[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at Bates and it's not remotely super woke or artsy crunchy. Very outdoorsy, down to earth, not especially political student body. At the height of the Gaza drama at big universities, I asked my DC (who happens to have a pretty diverse group of friends) about protests on campus and the response was "protesting what? My kid may be particularly clueless but the point is that none of the political upheaval elsewhere even registered at Bates. I think they have some dance and performance stuff on campus but there's also a lot of sports and hiking/skiing. One of the big annual events is a mid-winter jump in the campus lake.

I think the vibe is probably similar for a lot of the schools mentioned here. I visited several of them, including Wesleyan, recently with my younger kid and the only SLAC that seemed like it had a lefty/artsy vibe was Haverford.[/quote]

oh that's interesting, I didn't get that vibe at Haverford at all. I did get that lefty/artsy vibe at several others like Oberlin, Wesleyan, Vassar, Bard, Skidmore, and several of the women's colleges.[/quote]
