OP- thanks- I wonder how much one can really rely on these characterizations. Every school seems to be entirely populated either by Patrick Batemans or non-binary Greta Thumbergs.


That's the whole generation, really... except that Thunberg herself is more self-aware than most.

Yes, I take most everything here as anecdotal. Sometimes you can tell when a poster has IRL direct experience. Good luck.

The posts in this thread are accurate.

If you fit in, you won't be disappointed. Beautiful campus. If student has a car, it's interesting to just drive in any direction to get away for a bit.

Students come from families that are comfortable with respect to financial matters.

Seems a bi like a mating ground for folks who want their kids to marry well--not SMU well--but financially comfortable well.

Suggest you ask around IRL to get more informed opinions. Certain colleges are hated on dcum and this seems to be one of them.
