My daughter is applying to W&L, and is weighing the benefits of a small liberal arts college against a large research university. More specifically, she’s wondering if W&L has a strong physics department, well funded, respected by the administration, focused on the education of the undergrads by professors (not grad students) who know how and want to teach. If anyone can comment on the physics program, or more generally the strength of sciences at W&L, that would be appreciated.
