I know these schools are completely different, but this is what my decision has come down to. In the Midwest it seems no one has heard of Vassar. I know this shouldn’t be a factor at all in my decision, but does this say anything about the strength of Vassar’s academics? Academically, which is more highly rated? I plan on attending law school, and hope to get into litigation. Any insights on how either school compares in preparing for law?

Also, I know that the student body at Vassar is completely different than that of BC. I tend to identify myself more with an artsy crowd, so I should survive, but I have heard there’s a high ratio of… Strange people? Just repeating rumors haha, but it is a concern in comparison to BC. The lopsided girl to guy ratio is also pretty bad for me as well. I’ve heard Vassar’s great for straight males, and horrible for straight girls. Any insights at all into the Vassar student body/social life?
