As far as the housing you mentioned, these are program, specialty housing. Most students don’t live in them. My D, a very active member of the communitiy, didn’t live in a program house, nor did anyone she knew. So they exist, but they do not affect the choices of most students.

Chalking was a big issue last year. The campus bureaucracy would like the campus to be a bit more sedate, so they banned it. Of course, this just brought out the rebel in many students, so a non-issue became an issue.

My eclectic-minded, can’t-be-pigeon-holed, daughter felt absolute warmth and acceptance here.

Different minority groups will assert themselves, and the queer community is very vocal, too. If a kid would be uncomfortable with that, Wes might be a problem, but if your child enjoys being challenged and asked to think in all kinds of ways, they’ll be fine here.
