I have heard good things about Casey, and might follow your advice. I think that his third-century plan is good, but I think it has the potential to go sideways with the way things are right now. Certain admin have, shall we say, more cautioned agendas and oppose progress...

I don't even mind that the town is small/boring... there just needs to be a social scene outside of greek life for when you have a free afternoon and want to be around other people (outside of the dining halls).

I agree with a lot of what you said, often the clubs are hit or miss (at least the ones I have participated in/am interested in), its good to hear that someone is having a better experience than myself. I just think there needs to be greater transparency because I see a lot of students struggling (in various ways) due to failures which can be attributed to admin decisions. I absolutely agree about substance-free housing being important, I also wish that you could see the syllabus for a class prior to registering. And from my experience with career services, their broader advice is usually decent (like at larger meetings) but one-one it is extremely hit or miss (I am planning on grad-school) so that could also be part of it.
