+1.  I had not heard of it until we toured for DC.  I went to top Slac and Ivy Law.  DW went to top SLAC.  We simply didn't get why some students want to go there.  Maybe it's family tradition or the Greek system but It was a lost day of touring for us.  DC was more interested in VMI next door![/quote]

Yeah, sure. You've never heard of it until you toured it?

I'm calling you out simply because if you attended any of the top 30 or so LACs and universities in this country you pretty much know all the other ones, even if only by name. You read about it in college books when in high school, you have classmates who applied and talked about it, you hear of someone who went, you meet people in grad school whose brother/boyfriend went to W&L, you have coworkers who attended, you see the name on LinkedIn profiles or mentioned in a journal. And then you live in an educated neighborhood or suburb where the name comes up here and there, just like all the other college names in the top 30 lists for LACs and universities, and even on the rear of people's cars.
