My younger son received a “wink” letter in February, but there are lots of teens going to get good news and merit money as March progresses. (A lot of SLACs send these letters out to their hottest prospects.) My older son is a current Bio major at Puget Sound (class of 2016). I have great things to say about his experience at the school, and I know how hard it is to pick a school so here’s my review:

All classes seem to be under 20 students
Professors are totally accessible
He’s gotten all his classes
Profs can be reached (by students) and they consistently open up new sections when things are full
Workload can be heavy first semester Frosh year, as writing takes a big leap forward
(Greek rush, if applicable, is second semester for freshman, thank goodness)
Students are very involved and engaged
Very friendly on all fronts
One-third are from CA so our house is full of his friends over the winter break
Parents council gives you a chance to get involved, if you like
Gorgeous (and very safe)
Don’t need a car: WA mass transit is excellent, Zip cars on campus, easy shuttles to airport
