[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Evergreen State[/quote]

OP, the mention of Evergreen State wasn't a joke. The campus is in a forest and it one of the most unique learning environments out there.

The OP's kid is interested in W&L and you're suggesting Evergreen State? That's like saying to an Oberlin hopeful, "Once you finish your campus visit, drive on up and check out Hillsdale."[/quote]

No, the OP stated below in the original post:

[i]"I haven't heard much about this one. I know it is Greek heavy, but would it be worth checking out for an outdoorsy non-preppy kid who loves the Shenandoah valley /appalachian landscape and wants to study environmental science, geoscience, etc at a SLAC/small university? We are not in VA, but W&L is closer for us than schools in the northeast"[/i]

Everything about Evergreen State is what OP's kid likes just not in Shenandoah Valley set in an immersive learning environment that gives a student the freedom to design their own coursework.[/quote]

Evergreen State tried to force all white people to leave campus for a day. A tenured and respected professor ended up losing his position for having the audacity to stay on campus and do his job rather than participate in the temporary exile. Unless that's the kind of "learning environment" one thrives in, I would steer clear and not be lured by this bizarre school because it's outdoorsy.[/quote]
