[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easily St. Lawrence.  It's in the absolute middle of nowhere with no transportation options.  There's no local retail and a run down local economy. It's freezing and windy--as cold as Montreal and colder than Juneau--but not in with pretty mountains.[/quote]

To each her own. St. Lawrence offers one of the most collegial, friendly, and welcoming university environments. Students there love to ski, hike, kayak, and generally, spend their time outdoors.Yes, it’s a long winter. But it’s full of fun events and activities. If your dream school is Miami, you won’t like St. Lawrence but for those who love winter sports, it’s ideal.[/quote]
A school can have lots of fun events, but still be in a terrible location.  Nothing you said refutes its bad location.  Kayaking and hiking are possible for about 6 weeks in the fall before the weather turns.  Skiing is still a good drive.  [/quote]

There is nothing wrong with SLU's location, but again as a PP said, if you're looking to go to college in a warm climate, or a city, do not apply.

The remoteness of Canton is part of it's draw, it's a very different atmosphere from where most of it's students come from, and guess what, being exposed to new areas, and different cultures, is part of the LAC experience in my view. Saying it's a "terrible" location is just your opinion. I'd put Trinity in Hartford or Conn College as terrible because they are not very safe. Canton is safe, just remote.

I went to SLU from the NYC burbs and there was nothing more peaceful than the drive up through the Adirondacks to school.  [/quote]
