[quote=Anonymous]Decades ago, I went to Whitman and my sibling went to CC. I think we had equally rigorous academic experiences; my sister is someone who can focus like a laser beam on what she is most interested in, while I love making connections across disciplines, so I think the block system worked for her and would not have been particularly good for me. I was envious of her backpacking and canoeing expeditions on block breaks, though! In terms of short-term outcomes, I received a full-ride to graduate school while she received partial support and had loans coming out of graduate school. Long-term, she ended up in academia and I have worked in policy/advocacy my entire career. Our experience is dated, but I think Whitman was a better value then (lower tuition at the time) and may remain a better value. But the block system is a significant difference to consider. Overall, she has two great choices! [/quote]
