[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lewis & Clark, Macalester, Grinnell, Reed - all great SLACs. They  have different vibes for sure. But overall, these are terrific schools that - generally speaking - attract fewer DMV applicants than some similar schools in the Northeast.[/quote]

We were very impressed by Grinnell. [/quote]

DC concerned about rural location, though the little village next to it seems pretty good - I've seen a lot more rural. What did you like?[/quote]

Nice campus, open curriculum but with emphasis on advising, career services, intellectual, wants all students to be comfortable, small and interesting classes, emphasis on community.

The town is adjacent to campus so very accessible to students. There are a few restaurants, a market, etc.

My DS is starting in the fall and we will be paying 25k less/year than if he had gone to the NESCAC that I attended.

First PP here - all of the above plus the significant international population of the school and the massive endowment (which means good professors and lots of enrichment opportunities.) It's on par with top SLACs but far less demand from the DMV so the odds are better than the more predictable New England schools.[/quote]

It's also the highest ranked SLAC that gives significant merit aid.[/quote][/quote]
