[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my student, we looked for schools that where the social scene was not dominated by institutions designed to exclude people, be they sports teams, greek organizations, or selective clubs.

To identify a warm and supportive atmosphere, I'd ask: what happens if a student gets sick? Who gets involved and how? Do students share course notes and study together (when not forced to by group projects)? [/quote]

Is this a serious post?  [/quote]

It's the best answer so far. Why do you ask? What is your answer?[/quote]

My answer is the same as other posters:  surely you don't expect school staff to come looking for your kid if they miss a class?  Barring any true emergency or life-threatening issue, your student should be able to visit the health center when sick and manage just fine.  And how could you possibly know if ALL students will be willing to study together?  Some kids like that, others want to be alone.  You just sound unbelievably smothering - and I say that as a parent who was very protective of their *child* but realized that college was the time to start becoming independent.  [/quote]
