[quote=Anonymous][quote]I heard it summarized this way at an admissions session:Big State U: if you don’t show up to any classes for three days no one notices or cares. Wesleyan: If you don’t show up to classes for three days someone who works for the school will come knock on your door to check on you. I've toured quite a few schools, including big state Us and Wesleyan. I didn't hear anything like either statement. Both reinforced the statement that your experience is what you make it. The big state Us focused on how to make a big school smaller via kids in your living circle, clubs, majors, research etc. Wes focused on how independent the students are, and how they can pursue their own interests. The Wes kid who led our tour was studying physics & dance and also learning a language to study in Asia. It didn't interest my DC, but we both agreed it would be a great fit for several friends.
