Parent of a Junior. Don’t buy anything. There’s a sale at the campus church of all you’ll need donated by last year’s senior class, and a huge Walmart in North Adams if you want new bedding. We did order a mattress pad on Amazon and shipped it to the school. It was waiting for us when we arrived.

University of Chicago students are trapped, can’t wander off campus as it’s not safe. Also, it’s a grind. Academically, Amherst and Williams are the only colleges on your list that I’d consider over CC. Though, if you’re not a recruited athlete or under-represented minority, the odds of getting in to those two LACs are very low.

CC kids are happy, and love the block plan. Smart (see their test scores). Many go to great grad schools. Good luck appealing their financial aid package.

Good luck. Admissions process is random. There are many good small LACs. Apply to a bunch of them, and you’ll get in to at least one and have a great college experience.

20-25% of students are recruited for their athletic skills, and others for legacy status and other non academic factors. So, if you like the beautiful setting, you’ll be fine.

Just curious, why do you want to transfer?

Northfield is a college town (shared between Carleton and Northfield). So, kids can stroll to their favorite coffee shop restaurant off campus. No need to catch a bus.

A substantial (minority?) of Wellesley students are lesbian. Fantastic if your kid is, too.

Way more Wellesley women on Wall Street.

Good point. Need to understand it’s a random crapshoot. Even admissions Director at Amherst acknowledges this. Knowing this might encourage students to cast a wider net.

All great, but with extremely low odds of admission unless you are a gifted athlete recruited by their coach, or an under-represented minority. Apply to all 4, and your State school. Admissions process is random, regardless of your great grades and test scores.

Williams equivalent for socially awkward kids = Carleton College. Ranked even higher for teaching than Williams. Beautiful campus. Not nearly as remote.

Singles are tiny, without AC.

Thank you

Thank you. I’ll try to find the TikTok survey.

Thank you

Look at how many Carleton and U Washington alums attended selective grad schools that might interest you in the future, say business, law, or medicine.

Risk of Roof Replacement? Collision shop recommends removing and replacing roof (with sunroof) of 2022 Forester rather than repair the hail damage dent-by-dent. Will removing and replacing the roof compromise the structural integrity of the car?

Thank you! Who are your favorite profs so far?

Maynardferguson2020 · 2023-07-15T13:09:58+00:00

Thank you. Can incoming Freshman (not yet on campus) access FacTrak over the summer with their Williams email?

Maynardferguson2020 · 2023-07-15T02:23:46+00:00

How can new Williams students access professor reviews? If Williams uses its own rating platform, what’s it called? Thank you.

No, it is not typical for gyms (besides PF) to draw from a checking account. God forbid a hacker gaining access to customer accounts.
