[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD liked CC and applied EA. The campus is lovely, and the kids we met there were great. [b]There is, however a big drug culture at the school, so just be aware. Lots of being high each afternoon and every night as normal daily living. We know kids there who are a bit bummed about this because they'd like a little sober social time, at least on weeknights.[/b] [/quote]

Important to understand that daily drug usage is an integral part of CC's campus culture.

Sure, some CC grads get great jobs, but they came from wealthy families with connections. Little or no competition for these positions as parents are well connected.

I have no problem with Colorado College or Eckerd College (Florida) among several schools which serve wealthy families and their kids. The kids are bright; the families connected. Therefore, they can enjoy life as they fit.[/quote]

Many kids go to liberal arts colleges for entering into medical school, law school, or graduate school.  Their block plan potentially could be a good fit for the right kids.  In terms of wealthy kids, CC is not the only one.  All ivies and some privates like WashU have their fair share.  
DC looked into this school, likes their block plan, and submitted an EA application.  Obviously it's not the only school in DC's list, and may not end up going there.  But it does offer something of value to us among so many lacs.[/quote]
