[quote=Anonymous]My impressions of SLACs with down-to-earth and friendly students, garnered by tours for two different kids and knowing a few students and recent grads. Among elite LACs: yes, Carleton, and also Wesleyan. I know Wes has a rep for "strident activist" types, but all the ones I've met were charming and a little self-effacing. Among slightly lower-ranked (but still top 40 or so) LACs: Harvey Mudd, Skidmore, Kenyon, Macalester. Bonus small school but not a LAC: Caltech. They were so warm and friendly. Just based on personal experiences. Some colleges I'm not mentioning may have just had tour guides having a bad day, or maybe the grads I know aren't representative. A person having a "down to earth" personality starts well before college anyway.[/quote]
