[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep]If I don't get into Sewanee ED, I'll probably be headed to Hampden-Sydney next year.  I'm a  bit nervous about HSC though, because I'm afraid the students might not be serious about academics. How tough is it to transfer to UVA from an LAC like Hampden-Sydney? What do I need to do if I want to do this? My major will be Classics. [/quote]

Or you could like Hampden-Sydney and not want to leave! Make the most of wherever you end up.[/quote]
That is very possible. At least from the outside, HSC has everything I'm looking for. Preppy, conservative,  a strong core curriculum, and a good Classics department. However, I've heard there's a serious issue with drinking at HSC, and that scares the heck out of me. I'm a very religious guy, and may abstained from alcohol entirely.  I don't have an issue with some students drinking on weekends. What I would have an issue with is a huge number of students running around drunk on campus and in dorms.( especially during the week) I liked it when I visited though. Certainly seemed like a place where I'd be happy.[/quote]

Why not apply to Liberty University???[/quote]
PaleoCon here 
Liberty is a joke academically, and does not offer a Classics major. I hate American higher education. 100 years ago, I would've been just fine at Harvard or Yale.  Now the Ivy League is dead. Wheaton and Calvin were once strong Christian colleges with good academics, but now they're shifting to the Left as well. It seems like you have to swallow modernism/Liberalism to be taken seriously  in academe these days. I looked at Hillsdale, but they're dominated by NeoCons/Straussians, Limbaugh-lovers, and Bushites. Same with Grove City. I've said it many times, there's no really good fit for me. There are plenty of places for people on the Far-Left (Oberlin, Reed, Hampshire, Sarah Lawrence) but no colleges for Far-Right Classicists like me. New St. Andrews College might fit my criteria, but it probably wouldn't be taken seriously in today's Left-wing corporate/academic world. As i have said, HSC looked wonderful when I visited, but most people I speak with say there's a huge drinking problem there. [/quote]
