Back with more questions! Talked with DD2 this morning, about her likes and concerns related to her top three schools. Related to Vassar, she said. She loved the Coach, students and curriculum. Her concerns were:
1.Concerned that outside of her sport, there isn’t much to do because there is no Greek life, Poughkeepsie looked boring, and the campus is small. She is wondering what else students do for fun.

1. Also, her friends told her that Vassar is very liberal. We are progressive, but she doesn't smoke, or drink (even when we try to give her a drink) and she does eat meat. She is concerned that it is so liberal that all of the dorms will be generally covered in a grey haze of second-hand pot smoke, and that she won't be able to get a chicken sandwich or eat a piece of bacon without being harrassed and called a murderer by other students.

I didn’t comment because I haven’t been to Vassar, but I am hoping someone can tell me that these aren’t valid concern?
