Agree with this. I was impressed with their advising which seems strong. Liked that each kid gets more than one advisor. Seems like a supportive place. Did not like what we heard about the divide on campus, which was heard firsthand from current students who are not that happy there. The area seemed...meh.

My kid liked other places better but it was on the list. Nothing super special about it.

The only "divide" on campus is that of the two different architectural styles which is the result of the merger with Kirkland.[/quote]

That is not what we heard from multiple students. [/quote]

There is a divide IMO: in crowd: athletes, rich kids from private schools and suburbs of major cities, other UMC who can hang with the rich kids.  out crowd: everyone else.  The in crowd is like 60-70% of the school, lots of athletes and super wealthy kids.[/quote]

This is a perfect description of any Ivy+ school or top SLAC. There is always a socioeconomic divide because there is one in life anbd there is zero reason to believe that college should be any different.[/quote]
We haven’t experienced this at the 3 top SLACs our children have gone to. Sounds like a Hamilton problem.[/quote]

Which three?  Genuinely interested. [/quote]
