<p>i was just wondering why Guilford College is not listed?</p>
<p>Not listed where? There is surprisingly little talk about LAC's on CC. I think that a lot of the posts on CC tend to be very prestige oriented and even Amherst is not a name that the general public is familar with, at least compared to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT and Stanford.</p>
<p>hadn't noticed that before es219.....that is, no CC site for Guilford in their colleges section. Doing a quick survey, I see that they've included about half the USNews 3rd tier LACS, but Guilford is one of the ones left out. Don't know what the differentiator might be.....perhaps its CC's guesstimate on whether there would be a critical mass of posts...I see numerous colleges without any or much activity. I would have thought though that Guilford would be talked about.</p>
<p>I do wonder how the college forums get started. I'm sure that if somebody at Guilford sent an email to CC, then they would start a forum.</p>
<p>or even someone interested in it</p>
<p>well i am going to start my own unoffical chat about it here if CC wont or just hasent made a link for it... i was accepted last friday but i know very little about it and was hopeing people could tell anything they know about the kind of people that go there...i get the feeling that there liberal and stuff like that?</p>
<p>Find a copy of either/both the Princeton Review's "The Best nnn Colleges" or the "Fiske Guide to Colleges". Books like these give you a feel for the personality of a college. Guilford is a LAC with a student body of 1800. It has all the advantages of a LAC such as small classes and personal relationships with professors that you call by their first names. It has a beautiful campus and alot to do on and off campus. There is a college town and they like it. On the whole, the student body is liberal to the point of being "hippie". There is a strong physics and computer science curriculum.</p>
