[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reputation is that it's for very artsy and dare I say, somewhat nerdy, girls and gay boys.

This is good to hear. Planning to visit with my DS, but wasn’t sure it would be a good fit for him as a heterosexual male. He’s serious, academic oriented and it seems to not be a party school, but he’s also rather mainstream (not at all granola).

PP here. My kid is rather mainstream too, and there are many mainstream kids on campus. It is by no means a party school; the parties are small and typically on campus, but can be found if one so desires.  And students are serious but it's not a pressure-cooker environment.  It has the usual advantages of a SLAC--small classes, approachable, engaged faculty, and the ability to be flexible and accommodating.

There are some informative College Confidential threads about Vassar that are worth checking out, if you haven't done so already, including tips on what to see in the surrounding area when you visit.  Enjoy your visit![/quote]
