Just wanted to put it out there that, having visited a whole host of LAC’s with two kids that were both interested in theater, Wesleyan’s theater scene for non-majors is second to none. Their Second Stage student-run theater group puts on a new show practically every week. It’s amazing. So, if you can find the time, it’s well worth a trip up from New Haven.
I’ll agree with several others on this thread, however, that, in our experience, college visits when there are no students around to provide a sense of the “vibe” of the student body are of limited utility. Without that, it feels like you’re mainly just evaluating the physical campus and the setting, neither of which, in my estimation, are among the most important indicators of the true character of a school.
