georgeandbob…love your user name. and I couldn’t agree with your post more! I can’t believe I hesitated about coming to W&L due to some of the stereotypes I read about. When I won the Johnson scholarship, it tipped my decision, but I can’t imagine having a better experience anywhere else.
I have met so many different types of people here, we have 476 in our freshman class from 400 different high schools. I may be self identifying, but I have to emphasize one of the advantages of going to a school like W&L, is the excellence and availability to so many extra curricular activities, I am a varsity athlete, heavily involved in the performing arts, and in a sorority. I love my quirky non-conforming, genuine friends, from every activity. Just my two cents. :)
