Colby College vs. Washington and Lee

Moosefan93 - Congrats!

As a parent of a W&L student, I will comment on W&L only.

I think an additional Pros specifically for your interests could include:

  • a minor that W&L offers called Law, justice & Society. Some of the course offerings are taught by the professors at the W&L Law School (and taken with the law students).
  • Mock Convention is an activity that builds over the years to predicting the next presidential candidate of the party running against the incumbent party. It is a big activity at W&L with various ways to be involved as little or as much as one would like.

As to the Cons you mentioned:

  • Greek life does play a huge roll. Our student is part of a frat and while it wasn’t on his bucket list either he has found it enjoyable. He also has friends who did not join any frats.

I doubt you will be ostracized at either school if you do not drink.

You have at least 2 great options to choice from!
