I started my second term of the year today and it really made me look forward to W&L when in my government class (which I thought would be really enjoyable), there are 34 people, thus a small chance for participation, and a lot of “pinko commie radicals” that make my views (moderate to liberal Democrat) look conservative. Also, when I realized that if I wanted to transfer out of the class, I would have to wait three hours to get a program change. Add to that the one hour commute to school via NYC subway and I really want out.

W&L really needs to work on its image though. When I mentioned it to my acting teacher, she said she couldn’t picture me at such a conservative school and that it’s practically a training ground for Klansmen. Things that are obviously not true but stereotypes like this do exist and that’s why no one from my school ever applies to W&L.
