[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have visited several times and it is gorgeous but has such an Old South feel [b]you’d think it was in a state like Alabama[/b]. Last time I was there it still felt extremely white. The students who like this have a great experience and feel like they’re getting a great education. It is an acquired taste in that the things to do are very limited to dressy, drinky Greek life. [/quote]

I know this was meant as an insult, as snobby DMVers love to use random Southern states as stand-ins for "uneducated" and "closed-minded." But the Honors College at the University of Alabama actually has quite a bit in common with W&L. Both are filled with brilliant, highly competitive students, but ones who desire a fun, vibrant college experience and an active social life on a campus that isn't steeped in woke SJW culture. My kid took a hard look at both schools, and I'd have been happy for him to attend either one, but the larger student body, chicks, and SEC football game day atmosphere at Alabama — not to mention the nearly-full-ride scholarship he was awarded — won him over. But they're both incredible places to get an education and have a blast doing it. Roll Tide and Go Generals![/quote]

Yeah. Calling women chicks isn’t making anyone want to Go Tide!  Or W&L.  But I’m sure you’re drunk frat boys kids where right at home. Maybe they could marry my husbands cousin who started Alabama as a 120 lbs brunette and left as a 95 lbs blonde with raging ED.  But her parent rave about it too. [/quote]
