<p>I have a young friend who graduated from there about 4 years ago. She is down to earth, extremely smart, highly motivated, and passionate about progressive issues. She also is a Quaker. Had very high scores and grades, and turned down higher ranked colleges for Guilford.</p>
<p>She liked the fact that the college was in line with her values. She also liked the fact that the teaching was excellent, and professors were willing to help her go more into depth with their subjects than what their coursework required.</p>
<p>She said the coursework was relatively easy, but she learned a lot because she worked closely with her professors.</p>
<p>She also developed close friendships with students who were as interested in learning and in progressive issues as she is.</p>
<p>Since graduating, she has lived in Cuba and Mexico doing journalism and advocacy work.</p>
<p>A mutual friend of her and me considered applying to Guilford a couple of years ago but after visiting, decided not to apply. She said the campus looked rundown. . Instead, that girl went to Earlham College, and has been very happy there.</p>
