[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rhodes College[/quote]
Best call so far.[/quote]

Agree. My husband and I are Davidson alums and our child currently attends Rhodes. Their experience at Rhodes mirrors so many of the positive aspects of Davidson: intellectually curious and collaborative students, extensive interaction with professors, research opportunities, beautiful campus, a friendly, supportive feel to the school, easy-going social scene. For us it was a great bonus that Rhodes offers generous merit aid. Internships and research are encouraged; our child has interned at St Jude and will soon begin a sports marketing internship working closely with the professional basketball team. D3 sports (though our child is not involved so can't comment on that aspect). It reminds us a lot of Davidson [/quote]

How southern does Rhodes feel?[/quote]

Seems like Rhodes, like Davidson, has made a concerted effort to attract progressive students from a wide variety of backgrounds (economic/geographic/racial/cultural) and my student doesn't feel like there's a particularly "southern" feel. With that said, the college is deeply involved with its Memphis community, with all the reward and challenge that city offers. During the college search process got a much more southern vibe from Furman and Wofford.[/quote]
