I am at Vanderbilt but seriously considered W&L. It is very good, but one thing to consider is its location. It is very isolated. People seem to say corporations like the school. How many recruit there? For interviews getting from Lexington to anywhere is difficult and was part of the reason I did not go.

Columbia is the only Ivy that still asks students to take courses on the foundations of the West. I think that is a great aspect of the school and wish I had considered it. A neighbor I respect a lot went there and loved it. They are working for an ad agency in New York because the connections they made.
