My daughter is a freshman at W&L. She went to a selective private high school and was very much into academics. She loves the small class size and the individual attention she receives from her professors. However, she feels it is very much like high school and that there are so many “mean” girls at the school. Very rude, unfriendly and loud. She went through rush and pledged which is a very unusual rush program. Alot of drinking. Could not believe all the drinking I saw at parent’s week-end. Said she would not have gone there had she known the type of students at the school. She did visit the campus 3 times and stayed in the dorm and applied early decision and got in.
