We toured and were underwhelmed and kid didn’t like it. But it didn’t seem all bad, just not right for my kid. I thought the little town was adorable. A friend’s kid is very happy there. To each their own. The LACs do all seem to have a specific vibe, so find the ones that appeal to your kid.

What the heck is WASP?

WASP is fairly commonly used, at least on this board.

Thank you.

btw doesn't davidson have a great endowment?

HACK are the top lacs. Been around for a long time, surprised if you haven’t heard.

However, it's debatable as to whether or not these are uniformly the best LACs in the nation.

LOL! It’s not debatable. The term HACK was clearly invented by an uninformed hack.

+1, HACK, WASP, they're all illegitimate.


+2. It's all about FETCH now.

OP: Thank you for posting your impressions. I like Davidson, but another poster's description of the area of NASCAR McMansions is accurate and has been for decades. NASCAR is huge in that region.

Tough to criticize universities as they are large enough to offer a lot of variety and options so that almost everyone can find their tribe and match their interests . LACs are small schools accompanied by a dominant personality and are typically located in remote, isolated areas. If one doesn't click with the overall vibe of a small school, then it's not a match for that individual student.



It’s not only nascar it’s Trump idiots .
Davidson’s proximity to Lake Norman duesbt help. The area is full of just nothing intelligent


Your post is barely literate, but I'm sure you have the "intellectual energy" OP is seeking.

You're being generous.

Oh, you're just not appreciating how intellectual and oh-so-delightfully-quirky her daughter is, which explains their disdain for Davidson (and probably Duke, Vanderbilt, etc.).

My son graduated from Grinnell College, and I had to laugh about the "intellectual energy" of Grinnell, IA LOL.

When I'm asked to clarify the meaning of HACK by using the term in a sentence, I'll usually say something like, "Go HACK, or go home."
