<p>Come on Plainsman, don’t spoil our fun, we know all that. My kid chose Whitman because it fits him, and I presume the other students who are enrolled there did the same. Whitman College is certainly not a brand name that is on the lips of most college bound students, but it’s a great school and those who choose it love it more often than not. All the rankings are whacky and flawed, but there is something wonderful about Whitman showing pretty high up in all those whacky flawed rankings. </p>
<p>My S just finished a Whitman week long rock climbing “Scramble” and absolutely loved it. He’s moving into his dorm today. I think we’ll shoot Whitman to the #1 spot in our ranking system.</p>
