One of the main attractions of Whitman for my daughter was the outdoor program and especially the opportunities for rock climbing. What happened? Rugby, Campus Greens, a social life. After her great scramble, in two years she went on one camping trip, one ice-climbing trip and a couple of skiing trips, only two of them events sponsored by the outdoor program. Her weekends are a juggling exercise in an attempt to do sixteen different things with time for only eight. When I hear what she does it sounds wonderful and varied; sometimes it’s a rugby game or flag football, but often it’s going to a play her friends are in or political work or something in the community. Be prepared to be surprised by college. That’s a good thing.
