[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The campus is beautiful, and the dorms and food are excellent. It really comes down to what you think of the block plan. Some love it; some hate it. Think about cramming Calc 3 into 3.5 weeks. Some burn out on studying math alone for that time, while others thrive focusing on one course at a time. On the plus side, students can travel for their blocks. You can spend your block in France, the Antarctic, or Bhutan. The field trips are incredible. You can also trade blocks with other block colleges like Cornell College in Iowa or Quest University in British Columbia. Lots of opportunities to travel. Students like the "block breaks." They get a "long weekend" between each block, meaning they can, for example, go on a ski trip or visit family. If your DC wants to try out Colorado College, high school students can live in the dorms over the summer and take a block or two for future college credit. [/quote]

Correction to my previous post: Quest University, which also had the block system, has closed due to insufficient funding. I visited three block schools (Quest, Colorado College, and Cornell College) with DC some years ago, but DC ultimately decided the block system was not for him. [/quote]
