<p>Yes, the person who decided to go to Earlham was concerned about what the of maintenance met in terms of its endowment, etc. She also had wanted to attend college in a warmer place than Indiana, but still managed to flourish at Earlham. Her spending a semester in Africa may have helped, too. </p>
<p>My S visited Earlham, but didn’t like it. He said the students were too passive, and the town didn’t seem to offer much in terms of things to do. I know students and recent Earlham alum, however, who were very pleased with their experiences. One, however, was very shy and sheltered when she went there, so it may be a great place for shy students. My S is more outgoing than is the student whom I know who is happy there.</p>
