[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to hear your thoughts/experience as DD is interested in Whitman as well.

I’m the PP with a kid at Whitman. It’s pretty great. DC loves classes, is working hard, and has found the community to be both interesting and incredibly friendly. A real mix of kids — many outdoorsy, a lot of niche interests too, and all seem to have openness toward one another. Nice little campus (with wandering ducks!) close to downtown — a two block walk for groceries, a decent meal out, a good record store, boba, plenty of funky thrift stores. (Tons of wineries for the parents if you partake). The big downside is the back-and-forth, and if your kid needs to be in a major metro area, we’ll, Walla Walla isn’t that. I’ve said on here before that if Whitman were in the Northeast or in a major metro area it would be a lot harder to get into…but then it wouldn’t have the same vibe or sense of place. Definitely worth a visit, especially if the distance/locale feels more like an adventure than a drag. [/quote]

You forgot to mention the heated pond for the ducks!  Seriously, though, Whitman was so wonderful.  Both of my kids applied but decided to go elsewhere.  I guess I’ll have to enroll.  ;)[/quote]
