[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was looking at NESCAC and from what I can tell through research and campus visit is that they all attract the same kind of applicants within varying degrees. It was almost like culture/student population was not a consideration in picking the school because it was same type of kids at each one.[/quote]

Have to disagree with the post above as there are discernable differences among the NESCAC schools just as Ivy League schools differ.

Wes is woke to a higher degree than Trinity or Conn College or Tufts.

Tufts proximity to Boston activities gives Tufts a different vibe. Not much school spirit as the lack of isolation allows students to go their own ways as opposed to being forced into a small community due to a remote, isolated location.

Trinity College still has the preppy set & concerns for safety beyond the campus boundaries.

Conn College seems to be more feminine than the others. (I'm sure that this will not evoke any responses.)

Size & location influence each campus culture. More important to visit small schools than large universities due lack of significant options.[/quote]

Conn started when Wes kicked women out. Perhaps that’s where the feminine energy comes from. There are still more women than men at Conn but that’s probably the case at Wes too now.[/quote]

People just love to make shit up about Wes. It’s been around 52/48 percent gender balance since 2020 which is very strong for any selective school that is not 100% STEM forward. And to the other PPs, whenever you say a school is not “woke” all I hear is that white Christian nationalist culture is prioritized at the expense of any other marginalized culture or group. You can be there, but keep your feelings to yourself, especially when someone from the dominant culture says something ignorant and offensive. Hey, they were only joking! [/quote]
