[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this discussion has mostly centered around big state flagships and merit aid, which is great, but as a parent of a kid who wanted a SLAC, I figured I'd add a couple of other ideas from that realm: Macalester, Reed, and Lewis & Clark. All had early November EA deadlines and notified very quickly. Lewis & Clark offered great merit aid to my kid. I became big fans of each of these schools during the application process, although my kid went elsewhere.[/quote]

At your recommendation, just checked out Lewis and Clark and was saddened to read a review that claimed the stereotypical student is queer.  I can't help feeling like this sudden uptick in queerness is a fad.

There is a thriving community at LC, but it can be intimidating to be involved if outgoing isn't an automatic personality trait for you. It was hard for me to get involved my first year but after jumping in this last year things have been amazing! Students and faculty and professors are so caring and supportive. I feel like I have a voice on campus both academically and personally in the LC community, although that may not be true if you don't fit the stereotypical LC student vibe (liberal, likely queer, and unfortunately, white). Diversity is definitely lacking on campus (and Portland in general) and while there is likely a community for you here, it just may not be as developed as others. Professors are amazing and passionate and that really shows in the classroom, I have learned so much from so many disciplines because the professor has been recommended to me. The liberal arts education is very important here and exploration and interdisciplinary study is definitely encouraged![/quote]
