<p>We just enrolled our d at Drew. She got into several good schools, but the award package she got at Drew was hard to resist. And there is absolutely no question that her merit awards are for the full 4 years. </p>
<p>We went down there for Spring Weekend. I fell in love with the place. It’s gorgeous! (Though I understand that freshmen dorms are in dire need of renovation ASAP.) I personally was very impressed with the prez; I think he IS going to change the place–but I definitely see that as a good thing. </p>
<p>Madison is a great little town in easy walking distance, and (as others have said) the train to NYC is right there.</p>
<p>The only downside is that it is a bit far from home (about 5 hours), so it’s gonna be a big adjustment. The more Drew lives up to its reputation as a nationally ranked liberal arts college and attracts out-of-staters, the more activity there will be on campus.</p>
