Didn’t say it was a bad idea to do the program, and I’ll echo the comment “the picture painted by brochures… is not the [real] sunny-happy smile land.”

You did get from this conversation the “more data” I suggested you go after. Bigredmed’s suggestion “she’ll have the best possible experience in the program if… she’d join a sorority.” Think what he’s saying subtly: The best way to experience the intimate learning community for four years is to minimize contact with said learning community…

Keep asking questions, you’re bound to get more data.

I also wouldn’t say the program is a feather in UNL’s cap. It’s still a growing entity that’s mired with a history of failures and lies. How many [paying] organizations do you know Gallup to refuse?

Like I said, don’t jump head-first without reading how deep the pool is. It’s not the regulation 10 feet you’re expecting. You’re still looking to join the neighborhood pool, not Oceans of Fun.
