[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]went to Wooster; it is a fantastic school.  Not hard to get into but amazing teaching. one of the few liberal arts colleges that require a thesis during senior year.  Very high rates of getting students into grad schools.  definitely feels midwestern versus new england... a bit kinder/less edgy, less preppy, overall an excellent education, especially for kids who can't or don't want a rat race but want to be challenged and be in classses with other students who want to engage.

sorry. same poster... forgot to say I was changed because I fell in love with learning for learning's sake.  I went to a big local area high school and was in advanced track classes but was really social and more interested in parties than in class.  The big classes were too easy for me to disappear and not be engaged. I went to Wooster and just lit up because of the amazing teachers and awesome courses.  Came out the other side really ready to tackle adulthood in a way that I don't think i would have had i gone to a huge university.[/quote]

You have no way of knowing that you would have been "ready to tackle adulthood" had you gone to any one of 100 other colleges the size of Wooster.  That's the point. [/quote]

wow... you have a serious chip on your shoulder. its a little odd. The poster asked for those with experience to share those experiences. that is what I diid.   It is so strange that you feel the need to delegitimize others' experiences.  perhaps you would have benefited from attending a CTCL.[/quote]
