So, I’ve been accepted by all these great schools and I’m having a really hard time making a decision. Can you guys tell me what’s the “character” of each school’s student body? And also, what are some similarities and differences between these schools besides the obvious stuff like location? Thanks in advance.

Don't know anything about Carleton. Only know that Grinnell is a top school and attracts Eastern liberals.

Colgate is beautiful but Vassar is gorgeous. Kids attending Vassar and Wesleyan are similar...Vassar probably has the edge of theatre while Wesleyan has the edge in music - but that means a lot of students who DON'T major in them are involved as extracurriculars. Vassar has more students from California while Wesleyan has more from New England.

Colgate is traditional compared to all the other schools (heavy Greek life, sports especially hockey due to the cold).
