I’ve been following your journey as I have a sophomore at MHC and ’23 who just committed to CWRU! Will send you a PM with some more details, but just want to say that MHC has been all the things you saw on your visits - warm and welcoming community, supportive and attentive faculty, diverse in many ways and - this was ultimately our ‘21s deciding factor - a place to really explore, grow, build skills and confidence, and find her path.

She is not STEM but does have many STEM friends, some doing research on campus this summer, some with great-sounding internships, etc. The labs and facilities seems great - and the maker space (“Fimbel”) has become a second home for her with a wide mix of students there.

All that said, if Physics is the path, it’s worth digging into the curricula at both places. I think the more open curriculum at MHC would lead to a very different academic experience than st CWRU - for instance, 4 classes/semester at MHC vs 5 at CWRU…very different styles.

Such great choices ahead, and for sure (I’ve seen this a few times with our older kids) she will love either (and forget the other) as soon as she clicks the button!!
