DD looked at Oberline.  Family "was on the fence" about whether to proceed.

Friend sent us the attached which is not at all favorable.  Is this what this school is all about or is it just another example of some flake at a SLAC going off the deep end?

Seems like we see alot of this nonsene at the SLACs?

Obviously an exception not the rule, but I would never send my DC to a cloistered college town for the four years that there are expected to transform from a young adult (many in this are coming from sheltered environments) into a functioning member of the "real world."  For the vast majority of people who hope to have jobs one day, the "real world" is urban, diverse, crowded and competitive.[/quote]

Ok.  But what about the students at Towson (urban, diverse, etc.) who thought it was a good idea to come up with a White Student Uinion and who advocate segregation?  Or the number of "big" schools whose students have parties with racial stereotype themes.  Small town SLACS do not have the monoply on misguided and backwards thinking.  Where there are college students, dumb decisions will be made.  You cannot protect your child from that. [/quote]
