A total stoner could have a hard time lasting very long at this school. The block plan is rather intense. All classes have fewer than 50 students. Most have fewer than 20, with lots of interaction, so you cannot sit in the back of a large lecture and just “chill” all morning. Favorite weekend pastimes include outdoorsy activities like mountain biking, rock climbing, and downhill skiing (which all require a fairly clear head.) For these reasons, I think the “reefer madness” reputation may be a bit overblown.

The setting is gorgeous, yet it’s one of the few LACs located in a real city. For study abroad or field work, the block plan is much more flexible than a conventional system.
