[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]very very liberal, this doesn't shock me at all. [/quote]

Aren't ALL of the SLACs "LIBERAL" ?     Whieh isn't?[/quote]

i think PP meant liberal in a different way than what liberal refers to in LAC.

Williams is the polar opposite of Swat.[/quote]

That is exactly what I meant. I looked at the NESCAC schools and Swarthmore, withdrew my application to Swarthmore after visiting because of the holier-than-thou liberalism and general sanctimony surrounding the campus.

It seemed the kids there were in turmoil of being spoiled, well educated brats while trying way too hard to be crunchy. IT definitely speaks to a certain kind of student, and its academics are very, very strong. But it's a special place.[/quote]

PP here. yeah i can see it turning off a lot of people.

that said NESCAC schools are way too 'bro' if you know what i mean so they have pretty shitty cultures to on the other extreme. That said many DC area students seem love that scene so what do i know?

Pomona IMO has the best LAC culture. relaxed, fun, easy-going, not to stressful....i've met many NESCAC and swat grads who ended up not liking their schools but i've never met a pomona grad who had anything bad to say about the school. [/quote]

Funny, a friend of mine went to Pomona and hated. Transferred to Swarthmore and loved it. So its hard to generalize. My DC won't even visit Swat because its too crunchy and liberal. Prefers the bro culture at a couple of the NESCAC schools. Other kids hate the bro culture and want the Swat culture. [/quote]
