<p>Describe the atmosphere-- academic, political, intellectual, artistic, social. What is the spirit of the place? (Not asking about the K Plan.)</p>
<p>S. is a freshman at K College and loves it. For a small school, it has a nice mix of down-to-earth kids with varied interests, athletic, artistic, activist, etc. All types accepted, very tolerant atmosphere. Politically, it seems moderate to left. Rigorous academics with a conscientious, capable, bright student body. Healthy competition motivates students since it's a cooperative rather than cut-throat environment. Wide range of social activities available on campus, in downtown Kalamazoo, and next door at Western Michigan U.</p>
