@Dancepsychlove: Davidson senior here. When I used to contribute to this board in my first two years, people gave me some grief, too. My descriptions of the party scene were especially controversial…even though I think I did a fair job of presenting events as they happened, without sugar-coating, but without incriminating anyone either. In my opinion, if a prospective student is turned off by an honest report of student life from an ordinary student’s perspective, Davidson might not be for them…and that’s o.k.!

I maintain that there’s nothing wrong with sharing your personal experience at a school, though those in the P.R. department will always take issue with it. Do what you feel is right (and know that people will quit bugging you within 6 months of your last post), but remember that College Confidential is a very useful source of inside-information for lots of prospective students, and the first amendment stands. I’m sure you’ve given many prospective students a lot to think about and I’m sure they appreciate every bit of it. Good work and good luck.
