Colgate vs Wesleyan vs Vassar

You might find this recent thread helpful. My son was trying to get a better sense of Vassar and spoke to a number of current/recent students.

Will DS Fit in at Vassar?

DS is seriously considering Vassar. It is appealing in multiple dimensions. We visited the campus recently but it’s tough to get a feel for the campus vibe in these covid times. What we know about the vibe has been gleaned from college guidebooks and what we can find online. What we read online is often contradictory. DS is trying to connect with current students. Given its artsy, very progressive reputation, we are wondering if DS would feel at home there and find “his people” in adequate numbers. He is liberal but not an activist, has varied interests (sports to video games to playing a musical instrument) but is not artsy, and will likely major in something on the quantitative end of the spectrum but will probably minor in something completely different. Would welcome input from people with fairly recent, firsthand experience with Vassar. Thanks.
