[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid there now.

Pros. They like the liberal vibe.  They love the flexibility to take anything they want pass/no pass.  (And if a kid fails a course, it shows up on internal transcript for advisor to see, but not published on external transcript.). This encouraged my kid to take chances with hard CS courses and to not panic too much when a course wasn't going well.

Cons.  Classes are quite large in the popular majors (econ, CS, math).  (Kid doesn't mind this, but I kind of do.). Providence isn't much of a town--for fun, they go to Boston.  [b]Very run-down dorms and lousy cafeteria food[/b].[/quote]

We have heard about the dorms too. Not the best news for kid with allergies perhaps. Why don't they upgrade dorms, they must have the $?! So the food is not like at Bowdoin, too bad.[/quote]

They built new dormitories..

Those end up being for seniors, if they can even get them. Trust me, most dorms are very spartan.  I went to a regional lac and was shocked. So glad my kud is in financial aid. The full pay parents are outraged every year.[/quote]
