[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colgate. Lots of athletes, but[b] the whole school is pretty athletic,[/b] outgoing, and social. Haters drag it because it has too many normies who just want to have fun, work hard, and be financially successful… so it fits the bill. Outstanding Econ department, and really strong life sciences. We hire a ton from there, the kids are balanced and work their tails off.[/quote]

Exactly the opposite of what OP is looking for.[/quote]

I think she actually was asking for this in a polite way. Athletes are only 35% of the LAC student population. [b]So if the other 65% (ie the NARP population) [/b]was exactly what her "regular straight guy" son wanted, there wouldn't be a problem.  She obviously is concerned that the non-athletes are not also "regular straight guys" but her son won't be friends with the athletes because they are socially isolated.

She was politely saying her son is a normie, and she is concerned he will find himself in a difficult social context. [/quote]

The problem is that the "other 65%" is not necessarily "regular people". At many LACs the non-athletes have their own tight cliques - URMs, rich kids, etc. Just "not being an athlete" won't get you into these other cliques.[/quote]
