[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you said you are looking for gender balance, but perhaps consider Sweet Briar College (all girls).  It really is a charming, wonderful school.[/quote]

With 3,000 -5,000 institutions of higher learning in the US, why would anyone pay private fees to a college which recently bellied up but was only narrowly saved by alums? That could happen again tomorrow [/quote]

I doubt it. They got rid of the old President. A new president is doing things in a different way.

I think the people trying to close the school for their own selfish purposes have been removed. It’s a lovely school. I’ve spent a lot of time on that campus. Pretty hiking trails. Horses. Small campus vibe with everything close. Good security. Nice library and gym. [/quote]

Sweet Briar’s closure had nothing tondi with “selfishness”. Go back and read. The President and Board felt it was fiscally irresponsible to continue to operate. It was a very serious matter. The alums got together to raise money to reopen. I would not send anyone there [/quote]
