[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst, Wiliams, and Bowdoin will weather the demographic cliff with their $2 billion endowments. Colby and Holy Cross have 2 of the best Presidents in higher education. IMO, Colgate had 3,000 app drop, Midd smaller decine but rankings have nosedived probably more than any other LAC. Forget Conn College, Trinity has seen much better days. Bucknell
Lafayette, and Lehigh fighting it out for kids who see Pennsylvania as a destination(yikes). Wesleyan and Bates carving out the really woke crowd. Lesser prestige schools like Hobart and St. Lawrence in tough spots.

Not for nothing but I don’t think a lot of you have ever spent any time on Wesleyan’s campus. Unless by woke you mean DS can’t fly his Trump flag outside his fraternity house window without some pushback. [/quote]

yeah hello - pls lets not make Wesleyan out to be some type of open-minded and balanced Mayberry.  My kiddo athlete had threats carved into his dorm room door during 2020 election. And this is the most apolitical kid on earth - the wackos just saw all athletes as threats.  I would think twice about encouraging your DS to be vocal about his MaGa leanings[/quote]

No one said it was balanced politically. But neither are most selective colleges between Virginia and New England. My point is that it’s way over billed as some blue haired woketopia relative to other schools. You’ve made this claim before that the school is inhospitable to athletes and that hasn’t been my DC’s experience. If your “apolitical” kid wanted to embrace their MAGA leanings maybe they should have looked at W&L. not the schools fault that you failed to consider fit. [/quote]

and you’ve made incessant claims about how wonderfully collaborative and supportive Wesleyan is for athletes - it’s just flat out false.  The student body hates the athletes and it’s likely the most siloed clique-ridden undergrad population in the US[/quote]
