<p>You have all pointed to Wesleyan’s vigor and energy --but alternatively, I am wondering if Vassar might be somewhat of a gentler ride. Is Vassar a drop less rigorous? Can you get through Vassar with less work? Is Vassar a gentler place --in terms of student personality and the actual academics-- for the student who could benefit from that?</p>
<p>I realize this is the opposite question usually asked on this board, where people seek more and more. I am wondering if Vassar is a bit “less” in a way that might be gentler or kinder for some kids who would do better in an atmosphere a little lower-key? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
