[quote=Anonymous]It's a great little school, genuinely nurturing, and a place that truly values learning. Definitely not for everyone. For kids who don't mind a rural setting it's kind of like boarding school but with beer....  and i mean that in a good way... it is sort of magical. people say it looks like Hogwarts and there is something too that. it's small, it's intense, it's close knit... has a famous literary traditon... most faculty live on campus and students are constantly seeing profs, being invited to their homes for dinner, going on hikes with them, etc. for some kids it is absolute heaven: intellectual but fun, at school with your 1800 best friends in a magical place on top of a mountain. for other kids it's just too small, too cute, too cosy, too intense.

it is definitely gaining more name recognition outside the south and probably poised to climb rapidly in USNEWS etc, which may not be such a good thing... right now i think kids very much self-select to go there, and if it rises much higher in the rankings it will start to get more kids who go just because of the ranking, not because they "get" the place.[/quote]
