[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has been selected as a Johnson scholarship finalist. If DD wins the scholarship, it is a free ride for all 4 years, plus additional opportunities.  While we are able to afford to send our DD to college, saving this much money on their education would be incredibly beneficial.

We have been concerned about the stereotypes of the school and told our DD that if she is accepted to a college she prefers more, she should go where she wishes.

Due to covid, we have been unable to visit W&L (or pretty much any colleges). But a visit will be imperative before DD decides.[/quote]

I was a Johnson Scholar and graduated a few years ago.

It’s an opportunity that I would not pass up. Many students are there for the quality education, not for the fraternities. The professors are mostly excellent and the opportunities on a campus of its size are unparalleled.[/quote]

And that all may be true. But, there’s a reason they have to buy talent with such a high ranking. The white male frat boy stereotypes aren’t wrong and are probably fine in white male frat boy fields.  Would I send one of my kids?  No. Not even for free. [/quote]

You’re “sending” your kids? They don’t choose their own colleges? Yikes. [/quote]

Most people $end their kids to college. Ye$[/quote]

If by send you mean allow or disallow certain schools, then no. Just the lunatics. [/quote]
