[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kenyon and Hamilton both have really strong writing programs. W&L is very strong in econ; it's also probably the most right-wing of all the "prestigious" colleges in the country.[/quote]

Lol.....W&L isn't prestigious.....it's fratty and southern and has an unremarkable academic reputation.  Hamilton really surprised us with its lovely campus, serious but outgoing students, and what I perceived to be a good balance between academics and social life. Growing up in DC I had never even heard of Hamilton but was very familiar with the rest of the NESCAC schools....which is odd.  Maybe they draw more from NY/NE but I was very impressed.[/quote]

Sorry to disagree but facts are stubborn things.  Per 2020 USNWR, W&L and Hamilton are top SLACs both ranked #9and Kenyon is very respectable at 28.  The large endowment allows W&L to invest more in faculty and student financial aid.  The Johnson Scholarship alone is a full ride for 10% of each class.

9.  W&L ($1.68b endowment)
9.  Hamilton ($969m endowment)
28.  Kenyon ($422m endowment)
