[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely a range of schools in this mix of options. We visited Muhlenberg and it’s lovely but a very sleepy area and campus. My student ended up not applying, just found it a bit dull. It’s really strong for performing arts.

Seems like other schools on your list may have more in common (Kenyon, Denison, Richmond are a bit more preppy). Wesleyan definitely well regarded and known for being progressive. I’d put Muhlenberg and Susquehanna lower in terms of ranking and reputation so would probably eliminate those unless they offer something particular your student seeks.[/quote]

Thanks! Since I posted, my kid is removing Muhlenberg from his list. Good to know about Susquehanna - they are offering my kid a lot of merit and from what we've read so far, they seem to offer everyone merit. My kid applied because they've got his majors, creative writing/publishing and editing and business, and he got into their honors college. They seem to have good resources and opportunities. One thing I wonder though, is if my kid will be challenged enough there or would the "easier" classes be a good thing to allow my kid more time to focus on extra curriculars, working with faculty, and other opportunities that they would not have time for if they went to a more rigorous school like Wesleyan?
