Thank you so much for this reply! This is truly helpful. Mine would also be a social sciences major.
I had one more question. I know that Vassar puts students from all grades in dorms together. I am used to a different model where freshman have designated housing just for them. I know your son graduated already – but do you remember how this experience was for him? Did your son like this? I don’t have a quiet kid, but he’s not super extroverted, so I wonder how he finds his people if they aren’t all living on a hall together and he isn’t a recruited athlete. Thx!
