As I indicated in my original post I am confident my son could fit at any of the schools as he is comfortable associating with a wide variety of people, although I think the more athletic orientation of Colgate (and perhaps Trinity) might suit him better than the artsier environment at Wesleyan. That being said, while I found Greek life to be an integral part of my college experience, I’m not sure if he’ll want to go that route, which would give Wesleyan an edge.
Lots for him to ponder over the next 3 weeks. But we’re happy that he has such wonderful options, and we don’t feel he’ll go wrong whatever choice he makes.
I just hope that for him and all incoming freshmen that they’ll be able to have a normal academic year, which is surely in doubt at the moment.
