Thanks for your response, especially the predominant high-achieving academic environment of the schools you mention. We are familiar with all schools’ tangibles, selectivity, etc., so really just looking for cultural vibe (eg frats, social life, political views and environment, diversity, inclusivity, etc); more the intangibles (from the outside), if you will. We are planning visits, and understand that wil provide a unique insight onto those intangibles, but are curious in view of the commentary across which we ran. In particular, we had assumed Rhodes and Sewanee were very very similar (other than as to location).
