[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a TJ kid who is interested in SLACs as a better fit for him than larger universities (smaller classes, smaller student body, more interaction with professors, etc).  WM is his in state option. Davidson is high on his list and checks all the boxes, along with Oberlin, Wake Forest (not technically SLACs, but have programs that appeal), Bowdoin, Swarthmore and Haverford.  Zero interest in UVA. Feels WL would be a bad fit socially (too conservative, too Greek).  If the financial aid from Davidson looks good, it’s a definite option.  If not, we can’t justify the cost over WM.

Davidson has excellent academics, and a great reputation with employers, grads schools, etc.  I frankly don’t care what my neighbors think. Good fit for my kid is more important than bragging rights. [/quote]

Davidson is a great school.  As for W&L, I wouldn't be so quick to write it off as too conservative or too Greek without stopping for a visit, and it is on the way to Davidson. [/quote]
