[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the suggestions. My DC is a good student for the most part, but he can be easily derailed by cruelty. The frat scene would not be a good place. He is kind, currently working as a volunteer helping those in need. But he has suffered from depression. I like the idea of schools in sunnier locations, but those would be far away, and the four to five hour drive radius is attractive. [/quote]

[b]My DC graduated from a SLAC with no frats, and she's often mentioned how grateful she is that her college had no frat scene.[/b] [/quote]

DP. My DC is currently at a SLAC with no Greek system and also says it makes things much mellower. I think that for a kid like OP describes, a Greek-free campus or at least one where social life is not dominated by Greek life would be preferable. Even kids who are not Greek can end up feeling like that system is the core of much social life, on many campuses. Not a great scene for kids like OP's -- or even for kids like my own, who is highly social but not at all into the party scene. [/quote]

I'm a Mary Washington alum and one of the main reasons I picked that school was it having no Greek system.  There was still plenty of socializing and parties - but with everyone.  It was a great way to meet other students on a small campus.  Loved it there.[/quote]
