<p>Good thing my son, who will also be a Wesleyan Freshman in September, and I, both took the Wesleyan stereotypes from college guides with a grain of salt, so he interviewed and visited last summer. Son is conservative (although not socially so) and does not drink or take drugs at all…yet, he found Wes to be the best fit for him academically and creatively. He’s open to all viewpoints, looking forward to engaging academic and social discussions on many topics in college, and he expects that those who are more liberal than he and in the majority at Wesleyan politically (both students and faculty) will be as well. </p>
<p>(also, he has expressed to me that he’d find it dull to go to a school where everyone is exactly like him–where is the education in that?)</p>
