I attended a wedding for a recent grad, attended by many friends from his Vassar days- from his activities and from his dorm. He absolutely loved his experience, socially and in every other way.

My 51 year old alumni spouse is still friends with fellow Vassar grads as well. Two weekends ago, we visited one at his house on our way back from visiting our son at college. Last year, we enjoyed a group visit at someone else’s house with three other Vassar friends of my spouse and their spouses who also were Vassar grads— my spouse was the only one not to marry a fellow Vassar grad!

It was a happy place then, and it is a happy place now. It is also a beautiful and not-crowded campus, filled with studious students, who often may be in class or in the library. My mother-in-law said the same sort of comment when we were driving her around when she visited my son at another college (Williams), “This campus is empty!” Yet he has never lacked for things to do at Williams, and I am sure your kid would never lack for things to do at Vassar, whether attending one of their stellar theatre productions, listening to a lecture by a famous alumna/us in the arts, walking through the Shakespeare Garden or near the lake, attending a sporting event, having afternoon tea in the parlor in Main, going to a party, participating in a club event, talking with your friends over dinner in ACDC, protesting something, relaxing in your beautiful dorm room, or just studying in the gorgeous library.
