Agreed with Flyboy about the campus. It’s definitely not as physically beautiful as similar schools in New England, but it’s really not that big a deal (plus there are mountains in the background. tough to beat that ;)). Historymom is right about the drug use…readily accessible but no pressure whatsoever. I really don’t think it’s that different from any other LAC despite its stoner reputation.

Also, sometimes the block plan can be limiting. For example, my friend told me about one time in class when his professor was talking about a very long book (can’t remember its name…sorry) and he said “oh I’d love to have you guys read this, but it’s not really possible in 3.5 weeks”. Don’t get me wrong, I love the block plan, but there are times when it is just not possible to cover as much material as in a semester long course.
