[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your best bet is to apply to any that might possibly be a good fit, then do admitted student days and make decisions based on firsthand experience. My D26 is applying to Vassar, Wes, Middlebury and while she’s definitely liberal, she’s also in a fantasy football league right now, enjoys watching sports and from the way you described your son, would be good friends with him. [b]All the people who write things like “too woke” etc most likely haven’t had kids at these schools.[/b] Personally, I didn’t get a “too artsy” vibe from tours and info sessions as Vassar or Wes (haven’t toured Midd) they just seemed very accepting and diverse. They all sound like good fits for your kid, have him decide for himself which one is his favorite after acceptances roll out. [/quote]

Also, they won’t define “woke.” It’s a moving target. I wonder why that is?

Regardless, my kid at Wes loves it. It’s a welcoming environment (is that what they mean by “woke”? That all people are welcome and treated with respect?) with fantastic academics and so many things to get involved in. The president is one of the few speaking loudly and consistent against the Trump administration’s efforts to destroy higher education. It’s not for everyone, but no place is. Check it out.[/quote]
