[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the rural NESCAC experience other than say Union is being in an academic summer camp almost - if you don't like it you shouldn't choose it, but to say as to the Maine Schools, Hamilton, Middlebury etc.. one or the other is more rural or colder or remote is kind of silly - if that type of school appeals to you I would look more at the student body, what the kids do for fun, relative size, depth of classes/profs in your major, etc.. since they are all more similar than they are different.  I went to Hamilton and loved it and then went to law school in a very urban environment and loved that for me at the time as well[/quote]

Can you clarify what you mean by an academic summer camp?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Also Union isn't in NESCAC

If you like summer camp it's a good thing and if you don't like summer camp it's a bad thing.

Come on people...are the posters on this board such inexperienced innocents that they don't even know if they enjoy city life vs. country life? On if you like to hike, ski, camp, etc....many nescacs will be appealing.   If you like urban life, most nescacs are not going to be for you.[/quote]

Wow - really sensitive about a simple question.  I was really just asking for clarification.  Meaning, is your use of the term "academic summer camp" meant to suggest less rigorous academics or meant to speak to the physical environment of the university.  [/quote]

Many of the nescacs schools have very rigorous academics.  I would look elsewhere if a less rigorous academic environment is desireable.[/quote]
