[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was there a process or criteria you used to identify F&M and W&M? Those are interesting choices, given your question. [/quote] Franklin & Marshall is known to be a pressure cooker. Very intense academically. I would not send a kid with depression there. He needs to feel successful, and that is not the type of atmosphere that will be nurturing. Great school, but not for a kid with the issues you describe, OP. W&M I don't know anything about personally, but I've been told it's quite competitive. It's hard to get into, so attracts competitive, high achievers. Dickenson might be a good choice. Near F&M, but lower pressure. Seemed like a more relaxed place. My kid was very interested, but didn't get enough FA. [/quote] I know a girl who was struggling with depression and other emotional issues. Things didn’t work out from the get-go at W&M and she left spatter freshman year. I wouldn’t recommend it.[/quote]
