<p>what type of person are you? what are some of your interests in your free time? What qualities do you want from peers? What kind of atmosphere do you want in a college? I know absolutely nothing about Vassar’s language program, other than that it has Russian, which I want to study :-D, but the reason I decided to apply was basically the qualities of the students, the feel of campus, etc. Again, I am not a student, so let’s wait to see what they say, but I would recommend telling everyone a little more about you so people would know whether you fit into the environment!</p>

<p>Personally I am an outgoing “go-getter” type of person that would probably be comfortable in a big social environment, but I think I would flourish in a small-style liberal arts college. I would definitely get to know everyone.</p>

<p>I work hard, but more importantly, have a passion in my studies. Not to sound nerdy, but the idea of spending some free time learning stuff even outside of the classroom intrigues me.</p>

<p>But in my spare time I like to excercize, workout, definitely socialize, go out, etc…</p>

<p>I’m not party animal, or anything close, but what is the social scene here like? I’m hoping not a all-seriousness no-fun workaholic atmosphere like the U of Chicago.</p>
