<p>Those were really great posts, very helpful. Yes, reading guides that say things like this were alarming, as morganhil said: "So where do they get these ideas? Some of the college guides are the source–like the so-called “Insiders Guide to the Colleges” produced each year by the Yale Daily News. It describes Wesleyan as “an ultra-liberal school where political correctness is not just commendable but necessary” and quotes a student as saying if you come to Wesleyan you’d better bring “weed–you’ll make lots of friends.”</p>
<p>But I have a feeling that is ridiculous exaggeration. We were very impressed with the school when we visited last week. No hint of drug culture or any sort of discrimination. What a classy place Wesleyan is. You students fortunate enough to attend or get accepted are getting a first rate education and the experience of a lifetime.</p>
