[quote=Anonymous]My kid is an Anthropology major at Wesleyan (along with a second humanities major) and is having a great experience. I think it’s particularly strong for cultural anthropology (my kid’s area of interest). Professors have been great, classes are small and engaging (as I assume would be the case at any SLAC).

Also, don’t misunderstand SLACs—they are also very strong in sciences and math, which are part of the liberal arts. Wes, for example, is about to open a big new science building, and many of my kid’s friends are hard sciences majors (sometimes with a humanities double major).

Wes is a little bigger than most of its peers (3000 undergrads with a few hundred grad students) and is in a good-sized town, so it feels lively and diverse; it has a wide range of students and is welcoming to all. And it doesn’t feel terribly clique-y; my artsy kid is dating an athlete.

My kid also liked Vassar; I think there are a lot of cultural similarities. I don’t know anything about Colby.[/quote]
