<p>One of the main reasons that I am drawn to LAC’s and Haverford is the emphasis they place on widely-useful skills such as critical/independent thinking and communication. Could anyone provide examples of how Haverford has done this? The idea of such teaching sounds great, but I would like to know how it has actually happened in practice.</p>
<p>Also, how good is the education in writing and other communications? Again specific information would be helpful.</p>
<p>Finally, how have any students felt about the distribution between one’s major and other areas? Meaning, how much time roughly is spent on each? I understand that a liberal arts education is broad, and I value that, yet I am just curious as to how intense of an education students receive in their majors.</p>
