowling is the only successful sports program.  [/quote]

There are many students that want to go to a prestigious college without being force-fed aggressive, left-wing politics 24/7. Many students that have more moderate or even conservative values are more wary of attending the Ivies because of the politicized environments they've exposed themselves having over the past year.

A lot of kids want to go to football games, tailgates, fraternity parties, and have regular college-aged fun. They don't want to be forced to pretend to care about Israel-Palestine, fossil fuel divestment, or other hot-button political issues. Moreover, at these schools, there's an unspoken expectation that students must only support one side of the issue.

Schools that have school spirit, sports, and Greek life (Vandy, Duke, etc.) will gain interest from students that want a respected degree without all the drama we currently see at Columbia and Harvard. [/quote]
