<p>Hi, yes, I’m one of those awful prospies. </p>
<p>Briefly - I went on a road trip to PA with some friends, saw Haverford, fell in love with the idealism/campus, felt inspired (we had a really nice tour guide), but didn’t interview or anything like that because I had hardly heard of Haverford before we went there.</p>
<p>I applied ED to another school, got deferred, and consider Haverford to probably be my second choice. When I visited, it felt like an idealistic little bubble - a nice one, though, a sort of haven. The thing I’m worried about now is that bubble being suffocating. Haverford’s tiny - it’s the smallest school by far on my list. I’m just worried that if I do go there, I’ll feel like screaming or something after six months. </p>
<p>When I visited, I noticed everyone on campus was fit, average to attractive, well-groomed, seemingly well-adjusted, and extremely PC. I’m not an athlete, but I’m not really artsy either. Now I just feel concerned about whether Haverford is as good a fit as I thought it was - sorry to bother you, but if you’d confirm/deny some of my impressions I’d appreciate it.</p>
<p>ETA: I should clarify - what concerned me about your post was the lack of originality thing. I live in suburbia; I need to get away from my high school environment. Do you get the feeling that Haverford is conformist in the sense that you NEED to be utterly PC all the time, concerned about peace, or that the type of people you meet are the ones that came from liberal, wealthy families who were raised on NPR and who were politically aware when they were 14? And who are concerned about issues, but in an essentiailly shallow sort of way?</p>
<p>I suppose I’m just… throwing out stereotypes… basically, I’m wondering if an amazing two hour tour could be a mistaken impression.</p>
