@doschicos…Ha! The “cocky” mention was what caught my attention…good to hear it’s an autocorrect. In truth, I’ve worried about an academic cockiness at Williams. My D, to her credit, is more comfortable with humility. She can hold her ground, but would prefer to be around people who listen to each other instead of those who seem to have complete confidence in their opinions. Essentially liberal in her views, she gets a little exhausted by non-stop activism. She’d seeks a place where different perspectives can be debated intelligently and civilly (don’t we all?). To me, Haverford seems very, very civil and intelligent…but is the student body diverse in its perspectives? I suspect it is; however, I don’t have any evidence.
Holy cow. My daughter was just accepted to Yale.
Congrats!
