Thank you all so much for your well thought out impressions. I am also just trying to figure out why Dickinson has more of what we like, but somehow we ended the day slightly preferring F&M. Maybe it was just the “liking the most recent visit more” phenomenon (We saw Dickinson in the morning, F&M in the afternoon). Or maybe it’s as simple as liking red brick!! Just wondering if the preference has substance.

Also, it’s just hard to know where things might be better socially. My daughter is pretty passionate about environmental issues, is liberal, and is unlikely to join a sorority. She is attracted to schools that offer a lot of weekend activities, outing club trips, movies, etc, so that partying is not the only option.

That is not to say that she needs to be surrounded only by people like her, just that she would probably be happier where there are a good number of people who share her interests.

Thanks.
