The vibe that I’ve gotten from guidebooks and people I’ve spoken to on the phone at Whitman is that’s it’s not so much that students are necessarily “outdoorsy”, but that they have an active lifestyle. I like the idea of going to a school where people care about themselves enough to take care of their bodies, regardless of whether it’s on the treadmill in the new fitness center or outside on the field. And plus, who wouldn’t want to go outside on a beautiful day? You can just sit outside and read if you’re not into playing sports (I’m a gym girl myself) or you can cheer your friends on.

I’m visiting next week so I haven’t seen this in person yet. If anyone wants to back me up it’d be great. :)
