[quote=Anonymous]McDaniel College in Westminster, MD. My younger sister went there and it was incredibly supportive (she is very bright and has a mild learning difference). I visited her several times and could not get over how NICE, friendly, and caring everyone was - her friends were great, but this also included random people encountered around campus. It was a huge contrast to my competitive SLAC. I struggled with depression and anxiety during college and while I was able to get effective treatment quickly and was able to remain reasonably functional, it was clear that with kids who were in worse shape than I was, the school would quickly send them home until they could get it together. The health center was awesome but outside those walls, there was not much support from the school. Definitely a sense that if you couldn't hack it, there were plenty of transfer students out there who would love to take your place. I undoubtedly would have felt more supported at a school like McDaniel where they wouldn't let you fall through the cracks. It is definitely a college where anyone can feel safe and cared for. A great education too - my sister and her friends (very bright and dynamic people) went on to successful careers in education, nursing, and business. Unlike me, they all were employed in their fields very quickly after graduation. [/quote]
