[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quirky on these threads either means non-conformist or on the autism spectrum. [/quote] Yes - that’s how these threads define “quirky”. It’s not about liberal/conservative or activism. If anything, deep interest in politics isn’t stereotypically quirky at all - that’s considered a “normal” socially acceptable passion. I hate painting with a broad brush, but quirky in the context here would be the kids on, say, Stranger Things - smart but socially awkward, into Dungeons and Dragons and anime as opposed to sports, little interest in parties, etc. I actually understand the OP’s overarching concern in the sense that a SLAC with a defined quirky personality might be more difficult for a “normal” (whatever that means) person in a place that has fewer students than a typical large metro suburban high school. That being said, a place like Williams doesn’t fit the quirky archetype - I’m not sure where anyone got that idea.[/quote]
