[quote=Anonymous]Davidson first and foremost is a great place for smart kids interested in academics - the type who actually want to learn, not just tally graduation credits - without the hyper-competitive culture of the NE, the super nerdiness of Swarthmore, and the significant sport focus of Amherst (where half the kids are sports recruits). They will be supported by small class sizes where participation is expected, professors who want to and do teach, and students who like to talk about ideas even outside the classroom. There is a lot of reading and writing, and the writing center is an important aide. If students want to pursue graduate school, departments know how to prepare them. This includes class work , on-campus research, and high-level, off-campus research during the summer (think med research at Harvard and UCLA). Alumni are very supportive of student internship and professional goals with a significant number providing such access themselves. [/quote]
