<p>My daughter will graduate Wes in May. She has loved all aspects of her four years. She was a non-drinker and she NEVER experienced any problems what so ever socially. She had different groups of friends as she progressed thru the years and is still friendly with kids she met during her first year. This is college folks and no matter where your kids go there will be alot of drinking and pot smoking. I don’t know what world you live in where you would expect other wise. When I was in college in the late 1960’s there was.</p>
<p>This is a university where my daughter has had fantastic professors who constantly stimulated her to think creatively, to write beautifully, to speak effectively. The liberal arts education was all she and we hoped for and more.</p>
<p>She had a chance to study abroad for a semester and travel while in Europe. She met and has stayed in touch with students from all over the world. This was a Wesleyan program in Madrid. The program was beautifully run with a Wes professor at the local university to help the kids maximise their time abroad.</p>
<p>I have never heard her say that there was any intolerance in the classroom towards kids with less than liberal philosophies. What made class interesting was the give and take of debating really bright kids with different takes on things from all types of backrounds. Yes Wes is very liberal as are most LACs and it is quite politically correct.</p>
<p>From my vantage point President Roth is a great leader for Wes both as an intellectual and the school’s head cheerleader nationally and internationally. He has kept a strong hand on the economics during these hard times and has championed an eclectic mix of interdepartmental studies and new programs.</p>
<p>If anyone has any specific questions or concerns I would be more than happy to respond as a P"11". I will remain on this link until she graduates and moves on to grad school.</p>
