[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Midd has really good salary outcomes. Vassar is really artsy. [/quote]

Vassar alumna here… I wouldn’t say Vassar is artsy necessarily. It’s definitely not a Big-10 football school but it’s definitely a mix of art and science and everything in between. Oh and I make $300K so I’d say there’s possibility of good salary outcomes from Vassar too [/quote]

have you toured in the last 5 years? we toured on Tuesday and found it very artsy.

in my day - and maybe your day - it had pretty weak FA so it was a lot of well off white families from New York City,. they did well because they always did well. today is not 1995 though. Also, the % of men has decreased to under 38% now. It had climbed to above 40% for a time, but it's slipped back. [/quote]

Parent of a recent grad here. Addressing how "artsy" Vassar is, my own DC was an arts graduate, but has many friends whose degrees are in neuroscience (a big thing at Vassar--how did your tour miss that?) as well as chemistry and biology. They're all working in those fields now, two years after graduation, or they're going to grad school in those fields. Vassar definitely has strong and prominent humanities and performing arts departments, no doubt. But it's a bit of a stereotype to depict it primarily as artsy. Did you tour the Bridge, which is the campus's main science laboratory builidng?  [/quote]
