small classes, and some very dedicated teachers

the student body intellect not much diversity nor options in classes

i hated athletics

anyone who wanted to do an exemption for art, community service, etc., was treated as aa secondclass citizen

individual attention, i suppose, because no one was interested in doing art also, for the same reasons, the facilities were more available to those interested

it consisted of mostly one art class, sometimes independant studies, and no art history

there was a lot of student participation, and anything you wanted to do you were able to at least attempt it monetary support for the school was minimal, but generally faculty would support in other ways: their time, advice, etc.

many seemed empty, more of something to write on a college application than anything else

the late night dance aprties and bonding that could not possibly exist in any other setting also, my dorm the last two years wwas especially nice and comfortable--a good sized single, carpeting, windowseat, few girls to a hall (especially important because it meant few girls to a bathroom), a study bay at either end of the hall and a common room in the middle

curfews, male/female interaction (or lack of), the tendency for grls on a hall to develop group eating disorders and influence each other negatively

salad bar

trying to find vegetarian options that were eddible, especially at sitdown dinners (which were usually painful)

never really fit in--the cool kids were young republicans wwho wore bowties and said ridiculously stupid comments like, 'art is for burn outs'

no integration whatsoever, very little diversity in terms of class or race, and almost all students of a minority sat at the same 1 table at lunch

get off campus as much as possible watch movies dances

you did venture in, there are some restaurants within walking distance and a viddeo rental place otherwise, a day student could drive you to the stripmall or the movies, with special permission
