<p>No one seemed to reply on my recent thread in the college search area, so i came here to seek for insightful advices from experienced parents.
Thankyou very much!!</p>
<p>How would u rank these colleges in each category?
strong Pre-med program
campus location (2 hr drive within a city-at least 100000 people)
have a laid-back, home-like atmosphere
weather condition
campus aesthetics
dormitory cleaness
class difficulty (grade inflation…etc)</p>
<p>Carleton, Colby, Colgate, macalester, Middlebury,lafayette, and Williams</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about the colleges you have listed but you are from Oklahoma and I’m from Texas so I thought I’d stop and say hi. </p>
<p>First, you might not get many responses because you’ve posted this at the Parents Cafe instead of the Parents Forum. The Forum is for school-related questions while the Cafe is for non-school talk. However, lots of parents wander here so you may get good responses anyway. If not, you might want to repost your thread on the Parents Forum.</p>
<p>Second, the “Discussion Home” page has a link to a thread welcoming the new Colby representative as a poster. That might be a good place to ask Colby College questions and get a response from someone who really knows Colby.</p>
<p>Third, you may need to post threads on the college pages for each of the colleges in which you are interested. I’ve seen students post things like “How do you compare College X and College Y?” and get some helpful responses.</p>
