I guess it depends on how you define “woke” I didn’t get a overly woke vibe, nor an overly conservative - though I guess I am pretty liberal myself so that’s where my prospective was looking at it from

Has HWS gone woke? I don't have any recent experience with it, but back in the day I thought of it as a somewhat less selective analogue of Trinity in Hartford.

"They make those survey results up. It's no better than random."

Viewers who would like to draw their own conclusions may want to consider this excerpt from the Princeton Review:

"Surveying tens of thousands of college students on hundreds of campuses is a large undertaking. In 1992, when we published the first edition of our Best Colleges book, our student survey was a paper survey. We conducted the survey on the college campuses working with school administrators to get their permission for us to set up tables in centrally trafficked locations at which students filled out the surveys. Sometimes in order for us to collect surveys from a wide range of students, freshmen to seniors, this process took place over several days and various on-campus locations. We were pleased to have surveyed about 120 students per campus on average via that format and method.

"However, the launch of our online student survey made it possible for us to gather opinions from far more students per college than we had reached previously. It also made the process more efficient, secure, and representative. Now all of our surveys are completed online. The average number of student surveys (per campus) upon which our ranking lists are annually tallied has jumped from about 120 to 435 students."

Princeton Review is totally tarted. I swear they just throw darts at a list of schools on the wall to come up with those lists.[/quote]
In that Princeton Review results are based on extensive survey data rather than preconceptions and sterotypes, such an impression should not be unexpected.[/quote]

Give me a break. They make those survey results up. It's no better than random.
